    Every couple of minutes. the arrow keys start going all on their own.

    Also, there is a DOS game, Liero, I cannot play because the arrow keys act COMPLETELY on their own.

    What's causing this? Anyway to fix it. Is it likely to be a bios error, driver issue or physical damage for leaning on the keyboard? If so is it easy to fix?

    You should turn on StickyKeys to prevent this problem. But that's just a cover, you need to find out why the arrow key is going haywire.

    Blast, Tiny XP doesn't have that option. Grr. I'll have to see if I can install it later, if I can find my XP CD-roms.

    Well, so far i've seen you struggle with many problems with your Zepto, maybe you should start considering contacting your representative to get all of those fixed at once?
