Sasha would explain but she can't for this reason. LOL

Have a read here http://ma.tt/2002/12/stop-sdrawkcab/ Maybe even "sticky keys" in accessibility options

This morning it seems ok and then other times it skips as though I'm pressing down on a key. It was just really strange how it just skipped back one space everytime I typed.

Original Opulent Optimist Posts: 6,542 Group: Sapphire Member Member #301 Joined: May 7, 2006	my keyboard sometimes takes on a life of its own as though the space bar is constantly pressed down. I find hitting it with a hammer usually works :whistle:

Current Residence (State or County): Head in Australia, Heart in England	Heather pull it off and have a look underneath there might be something stuck underneath that moves about and lodges there sometimes like a biscuit/toast crumb or broken fingernail or something. Clean it off gently and refit and see if that helps. (hard to get back on though usually need someone who understands these things...)
