Shortcuts refuse to open, can't type...
I have windows 7. I'm getting odd behaviour from my machine. I can only type in search boxes intermittently, other times when I press a letter the shortcut droplist comes on---"F" is find and so on. Only light on my keyboard is Num Lock, so I don't think it's a keyboard issue.
When I left click shortcut to open IE(or any program), I get the, "do you want this program to make changes..." message, or I get the shortcut properties box, and if I move a shortcut, it makes a copy---"Computer 2." I hope I've articulated the trouble well enough.
I have no idea how to resolve this. I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials today, and it found no viruses. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
