anyways.. the problem is that when i press alt.. it opens up ms excel.. if i hold it down/press more than once it opens multiple copies.. if i press the paste key over on the side it opens ms outlook.. if i press copy..well i forgot what that one does and i dont feel like testing it, also.. if i hold down alt it will go into standby mode.. which is very annoying.
ive checked key mappings etc, and everything is fine.. its just that after the comp has been up for 6+ hours it starts messing up like this.. but if i reboot it its good for another few hours.. ..is there anything else possible other than it just being a pos dead keyboard? cause.. its really sad when you're playing d2 with friends on bnet and you press alt to look at stuff on the ground and your comp opens up 5-10 copies of excel and then goes into standby mode
and yes.. i figure the answer is probably time for a new keyboard..but.. im cheap heh

Before you buy a new keyboard, have you tried either removing the intellitype software or up[censored] it?
For drivers, complete uninstall before up[censored] is highly recommended, as in a lot of cases overwriting a older version will cause problems.
Also check if the plug is secure or clean.
If the keyboard still have problem
it's probably time to get a new one
