I have this weird problem that started only recently... Sometimes when I switch to a different window or open a new window, the first keystroke I make on that window 'disappears'. ie I'll start typing something and the first letter is missing. I can't predict exactly when this is going to happen either.

The worst is when I am using a ctrl-key or alt-key command, it misses the ctrl or alt but gets the second key. ie I select a bunch of text, hit ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard, end up replacing all the text with a 'c' !!

This is really weird and just started recently. Anyone else seen anything like this?
My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad T21 w/ Windows 2000. Thanks.
