    When im playing WoW-world of warcraft, i will be holding say the W key to move forward and then pushing the 1-5 keys to use my attacks, and sometimes it wont seem to be clicking or hitting them even when i hit it numerous times, but when i take my finger off of W for a split second it works, is there a way around this so i can use W and my other keys. :mad:

    Try this:

    http://aliendl.alienware.com/Mobile/m15x/m15x_Touchpad_Vista_10.1.8.0_WHQL.exe

    This is the touchpad driver 10.1.8.0 WHQL..Perhaps it may solve the keyboard problem... I would advise contacting tech support to download the correct patch/driver.

    furthermore, some have reported that uninstallting the touchpad drivers (synaptics) also solved the problem..

    Hope this helps,

    Yemo :)
