The ENTER key problem

There seem to be numerous people (only one on this newsgroup recently) who
have a problem with their Enter/Return key. This is beginning to look like a
software problem NOT a keyboard fault. If you are one of these people try
using the other Enter key on the numeric
key pad. If that also gives you problems then it probably isn't the switch
contacts in your keyboard.

A web search reveals this problem is being reported elsewhere as well.....

That last one says ...

"I removed the last secruity update for XP and my enter key started working
again.
Thursday, February 12, 2004 Security Update for Windows XP (KB828028) "

But I don't work for Microsoft so I can't comment recommend this as a
solution.

I found that that patch adversely affected my Internet connectivity so I
removed it. Internet connectivity now back to normal!
