    I did restart the PC. No joy.

    What I don't understand is that whilst these tabs will open everytime I hit the backspace key, they will also open when I'm just typing, and spontaneously when the Pc is unattended.
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    It's possible that there's something wrong with the keyboard. Do you have a spare one you could try?

    No, sadly. :(

    Hmm... could this be relevant?

    Yes, it might be. But I haven't got a 'buttons' tab in the properties section when I go to the keyboard option in the control panel. :(

    It appears that it might be worth uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard driver?

    It's probably just a generic driver, so no. Is there an icon in the system tray you can use to configure the keyboard?

    No, I can't see anything like that.

    Right - time to get your hands dirty. Try this:
    1. Press B]Ctrl[/B+B]Alt[/B+B]Del[/B to start Task Manager
    2. Select the Processes tab
    3. Terminate StartEAK.exe, CPQEADM.EXE, BttnServ.exe and EAUSBKBD.EXE if present.

    Ok, I've done that. So what were those processes then? Something seems to have worked, because it's stopped doing it, for the moment at least. :)
