  1. Unwanted auto fill of letters, numbers and characters


    After 10 -15 minutes into work on either a Word document or an XL spreadsheet I get random characters populating whatever I am working on. I have just run a scan to make sure I don't have any malware. Please help if you can.

    :)

    NumLock Turns Letters Into Numbers on Desktop Computer

    I had the same problem, it seems that it happens only with several keyboards.
    Finally I solved it this way (sorry, but I've got Polish language set):


    Now find something like "Standard keyboard device" on the drivers list, install it (click Yes in the compatibility warning window) and check if keyboard is still working.

    If so - reboot Your computer and enjoy fixed keyboard without letters turning into numbers.<br>
    If not - revert driver back and try another one.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    First letter of sentence not auto capitalizing

    Mine auto-corrects to "don't". It might have been added to the dictionary on accident. But it looks like to remove added words from the dictionary, it is an all or nothing type deal.

    You can go to Settings > Keyboard > Typing Settings and hit "Reset Suggestions"

    This will clear out all the user added suggestions/auto-corrects (going back to the default suggestions/auto-corrects).

    It kind of sucks that you can't get a listing of added suggestions/auto-corrects and remove single entries, but oh well.

    Hope that helps.
