For the last few weeks, I've had an intermittent problem which seems to be getting worse. For most of my emails and serious typing of docs etc, I use a 10 year old Desktop PC with Windows XP Pro. I can be typing away and without warning, the lower case changes to upper case, as if I'd put caps lock on. I then have to put the caps lock on to continue typing in lower case and vice-versa for upper case. Sometimes, it fixes itself almost immediately and other times, I have to shut the program down (Gmail, Word etc) and re-start it. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. It almost certainly isn't the keyboard itself as I've tried 2 different ones with the same result.
It's not a show-stopper but is bloody irritating. I have an iPad as well and my wife has a good laptop. The desktop computer doesn't owe me anything and is probably way past the date when I should have junked it but it fits the bill fine for emails and word-processing. I'd sooner keep it but if it's going to take money to fix, I'd sooner have done with it and get an up to date one.
Would be grateful for any ideas if anyone else has experienced this problem.
Cheers,
Geoff
