keyboard error when locking the machine

[lab-guy]

Hi all -

Lock my machine several times a day using (win key & L) when I walk away
from the desk. When I come back, I put in my password and I'm in.

Sometimes, though, I get an error when putting in my password, that the
caps lock in on. I cannot turn caps lock off, and can't get back in to the
machine,
so end up shutting it down.

Is extra annoying because I run an emulator window to an AS400 , and the
400 doesn't always let be back in right away.

Any ideas ? Thanks -

Mike

Why can't you turn off Caplock? Is it indicated as being on, on the
keyboard? Is the keyboard responding correctly or is the system trying
to power it off in power saving. Check the Power management tab for it
in Device manager an also if it is USB check the ports for the same
thing. UNcheck Allow computer to turn off to save power.

Also, the Shift key would reverse any Caps lock output, so pressing
Shift as you type in the password _should_ give you lower case.
