    Hello,
    New to this game!

    When i'm trying to type, certain letters make task box's appear. Such as the letter E makes the 'my computer' page come up and typing the letter L prompts me to log off the computer!!
    There are many more and they're driving me nuts. Can anyone help.
    The only temporary cure is to press ctrl alt del, to bring up the task manager, then click out of it, several times. This eleviates the problem for a while, but it returns!!!!!

    I'm not sure how this happened but those are some of the short cuts for Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType. I have the same keyboard and I only access the short cuts by pressing the windows key along with the letter. Can you uninstall the drivers for the keyboard and re install them.

    I jumped ahead of myself.
    Are you using this type of keyboard.
    Have you plugged in another keyboard to see if you get the same results.

    gimpster123 Bring out the Gimp.

    Is your windows (flag) key is stuck? try pressing it a few times.

    Edit: these commands are not unique to the above mentioned keyboard- they are default windows shortcuts, for example windows + L logs you off.

    The only reason I said that was my keyboard instructions manual pointed it out to me.
