Numbers 0-9 repeat when I type anything, login error.
Hello all,
The problem started a few weeks ago on my wife's Lenovo Ideapad Y550 with Windows Home Premium 32 bit. We noticed that at logon the computer said that the password was in error. I checked Caps and Num locks and still got the error. So I created a password reset flash drive. When I go to the password reset screen and type in the 'hint' field, the the numbers 0123456789 repeat continually regardless of which alphabet or number key is hit.
I can reset the computer and it'll fix itself. Then I can logon.
Once it has done this while typing in quicken. I clicked on a new window and back again and the keyboard worked fine.
Things I've tried:
1. Update the driver: for some reason under keyboard properties (in admin acct.) update driver button is greyed out and cannot be selected.
2. I adjusted the language settings to enforce English at the welcome screen.
3. virus scan: I have a spy sweeper,firewall, and virus scan installed and they come up clean.
My wife said she got a message about the keyboard before this started but didn't remember what it said.
Please advise,
Thank you
