Intermittent Keyboard Problems

At work this morning, browsing the internet (IE), my keyboard stopped "inserting," then became entirely nonfunctional. We rebooted and encountered the same problem.

We switched out keyboards and same thing, intermittently, the keyboard would become nonfunctional.

Switched to a third keyboard and thought all was well until the afternoon when, once again, the "insert" mode would not work (in MS Word, Outlook, and in google search box).

I got around it in MS Word and Outlook by typing returns where I wanted to insert characters, inserting characters, and then deleting the returns.

Maybe tomorrow after my computer has a nap it will be in a better mood?

Any idea what happened or how I can troubleshoot this if it happens again tomorrow?

Sounds to me like you might have a loose keyboard port (hardware problem). Have you checked it?

Problem went away. Not sure how. . .
The problem with problems that disappear without your knowing why is that they often return. If it does, remember to check the keyboard port.

You should also mark this thread as "Solved".
