"Avoid Windows 8! I had the trial version and purchased the upgrade on line, After an entire day trying to find problems, I finally got it working. Then today, I was doing a search on Bing and Windows started to place a B when ?I typed a letter. And added an h before selected words. I rebooted thinking it was a short cut error. Now I can't log in! When I type my password, it puts the CAPS LOCK on when I type the number 1. And I cannot undo it, What a POS operating system."

I just did the same thing, and didn't have any problems. In the future try to use these things called help forums instead of screaming that it's the OSs fault. 99.9% of the time it isn't. Geesh some people when it comes to Windows are like a Dem constituency group. Always looking to be POd.

Further - diagnosing this issue as a “hardware” problem is WAY to early! Note - it isn’t a hardware problem when the software drivers aren’t compatible!

I also like the idea of using an Ubuntu CDROM to boot and see if it behaves. That is a pretty good test for hardware/software issues.

If it IS a software driver - it could ALSO be the Hard disk! What he was seeing could easily be the hard disk eating files! The fact that he is seeing funny echoes could mean the software isn’t sane, thus the disk is supplying bad program code!
