Keyboard problems

[IT_Consultant]

I have an odd issue going on with my laptop and Outlook 2003. When I hit
certain keys on the keyboard, Things happen that I dont want. For instance,
if I have Outlook open and I'm not in the process of reading or writing an
email, and I certain letters on the keyboard, it changes my view. If I'm
writing an email and I hit certain keys, the email will be sent. I'm not
using Outlook shortcuts. I'm just hitting the keys themselves.

You probably have a stuck CTRL or ALT key then. Clean the keyboard (blowing
really hard usually helps to get some dirt from underneath the keys) and try
again.

It's not the keyboard. I plugged a USB keyboard into the laptop and I have
the same problem. I tried restoring the laptop back a month but that didn't
work. It's really odd. If I hit the letter t, it's like hitting the END
key. If I hit it again it brings me back up to the top (HOME Key)

And that is when composing a message?
Does it occur in any other program as well?
Have you verified that you have the correct keyboard layout and language
installed?

No. When Composing messages, hitting random keys causes the email to be sent
unfinished. The problem I described below occurs when I don't have an email
open.
If I just have outlook open, hitting the letter T or H rearranges the
current view. I've checked the keyboard settings, layout, and language. The
only language installed is English. I've restored the PC back a month to
before I installed Virtual PC 2007 thinking that may have been the issue, but
it wasn't.
