PC problems
 
I'm having a problem on my home laptop - this is what happened:

Some guy from work sent a document that needed a .net something or other to view it, so I downloaded and installed it last night.

Today it starts going off it's tits. Keys on the keyboard not working, start menu popping up and closing like it's on crack.

I uninstalled the .net crap and re-booted.

Then some keys on the kb started working again, but the start menu is still going off it's tits!

Run a full scan with AVG - found nothing.

Any ideas?

Start it up and unplug your keyboard, does it still do it?

Northy 02-10-2008 08:17 PM

It's the built in keyboard :(

Keys like 'e' 'r' and 't' don't type the letters, they are opening up windows and stuff as if there is like a function button or something pressed :(

e brings up my computer
r brings up run
t just doesn't do anything

Sorry, didn't read laptop lol. Start it up, hit f8 a few times, go into safe mode and restor it to yesterday if you can.

EDIT

Does f do find?

possible your .net framework didn't install properly, where did you download it from?

Northy 02-10-2008 08:22 PM

No, f does nothing - type the letter f or do find.

Should I do the whole f8 thing?
How do I do a restore?

Sounds like your windows key is sticking? windows key and those do what you say on any pc.

From wherever it downloaded it from when I clicked on the document I got sent :(

Start it in safe mode and see if it still does those things.

A restore is:

Start
programs
accessories
system tools

Northy 02-10-2008 08:34 PM

Southwell, it still does it in safe mode? :(

Is it the key sticking? Any fix for it?

G

Southwell 02-10-2008 08:37 PM

Tap it a few times? I have had laptops do it before, with it always being the keyboard. Although it seems funny how it just happened on that install. I would try a restore first.

Northy 02-10-2008 08:40 PM

I just twat'ed it a load of times and it seems to be working in safe mode now, I'll reboot and see what happens in std mode :thumbsup:

Southwell 02-10-2008 08:43 PM
