Hello,
The "b" key on my laptop repeats continuously. It doesn't seem to be depresed. This only starts happening after I log into Vista.
Have ran scans with AVG, Norton, SpyBot and also tried system restore to no avail.
Any ideas how to solve this? Its making it impossible to do anything. Thanks in advance

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Sounds like crumbs, the bane of all keyboards, that and vegetable soup. If it's a desktop keyboard give it a shake, pop the key off and clean around it then pop the key back (or throw the keyboard away and buy another for a few quid) If it's a laptop you can clean under the keys with a can of air or try blowing under the key for a few minutes.
