Title: Trouble with my keyboard on this site.
Post by: Shadowphile on September 01, 2006, 03:58:10 PM
Every now and then, when I go to post here, my keyboard messes up and the letters get scrambled.  This post, for example was written up on notepad and transfered.  Typed on the keyboard, it looks like this:

>k.pf br, abe yd.bw ,d.b C ir yr lroy d.p.w mf t.fxrape m.oo.o gl abe yd. n.yy.po i.y ojpamxn.ev  Ydco lroyw urp .qamln. ,ao ,pcyy.b gl rb bry.lae abe ypabou.p.ev  Yfl.e rb yd. t.fxrapew cy nrrto nct. ydcoS

Does anyone else suffer this problem?

Things seem to correct themselves if I close the window I'm in and log back on...

Are you sure you don't have some kind of malware, a keylogger or some such, running on your computer?

Is this the only site it does that with?

Are you using Internet Explorer as your browser?  Whichever browser you are using, have you tried it with a different one?  If so, did it still do it?  If you are running Explorer and don't have another browser, download Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) - you'll be glad you did - then report back if this at least treats the symptom.

How old is your computer and/or keyboard (I have heard of keyboards getting 'viruses.')

I run virus scans and adware/spyware scans daily.

Is this the only site it does that with?

Yes

Are you using Internet Explorer as your browser?

Yes

Whichever browser you are using, have you tried it with a different one?

No

 If so, did it still do it?

See above

If you are running Explorer and don't have another browser, download Firefox - you'll be glad you did - then report back if this at least treats the symptom.

Will look into it.

How old is your computer and/or keyboard (I have heard of keyboards getting 'viruses.')

They are each just over a year old.


Thanks
