Hey, i need help:

Sometimes, for no particular reason, my keyboard starts to type letters in uppercase. When i activate the caps lock, it starts to type in lowercase. After reboot everthing is fine.

I thought it was a keyboard issue, and even replaces my keyboard with another one, but the problem appeard again after some time...

Nothing terrible, in fact, but quite annoying sometimes...

Any ideas? thanks.

I'm running WinXP Pro SP3

What's the make and model number of your computer?

You could try reinstalling the keyboard software.

Hm. What is keyboard software?

I didn't install any, it's just a regular PS\2 keyboard.

Go through the control panel>accessibility options and look at the keyboard setting to make sure sure that you don't have "sticky keys" enabled.
