HP Pavillion g6, bought 1 week ago, Windows 7 64-bit

Without appearing to be pressing anything on the keyboard myself the keyboard will stop typing letters and will only command functions in any program. For example if I am on the internet and type n, a new tab is opened and if I type p, the printer options come up. The problem is resolved upon restarting the computer. This has happpened twice now and I have owned the computer for one week.

Hi, just wondering if you have had any luck resolving this problem. I have the same laptop - had it for about a fortnight and am having exactly the same problem.

Hi, haven't found any way to solve the issue but, touch wood, it hasn't happened since I made the post. Are you still having the problem?

Hi,

By holding in Control (CTRL), typing will result in commands. Make sure (both!) your CTRL keys aren't being held in. Sometimes mine get stuck and it first it confused me. If you're sure they're not stuck I'm really not sure what could be causing your keyboard to follow commands instead of typing.

Good Luck!
