keyboard acting weird

[flankker]

hi guys. my keyboard or mouse is acting crazy. on windows im using opera, for example, and outlook express magically opens itself, or if i am in word letters get typed magically. even in ubuntu, sometimes all of a sudden the calculator program will appear, or the right click menu will come up. all of this with me NOT TOUCHING THE KEYBOARD OR MOUSE AT ALL.

i have no idea what it can be, im on a latop btw. i think the problem appeared a couple of months ago. is it a hardware program or something?

any help would be appreciated, it is seriously annoying

are you using a wireless keyboard/mouse? Could be interference causing strange keystrokes to be seen

im using the laptop keyboard and a wireless mouse. i see what u mean but what can be interfering with the wireless mouse?

first thing would be to use a wired mouse to see if it it is ok as it may not be the wireless mouse that is the problem. If the wired mouse fixes the problem then try a different wireless mouse and the one you have may just be faulty. Interference could be caused by a number of things
