I have installed Windows XP professional corp edition on
my custom built work computer. When I press certain keys
on the keyboard it halts my computer. I first noticed
this because the sound would skip/repeat/scratch. I
check for hardware conflicts and made sure they were on
different IRQ's. I have tried using a different
keyboard. Is there anything else to do? I've even moved
my sound card to a different PCI slot. The computer
completely stops when I hold in a key and returns to
normal when I let the key out. This keeps me from being
able to do anything while typing. I'm not sure what else
to do.
 
Jimmy, did you build your computer? If so, I would check in the Case
around or under the motherboard area for any loose
screws or washers.
 
Are you aware of what _corp edition_ signifies?????
