I just got a new Dell Laptop with Windows 7 Home. Any time I am typing, random windows open. It doesn't seem to be your normal keyboard shortcuts as it only takes typing one letter to make it happen. For instance, H opens history, T opens a new tab, P opens printers and so on and so on. Something I press causes my window to close and something makes a duplicate window open. Why is it doing this? I can't have these things happening when I am simply trying to type. I can't seem to make a connection on when it does it as opposed to when it doesn't. I just know it does it at some point every time I am typing. It's driving me crazy!!! Thanks for your help.
