Then I switch to another application et voilà it works fine. I can press the same key, the t say, 100 times and absolutely nothing will happen. No alt-, ctrl-, or windows- commands are executed when any of those keys are typed. It only effects a single application when it occurs. Something as yet undetermined happens in the wonderful world of Windows XP (I have one user reporting this in the Mac OS as well) wherein those four letters are completely ignored as input.

It is definitely not a keyboard problem, a driver issue, a problem with the specific application, or a keyboard shortcut issue-nor is it a virus or spyware. I have seen this happen in Outlook before, but I’ve seen it happen a couple of times in Firefox and once in Opera. This time it was these four letters: t, h, c, and v, but I think that sounds like what it was on other occasions (though I don’t recall perfectly). I have not yet found a solution but when I do it will find a home here.īasically what happens is I will hop over to a specific application, try to type into that application, and find that certain particular letters will do nothing.

Every once in a great while I see this odd problem arise.
