Hi guys, it seems like everytime I type some characters and numbers which I didn't touch will appear, like as in if I type hello it will turn into he///ll//o oe something like that. I have got this problem with my previous computer and this is indeed frustrating as I have to backspace and retype. Is it some kind of virus or programming error? By the way my computer is a 10 month old Dell Dimension 3100. And it seems like the problem is currently gone. But it does resurface every now and then. Experts please help:cheesy:

Hey Turbo .. I'm no expert but.I had an intermittent poblem kinda like that that on an old dell inspiron laptop... my 1-q-a-z keys would act weird or just not work occasionally... i didthe keyboard swap and i also took the keyboard out of the laptop and used it on another laptop ... I also took the keycaps of and tweaked and cleaned the switches. I also check the drivers ... I finally switched operating systems on the computer and its been working fine ever since.
