Hitting the "T" key makes Windows Help appear

[c***@unlisted.com]

This is most annoying. about once every half hour of typing, the
Windows Help screen appears in Win98se. It always happens when I hit
a T key. (cap or lower case). This does not happen everytime I hit a
T, just on occasion. What is the problem? How do I fix?
Is there a way to determine ALL the shortcut key combinations that are
on a computer?

Thanks

Carl

I would try a different keyboard first, as much different
as you can find. It could be a glitch in the old one.

If that doesn't show up a rogue hotkey assignment, I'd guess a slightly
faulty keyboard, such that the F1 key and the T key are getting
connected in some way - sometimes, so suggests dirt or a loose
connection. (I know the two keys are a long way apart, but most
keyboards are wired in a matrix.)

First thing to try would be another keyboard - even if it's a laptop,
they can still use external keyboards. This will _probably_ prove it one
way or another - though it may just show a typing mannerism of yours;
I've often suspected certain odd things that happen are due to ways I
type! (Use of a different keyboard might stop you doing whatever you
are.) If the keyboard is identical in shape, that won't be the case.

If it _does_ turn out to be the keyboard, then unless it's expensive or
unusual, just get a new one. If it is e/u (such as a laptop one), a
thorough clean is in order - you'd be amazed what gets into them!

at last.. try a mouse-keyboard,
I use this as well in W98SE for foreign languages or
even when I use W98Se as VM on a Mac...
So you can work out, if it's a keyborad or a hotkey problem...
