Cannot input certain keystrokes when leaving PC up over night.

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I'm using Windows XP, SP2 and the oddest thing. After leaving the PC up for
awhile I lose the ability to input certain keystrokes into fields. The keys
are THCS to name a few. I am not able to type them into browser fields,
excel fields etc. If I bring up notepad they type fine. I usually end up
rebooting. I've scanned high and low for viruses and trojans, nothing. Has
anyone seen anything this bizarre. Its quite annoying.

Does the behavior persist if you use another keyboard?

Does the machine Hibernate or enter Standby when you leaving it up & running
overnight?

You posted in a Security-specific newsgroup. Are you seeing other
unwanted/unusual behavior that leads you to suspect the machine is infected?

Sounds like "no resource" bug. Remeber, what did you install recently? If it
is some software that intalls drivers that might be a bug of memory leaking,
that caused misbihaviour of keyboard driver.
