[Peegee]

did you press the insert key again, bort? :p

[escobert]

no that's only when I talk to you *insert key*

Windows does randomly do that, try turning off all the windows help and assesibity features relating to text in Control Panel :D

Are you typing on a laptop? A lot of people have touchpads on their laptops down by where they rest their wrists so when they type it moves the mouse cursor on them and does funny things.

[escobert]

no I checked that and even if I don't touch the pad it still does it.

Actually, I find it happens more often for me in a VNC session :p

VNC isn't great for mouse-usage.

Escobar, try a different keyboard and mouse, and/or try your keyboard and mouse on some other computer. If you still have the problem, then, well, reinstall Windows.

VNC + mouse works great if you've got a good link speed to the other machine though, and are using version 4+ with the shell hooks installed on the server (probably Windows only, I'd guess) - huge improvement in responsiveness and precision and such over 3.x :p

I would but, it's a laptop.

Change the sensitivity of the touchpad with whatever software the manufacturer provided, to try and reduce it happenning if it is due to your hand accidently brushing it while typing :p

[escobert]

No it's not that. I make sure I don't touch the pad and it still does.

Laptops have ports to plug in peripherals don't they? Some do, anyways.
