I have a Packard Bell 286 with the following problem: Every once in a while (50-300 characters typed) a character typed at the keyboard doesn't seem to *make-it* to the PC, and instead produces an audible beep. In addition, the keyboard occasionally shifts into a mode where the SHIFT key is being held down, (types !@# instead of 123), but the shift key has not been hit, so is not physically sticking. Packard Bell Technical Support has been unable to fix the problem. They have replaced three keyboards, two motherboards, and one power supply in their *troubleshooting* efforts. In addition I have run MacAffee's Scan V77 which shows no viruses found. If anyone has any ideas as to how to fix this annoying problem, please E-mail me your suggestions/ideas. Thanks in advance, Robert Evans evans@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu
