Yes, JMacCraw,
I'll run the "access.cpl" and recheck the kbd with any tools I have for
sticky key. Have not seen any yet.
But, I may have stumbled on the problem. When I installed a SwitchView KVM
for my 2 "back-house" systems (3 months ago), I do recall that the PS/2-USB
adapter was tough to plug into the KVM switch' mouse port. I removed the
adapter and swapped it with one from a Logitech mouse I use for backup. So
far so good. No more odd mouse behavior.
Suspect that the green plastic barrel just behind the PS/2 plug of the
suspect adapter is just a bit too large in diameter. This causes it to
interfer with the mouse port of the KVM switch. Might have backed out and
was being oddly intermittent. I'll confirm later tonite with a
micrometer. And, if the glitch comes back on the XP client, I'll connect
the mouse direct to the PC to eliminate the KVM entirely.
For now, the odd mouse glitch in XP seems to have gone away.
Thanks for all you suggestions..... I'm still freaked about the "stuck
Shift-key" suggestion! Gonna be testing my spare kbds tonite too!
Best,
Duncan

Or possibly the access feature "sticky keys".
Run "access.cpl" & uncheck all the "Keyboard" "Use
..." options.
