Hi, Jrz.

There are many possible factors and you've given us NOTHING to work with.
:>(

Which version of Vista? Make and model keyboard? What driver? Any other
keyboard software, such as IntelliType? Which version of that? Is the
keyboard wireless? Have you downloaded the latest drivers from the
manufacturer's website?

Several of us have experienced episodes of a "stuck" Ctrl or Alt key,
producing a <Ctrl>+<C> when we meant just "C", for example. And my
Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v.3.0 often seems to just DIE for a
minute or so, often right in the middle of a word. And it often produces
"IF" when I'm sure I typed "If", as though I didn't release the Shift key
quickly enough, but I'm too good a typist to make that mistake that often.

There are settings in Control Panel that you can adjust to fit your typing
speed. Only you can tell if there is enough control available there to do
you any good.

Until you tell us more about your computer and keyboard, that's about all we
can tell you.
