Missing letters when typing!!
I have a brand new Vaio Latop Model # VGN-N250E with an Intellipoint
Wireless Mouse 4000. When on the net (only) works fine when not on the internet , I type as I normally would and miss seveeral letters, space bar doesnt work, even when pounding on keys. I have Windows Vista! HELP Can I disable my touch pad, I dont use it very often, but will likely need to enable it so that needs to be possible as well. |

To disable your touchpad, use the VAIO Control Center, or click on

You have a "brand new" defective Vaio keyboard or a key is stuck down. Pounding on the keyboard probably voided your warranty and possibly caused additional damage to the components located beneath (Laptop keyboards are very thin). I have seen (other brand) keypads fail because of heavy handed usage found a weak spot in the key trace layout and caused it to fail after many repeated heavy key strokes on a particular key (cut through the trace), a layout change fixed this. |

Since this is a new computer have you contacted the tech support for it? If the hardware is not working they should fix it. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

I am having the same problem with my desktop and laptop. My laptop is brand
new (Toshiba M400 tablet). My desktop worked fine on XP until I installed Vista. I did noticed however that it seems to worsen in the afternoon as it gets warmer. First I thought it was my keyboard so it gave me a reason to go and buy the gyration Media Center and PC Universal Remote but the same thing occurred. The mouse works great but the keyboard still has the same problem. I tried using in a microsoft wireless keyboard on my laptop with no resolutions. Now, I am convince it's a Vista issue. I am glad I am not the only one having this problem. I hope Microsoft find this problem and fix it.

I have just found something on the web and hope it will help you. It seems
to helped me. Did you noticed that the missing letters occured when you are using yahoo mail beta? If this is the case then turn off your chat in the new Yahoo Mail and that should fix it. To turn off the new chat facility in Yahoo Beta. Go to top of screen, click on arrow next to yellow smiley face, then turn off chat. Your typing should now be much better.
