    Hi all, as the title says I would be typing quite dandy as im doing now to make this post and all of a sudden if a have a word with the letter g in it the sidebar flashes on and off etc.

    The letter t would bring up computer showing me the drives.

    Another letter would bring up the run command and essentially everything key starts triggering something and I have to restart the computer.

    Just recently im updating my resume and when I hit the spacebar the sidebar starts triggering.

    What is the problem??

    Can anyone assist?

    I would be grateful for your replies.
