    I just got my Inspiron 1545 on Friday and I'm already having problems. Can someone please help since Dell's Technical Support couldn't.

    When I type certain letters, I activate hidden commands that I don't know about. For instance, when I type "bb" I somehow activate the bold function. At one point, I typed "th" and it selected by text (as if I just clicked on "ctrl+a"). There were other weird things that happened as well.

    Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? I'd like to type normally without having to be worried about my text being reformatted.
