    never heard of this before, when I sign on to internet exp 11 in the search box
    and www. box all I get is 7's and iam not even touching anything. it looks like this. 7777777777777777777777777777777. then things start popping up. and iam not even touching anything. I thought its a virus so I formatred the hard drive. reinstalled op and the same thing. so I tried another computer. that took care of it. but does anybody know what might be causing it. the computer isn't very old.

    Hi bebuzz68. Have you tried using a different keyboard? Perhaps the number 7 on the keyboard was stuck which was why the computer was repeating the number 7 over and over again without any user input from you.

    Hi bebuzz68, This is obviously not the Tablet in your System Details. Tell us what the comp is you are dealing with-it will help.
    I go along with Evan on possible faulty keyboard. Neil.

    Hi bebuzz68, You're using a comp and the keyboard works OK and you don't get 7's repeating?
    Your 1st comp uses the same keyboard? and you get 7's all the time?
    What OS's are the comps using?
    It pays to give us as much info as possible. Thanks Neil.

    You may have faulty hardware or loose connections or dust/dirt causing the problem. I would suggest a thorough clean of the inside of the comp with care to ensure ALL connections are clean and secure.
    Let's know if the fault continues. Neil.
