I'am having a serious problem w+ith my keyboard for the past 3 days. The problem is whenever I type a no. or a letter '+' sign appears and continue to appearing like this '+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++' till it blows my head. So, I want to ask you all. Does anyone of you experienced this kind of problem before? Can you tell me how to resolve it?

Also. another strange thing is that the key meant for real '+' sign sybol w+hich is right located with num-pad is not working. Furthermore, what I have observed that when it works the problems stops? So, I can't figure out how make it w+ork?

It is really annoying and strange problem on your computer. You should try another keyboard on your computer to isolate the cause of this problem.
If the other keyboard does not have the same problem, it means the problem is due to the keyboard hardware and if the other keyboard also have the same problem, I would suggest you to format the computer to easily get rid of this problem.
If you can not get another keyboard to check on your computer, you can use this keyboard on your friends computer and check if it works fine.
Which operating system is installed on your computer?

Oh, that was really quick!!!
I would suggest you to try using the virtual keyboard in Windows XP and check if the problem with the keys persist.
Use this URL to launch the virtual keyboard on your screen:
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/oskturnonuse.mspx
Alternatively, I would suggest you to try downloading and installing the Ubuntu operating system on your computer. You can install it just like any other application. I mean, the way you install MS Office, PDF reader or any game etc.
Once Ubuntu is installed, you will get two operating systems in the list when your computer starts. Choose Ubuntu at the startup screen, once you have logged in, try to type in the text editor and check if the keyboard is working fine.
If you wish to un-install Ubuntu at any point of time, start your computer with Windows XP OS and then go to "Add or Remove programs" window and remove "Ubuntu" from the list, just like you un-install any other installed application.
Ubuntu is free version of Linux and it has got very good user interface, you will not have problems in using Ubuntu.
Use this URL for downloading Ubuntu:
www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

Is it the same ++++++++++ regardless of what programme you're typing in??
Or is it only in say an i nternet browser or document?

Sorry then, I'm really puzzled.
Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Also try updating/reinstalling your keyboard drivers.
Good luck.
