Yeah, a virus playing a practical joke or a keylogger with a defective side effect
sound likely. But there's another.
I just spent a miserable week after I reloaded Win98 and I kept getting freezes.
Sometimes the mouse operations seemed to go crazy. I have a graph tablet in parallel
and I loaded in WinME enhancements. I spent a week working with drivers, manuals,
device conflicts and whenever the problem seemed to have been solved, it would come
back after a while. This morning it started very quickly. In rage I slapped the
mouse down once and the cursor was back to normal for a time. Then I realized that
if jarring the (optical) mouse had an effect at all, it was simply a defective mouse.
$12 + tax later at one of my local computer discounters and there was no more problem.
I had never heard of an optical mouse wearing out before.
So I wonder if Ceci's keyboard is simply going bad. That shouldn't take more than
$15 for a new one or $6 for a used keyboard at a thrift shop. I have often heard
(or experienced) keyboards starting to malfunction. If one of the data lines is
failing to send its bit, that would fit Ceci's description of looking encrypted.
Ceci will tell us what the symptoms fit.
