For some reason, the ALT key and the Windows key gets "jammed" on my
keyboard...the key isn't depressed, but the computer acts as if it is
depressed. If, when you hit tab it jumps to another screen, just pound on
the ALT key a few times, and the problem will probably go away. Sometimes
the Windows key does the same thing, just hit it a few times, and that
problem will subside.

Hopefully this will work. Takes a lot less time than a system restart.

> Now as to what exactly caused it I don't know I do know this that Dave(my
Boss) did a restart and that for now it has disappeared. So I don't know now
what caused it or if it will happen agian . I gave him a air can and told
him to carefully blow clean his keybord . I don't know if that will help but
with all the crap that blew out of it , it doesn't make me think it would
hurt any.
