I was checking and re-writing a Word document using Win 7 Pro. For no reason that I can recall the cursor went wild even though I wasn’t touching the keyboard, or even any part of the machine. Static? Maybe! Programs that were minimized to the Task Bar were popping up on screen in quick succession. After about a minute the show stopped, everything looked normal, just one of those things? Well not quite. When I opened the document to continue editing the very first key I hit was ‘e’; to my surprise Windows Explorer opened. Closed it, hit e again and got Explorer again. Closed it, again, and tried other keys. r brought up the Run window; d closed the window leaving a blank screen. I re-booted; no change. Tried Notepad, no difference.
So now comes the easy bit. In its hurtling around the screen the cursor must have triggered a key combination that changed these keys from text input to shortcut keys. Can someone please tell me how to reverse this situation?
