Or is there updated BIOS firmware for your Vaio? (clutching at straws). D James, can you try another keyboard plugged into the laptop? Or is there updated BIOS firmware for your Vaio?

Here's an even odder thing though, the word 'meet' is fine... I can type it as much as I want, as quickly as I want, but the word 'green' or should I say 'gren' still shows exactly the same issue. Am still uterly perplexed, thanks for trying (which came out 'tryin' first time round) though! The only fix I have at the moment is to type more slowly!!! Sorry guys, that’s not it :(

Specifically check what's called "Filter keys" (on XP anyway...I don't have Vista) Control Panel->Accessibility Options->Filter keys (under Keyboard tab) These accessibility options have shortcut keys used to turn them on/off - on XP it's hold down right SHIFT key for eight seconds. My guess is the option to use the shortcut key is checked (which I think it could be from default install) and you've inadvertently activated the option. See if that's your issue, if not, oh well, if it is - viola! Cheers, Dave James, sounds like you may have an option under the Accessibility control panel turned on.
