Default 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?

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

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

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

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

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

A restore is:

Start
programs
accessories
system tools

Southwell, it still does it in safe mode?

Is it the key sticking? Any fix for it?

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.
