So last night my roommte "downoaded updates" nto my computer, and since shdid that my compuer has been skippinkeys (as you can see on this!). She said she hit a yellow shield that had popped up in the taskbar and installed updates.
I'm having to hit keys two or 3 times to make them type! Suggestions? I have run macafee, adaware, spybot. The computer is a hp pavilion and i'm running windows xp home.

I did the system restore, and it doesn't seem lie it helped too much. I' still having lots f trouble with skipped letters:(
I would try the HP site,but is it 24 hours? Also, I'm notsure the typing problem will help with live chat!
Oh, and this isn't just from a dirty keyboard or anything. It seems to be pretty randm which letters ad nuers start to skip, and I'm having trouble with my mouse "jumping" as i move itacross the screen. both the kyboard and the mouse are he ones built nto the laptop.
Thanks!

Go to hp.com in the search box put help and support chat click on chat with an online technition then there will be another box to the right type in your hp pavilion model then you got to put in your personal information then you'll be able to chat with a smart computer freak. They're really friendly and will probably commit suicide if your not satisfied. I went to them a million times and they always help.

some keys get stuck , or hard to type .It is the problem of a bad keyboard. If you doub, you can use the external keyboard ( keyboard with USB port) to verrify the problem

You can always do a system restore. "start" "all programs" "accessories" "system tools" "system restore". Pick a date in the past when your cputer worked fine and restore it back to working order.

Hmm, thats odd... i would goto the Device manager and uninstall the keyboard... reboot windows and it should re-install it automatically... see if that resolves it.
