    I have a MS Internet Navigator Pro keyboard and I'm running Windows 98.

    Just recently it started opening up the WIN key shortcuts without me pressing it. For example, when I type E, F and R the Eplorer, Find and Run windows come up respectively. Just as though I was pressing WIN+<shortcut key>. I'm now using my old keyboard and everything works ok. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank You

    Clean the garbage out ogf your keyboard. Especially your Win key. Make sure your accessibility options are turned off for sticky "keys ".

    If Accessibility is installed it appears in the control panel and Sticky keys is part of it.

    I think your problem is a sticky Win key. Turn your keyboard upside down and smack the bottom then blow it out with air if you have compressed air.:)

    In that case, look carefully in your keyboard software for an option for the Win Key. Was it doing it with the old keyboard?
