Keyboard question

We just got a new D ell XPS and my 1 5 month old son banged
on some keys just as I was a bout to shut it down. Now , the
key board is stuck on what I'd like to call " fast typer mode " (
which I am not THAT fast ) . The computer automa tically takes a
space when ev er I pause from typing -- even for a brief second, as you can
see here in this post . I'm sure this feature is great for those who do
a lot of typing and don't make ma ny mista kes. HOwe ver, since this is
just a home computer used for our family stuff , we really need to
figure out how to turn this f eat ure off. C an anyone help me ??

Thank you ,

Re: Keyboard question

It sounds like physical damage to the keyboard. See if the space bar is
stuck (if you can fiddle with it and free it up). Your best bet is probably
to just replace it.
