    If my computer hibernates/sleeps, and sometimes even without doing that, the keyboard gets screwed up. In other words, when I type an "F", I may get "/". When I type "A", I may get a "4". Why is this happening and/or how do I fix it? I can restart it and it works, but I don't want to have to restart each time. Thanks.

    I blame some software you have installed...

    Is this on the original install direct from the factory? What sort of programs are you running?

    Yes. I've had the computer for 2 months now. I have installed various small software packages for projects I'm doing on the computer. How do I determine which software could be causing the problem? Examples are music file converters, video file converter, and Office 2007. I have uninstalled a couple of these programs as well for other reasons.
