I suspect a hardware problem with the keyboard. I would first test with another keyboard, a laptop should accept a USB keyboard. You could also test with the onscreen keyboard that you can find in "Control Panel".

Laptop keyboards can often replaced with one found on Ebay. Just be sure to find the EXACT replacement procedure before you start removing screws.

Good Luck

Thanks for your help.. I had replaced the keyboard but still had problems..Appears to be the sensitivity of the laptop itself, near the pad...Have had that pad part disconnected, as I usually only use the mouse...

Had the same problem. Solved it by hitting the NUM LK/SCRN LK key.
