recently my pc was doing something strange. the letter n
is appearing without me typing anything. when i open
notepad all these n's just come up. i take the batteries
out of my keyboard (wireless) but this still happens.
when i am exploring files or folders it always jumps to a
folder or file beginngin with n and when i am on the net,
any words beginning with n will be highlighted. its as if
the n key is stuck yet this is not the problem, can
anyone help cause its annoying.
 
What keyboard do you have? You may need to install the latest drivers
for your keyboard. Also, go to www.lavasoftusa.com and download
Ad-Aware. It is a free software program that will remove malware
(spyware, adware, etc.). You may have an odd search bar software
program installed or some weird program causing this. Also, try the
keyboard on a different computer if possible and see if the problems
occur on that computer too. If it does, it is a problem with the
keybaord and not the computer.

Done all that, logitech elite keyboard, latest drivers, i
have ad aware and virus scanners installed
nothing
 
Tried a different computer? What about the original drivers it came
with? I find it odd, but sometimes my hardware doesn't like the latest
drivers and actually works better on a couple revisions back. It is
really important to try it on a different computer as well to see if it
is at the hardware level or the software level. It seems more like a
software problem to me though. I have seen something similar to this
when doing tech support before and I fixed it by just formating and
reinstalling Windows. Never did figure out what was really causing the
problem. Tried remapping the keys, tried uninstalling the software,
uninstalling the hardware, rebooting into safemode to install the
software, and nothing worked. Must have been something off kilter in
the Registry :(
