OK this is seriously weird and I would love to get some ideas on any possible fixes.
My system: iMac 333 running 8.6 Word 97 and OE 5.02. 160 Mb RAM The problem: When typing text in an email document suddenly a random letter will just start repeating rapidly like this >gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg etc etc. The only way to stop it is to turn the machine off at the power plug. I have tried ctrl apple esc but no effect. Nor do the power buttons on the machine respond. Each time it is a different letter. On rebooting the machine sends in the crash recovery program. It is intermittent and unpredictable. I can go for several days, no problem, then crash. It is definitely not a key sticking or a physical keyboard problem - it seems fine. The same problem has started happening in Word as well. Again, not every time. Also I am not using any fancy macros or tables, just plain old text. Usually in new documents (unsaved) and less than one page of text. I have thought about searching the archives but I don't even know what to call this thing - "going crazy"!! Has this problem got a name? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks Bill
