Keystroke commands

I seem to be activating keystroke commands without knowing it. In almost any
program (running Vista) I can lose all data typed by hitting a few keys -
still haven't figured out what they are. Also, Tab key now tabs thru open
programs, not thru the document on screen I am on. As I type, cursor moves
to another place in the document. Does anyone know where I can view
keystroke commands that I apparently set up without meaning to. thanks.

RE: Keystroke commands

You really need to test your keyboard. Get another, or use the 'on screen'
keyboard in 'ease of access' to see if that still happens. You are probably
getting a stuck alt key.
One funny way to fix that is to turn the keyboard over, and pat it on the
back, or use a vacume cleamner, or can of air to blow out what is making the
alt key stick.
