I have never heard of this problem and I cant find a mention of it when I try to google it. When I try to use yahoo messenger, all that I can type are numbers. They are in sequence... If I try to type They are in sequence it comes up like...0123 456 78 90123456. Now it does the same thing on log in. I have uninstalled it twice and reinstalled it and it only happens in chat. Are there any suggestions or do I need to go to another forum.
The problem could be within the keyboard itself. Have you tried plugging in a different keyboard to see if the issue still persists? Also, make sure your keyboard layout is set correctly for your type of keyboard.
This is a laptop.. so how could I check to see if it is correctly set up and how could i use another key board to do anything? It only does this in chat especially yahooo messenger.
Most older laptops could have a PS/2 port for keyboards, and a mouse. If it don't then you can always try and find a USB port keyboard, and plug it in. It should work.
I have uninstalled messenger twice. And it is a new Lenovo laptop. It makes no sense at all that it only occurs in a chat.
Okay, after some more searching, I'm getting a lot of Google hits of issues like this on Lenovo laptops. The root of the problem is some anti-keylogger software they have installed on your system.
Try these steps:
1. Run "msconfig.exe"
2. Click the "startup" tab
3. If "GID Desktop Application" is listed, UNCHECK it.
Recie.. your suggestion fixed the problem. Thank you and other members for your help.
Racie I was having the same problem thank you!
