My computer is freaking out! Please Help!

[Guest]

Hello,
I have Winows XP Meia Center Edition and I'm having problems. . .
Every once in a while it will go on stanby and when I turn it off stanby it
says "Computer locked only admin may unlock it" or something an it has a
place for me to enter my name an password, now entering a passwor is easier
sai than done. When I type a letter, for example I, It doesn't type 'I' it
types 'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" an continues to do so
until I press delete.
Now when I finally get the password in by typing really quckly it turns on
and it goes really slowly an when I click on Internet explorer it opens up
like 50 different windows.
These are only some of the problems, does anyone know whats going on?

It is probably your Keyboard repeat rate setting.

Open Control Panel - Keyboard and drag the slider for the Repeat rate
to the middle of the scale. It is probably all the way to the right
side.

Good luck
