Keyboard Problems

I just recently purchased a new laptop and it seems that my keyboard is having problems (which is becoming a little annoying when trying to write 2000+ page essays).

When I am typing sometimes shortcuts will be in use (as though I have hit CTRL or SHIFT). I can be writing the letter T and a new tab in firefox will be created. Is there anyway to fix this?

If it's not inconvenient, why don't you use an external USB keyboard
for those massive typing tasks?

See the problem is I have to bring it to school too - so there's no way to bring around a USB keyboard.

If it's new, return it for warranty repair or replacement.

Re: Keyboard Problems

If you are just fat fingering keys like I do a lot use keytweak and just disable certain keys ? I do this for the windows hotkeys which drove me nuts.
