Is Vista the new “ME”?

I thought it was the new “BOB”.

I'm pretty sure that the keyboard is not at issue due to the consistency of the issue while it's happening (if it happens soon I'll pick up the keyboard and give it a shake). The magnetic fields theory is interesting since I already believe I have such an issue which prompted me to move back to a wired from a wireless mouse. Considering I've gone and installed Ubuntu on my laptop I'm sure you'll see my adherence allegiance to Windows is fading somewhat...<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('7966','Marc'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('7966','Marc','Hey King, That\'s a good point about switching the keyboard, just for some basic troubleshooting if for no other reason.\r\n\r\nI\'m pretty sure that the keyboard is not at issue due to the consistency of the issue while it\'s happening (if it happens soon I\'ll pick up the keyboard and give it a shake). \r\n\r\nThe magnetic fields theory is interesting since I already believe I have such an issue which prompted me to move back to a wired from a wireless mouse.\r\n\r\nConsidering I\'ve gone and installed Ubuntu on my laptop I\'m sure you\'ll see my adherence allegiance to Windows is fading somewhat...'); return false;">Quote</a></div> Hey King, That’s a good point about switching the keyboard, just for some basic troubleshooting if for no other reason.

I’m pretty sure that the keyboard is not at issue due to the consistency of the issue while it’s happening (if it happens soon I’ll pick up the keyboard and give it a shake).

The magnetic fields theory is interesting since I already believe I have such an issue which prompted me to move back to a wired from a wireless mouse.

Considering I’ve gone and installed Ubuntu on my laptop I’m sure you’ll see my adherence allegiance to Windows is fading somewhat…

Hopefully Windows 7 will have caught up to WARP. Seriously... have you tried switching the keyboard? A few years ago, I spilled some water into my keyboard. I let it dry out well before using it again, and it 'mostly worked', but strange things (similar to what you described) started happening. As I recall it was more random focus changes, missed/extra characters, random capitialization I was getting, but I'm not sure even what operating system I was on at that time. On a similar lines, any magnetic fields near the keyboard, or motherboard that could be interfering with the signal leaving your keybaord? I know, here I am almost defending Windoze. Perhaps I spilled some water into my ears!?!?!?><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('7965','King'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('7965','King','No Marc, everyone else in the world has enought sence to run OS\/2.
