Has Anyone Ever Heard Of This Before

[Lvubun]

I posted a problem eariler that I thought was related to Quicktime. But I
just realized it has nothing to do with Quicktime, it has to do with the
letter "Q". If I download anything that starts with the
letter "Q" it gives a message and won't save to computer. If I open a
notepad and try to save it with a name starting with Q, I go where I saved
it at and it isn't their. If I take a file that is already on my computer
and rename it anything that starts with a "Q" when I hit enter to save it
the file just vanishes. If I install a program, any files or folders that
start with "Q" don't save to my computer, does anybody have a solution to
this?

No problems with files or folders whose name begins with "Q" here, nor
have I ever heard of anything similar occurring anywhere else.

What is the specific text error message you mention, but fail to quote?
That may contain a clue as to what's happening.

i had a wireless keyboard that gave me the same problem with the letter "O".
one day I came home and found my pc turned on. thought it was a fluke, but
this was happening on a regular occurance. I was totally amazed that the
keyboard had a special key that could actually turn my pc on from a cold
start. i got rid of it because it was trying to connect to the internet
without my knowledge.....
