Am not real sure where is the right forum to post this... so guess I"ll start here.
I have a newer Dell Studio. My keyboard started skipping about 2 days ago. Can I run the "Drivers and Utilites" disk that came with the system ? or even the Operating System disk ?

Did you spill anything on the keyboard? Did you change any keyboard/mouse settings? What keys are sticking? If not, return it.

If you are using a usb keyboard, try a different USB port.

I had a similar problem recently, changed ports, it worked fine.

Elaborating on that if its wireless maybe the batteries are dead. Weak power can cause havoc.

Try a different key board in a different port. If that still doesn't work I would say main board problems.

If wireless, check to see if there is clear path between transmitter and keyboard. I had a problem with my wireless mouse/keyboard not having a clear path. It had a transmitter that plugs into a usb port. I corrected this by putting the transmitter on a usb extension cable and placed it near the mouse/keyboard. It corrected the problem. My mouse mainly had the problem, but I had some sticky keys on the board. It took care of that also. Hope this helps.
