I just plugged in an Aron Canada 107/108 Key PS2 Keyboard into my
laptop and it is just doing the craziest thing to my system. It may
type normally for a few minutes, but soon it starts generating the
wierdest, most random sequence of characters, including meta-
characters which cause system utilities like the auto-narrate to turn
on or even for the computer to crash. Somehow the external keyboard
problems then infect my laptop keys too! Yikes! I just rebooted with
the keyboard plugged in and got "Operating System not found."

I checked the Control Panel and it recognizes an external PS2 101/102
Keyboard. I don't know why this isn't 107/108.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mitch
