Windows Key / Start button Repeating

P

Pancho

I'm running W2K Sp3 and while typing, say an email, the
start button will begin to flash as if it's being pressed
several times in a row, even though it was not pressed.
When it finally stops, if I hit the "U" key alone the
system brings up the Utility Manager. This is really
annoying. Any suggestions???

Go to Control Panel and open Accessibility Options. Make sure you don't have
any of them turned on.

Thanks for the reply. The boxes under the Accessibility
Options for Keyboard are not checked. The problem is
intermittant whether the keyboard is being used or not.
I've tried to even do a search in the Knowledge Base, but
couldn't find any help. Any other suggestions?
