Netropa is a maker of keyboards which feature "smart keys" to open popular applications (like those in Microsoft Office) and open and browse web pages.\n\nThe software you installed must have included Netropa's software for their keybords.  So don't worry, just uninstall the software.\n\nGo to Start menu --> All programs --> Netropa --> Uninstall.\n\nIf this is not there or doesn't work, try:\n\nStart --> Control Panel -- > Add and remove programs.\n\nIn the list, look for Smart Office Keyboard, and click on Change/Remove.\n\nHope this helps.

Are you sure that you can't carry your USB security device back and forth between home and office? Sometimes these devices are locked to a single computer, but often they're not.\n\nIf that doesn't help, there are ways around everything, hacking the license would cost you more than the $2000 license, and the company that's making the software knows it. Their security scheme is almost certainly secure enough to make your attack unprofitable.\n\nYour best option is to explain your situation to the software company and see what they are willing to do. Many companies will sell a license that allows you to run a single license on multiple computers (but not simultaneously). It would probably be more expensive than the single-seat license, but not as expensive as two seats.

A G3 isn't exactly the lastest in computer technology.  Your processor is about what 700/800MHz right? and I think they have about 32/64MB of RAM so the applications you have installed could really be killing you processing power.  Despite all that though, the slow typing is a syptom of something much bigger than just a few applications hogging your resources since it doesn't take much processing power to output to screen.  You most likely have a ton of spyware on your system that's sending nformation all over the net about you and your machine and your kids.  The best way to remove this is an antivirus program with spyware checkers (most of them have that now) or you can get a dedicated spyware checker like ad-aware but I'll prefer the antivirus so that you could scan for viruses as well.  Most big name developers like Norton and McAfee have versions for both Mac OS and Windows and I'm pretty sure Apple have it's own antivirus program on thier site or some patches or something so you shouldn't have to much trouble locating one.

There is probably someone trolling this forum right now instead of answering the phone like they are supposed to.  \n\nI have a small footprint flexible usb keyboard (it's rubber) that would make a fine temporary replacement.  \n\nGot it at CompUSA. \n\nIt's not perfect, but it beats not having a laptop.

Hi,\n\nI think you are using USB Mouse and Keyboard. If yes, you must have multiple USB ports. They mostly come in pairs. This happens and I have seen in more than 50% of the cases the customer is using a USB Hub. Try removing the USB Hub from the configuration and see if it works fine or not.\n\nAlso, you could get the latest drivers for your mouse and keyboard from the vendor's website and install them. Also, try reinstalling the drivers for your modem and/or try to install the latest drivers, always. Also, make sure you have the latest Windows updates. Also, the latest Service pack should always be installed.\n\nIf you need any extra help regarding getting the drivers from internet, be my guest. Ping me with the model numbers and I would be more than happy to help you out further.\n\n\nHope this helps!\n\n\nThanks,\nManish

It monitors your keyboard so you can use the keyboard shortcuts to operate the media player even when you're using another program. Nothing wrong with that, don't bother if you don't use the keyboard shortcuts.

Without being very competent with computers, it's hard to be *sure* whether there is a keylogger installed. Press Control+Alt+delete, click on Task Manager, and look at the processes whose user name is not SYSTEM. Does any have a name like 'keylog', or 'spy', or 'grab'? If not, it's likely there's no such thing installed.\n\nBut if you suspect the administrator wants your password, the only way you can be sure he doesn't get it is by not entering it on the computer...

Across multiple keyboards and multiple OSs - on the same system? If it were windows I would suspect the keyboard settings or default input language were set oddly (control panel).\nIf regardless of OS or kbd, it would be odd. Hardware issue with the system? Tried USB kbd if different?

I bought a program called In The Know off the internet for $19.99.  Records key strokes, sites viewed, etc.  It's very easy to use.\n\nKeyloggers are too easy to detect, most make clicking noises.

Wow, that is rather strange.  Though first approach the simple solution.\n\nIs it IE thats the problem or merely your keyboard?  Is it only the main enter key on the keyboard or does the one on the numpad work?  I normally wouldn't ask this, but you didn't use the Enter key in your paragraph once, so I have no clue if its solely the IE address line or your keyboard itself.  If not, explain further with more detail and I'll give it another shot.

You could use a keylogger to email you chat logs, but you would have to install it on the "home" computer and then you would have to disable any antispyware that runs all the time and tell your firewall its ok.

Its got a bios setup....you need to watch the screen when it boots....at some point it will tell you what key to press....it may be quick so keep your eyes peeled! Usually its the delete key

This may seem obvious, but you may try to see if number lock or caps lock is on/off on the either computer.  This happens more often than you would imagine.

You need a Spyware removal tool.  Check out the link below.  It's a link to PCWorld.com with a listing of Spyware removal tools.  I would also consider a Firewall.  The Firewall can block ports that allow the Keylogger to get through.  ZoneAlarm is a very good free firewall.

All of the above answers are good ones and on the right track. You def need a program that will track every keystroke and take screen shots and the like. They are called net nanny programs. There are tons of them out on the market, just search for net nanny or keylogger and look for one that captures everything including scren shots. You will have to pay a small fee for a decent one. Also, if u r running xp, make  anew user acconut with limited permissions, like make it a user account. A user acconut does not haved permissions to install anything, so make sure that limewire, etc, is/are not installed on the compuer and also (if xp) make sure u del all restore points after u uninstal programs and set up the new account. Then get a decent programmable firewall (don't use autoamted ones like mcafee personal firewall), block all ports except 80 (web pages) and 5190 (AIM). This will kill  file share programs. Ports can be changed in fileshare programs if someone is smart enough though. If you are interested in professional personal help with this, including program installation and set up for a small fee, visit www.chrepair.com and email them. I know they remote systems and will give you 100% accureate FREE advice as to what you need to do. Security is their #1 priority when it comes to networking and compuiters.

Probably  a keylogger program that was installed on the computer before he went to college. The keylogger will send a log of everything typed into the computer and send the log to a remote computer. Do you have Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware programs installed on the computer. If they do regular scans and don't detect the Keylogger then you need to try something else to detect it.\n\nGo here and let this site walk you through the proper method for scanning and removing spyware. Many keyloggers hide in the hidden files and restore points. They know normal AS programs are not able to scan these areas and remain undetected. \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/bugbusting.mspx\n\nAfter you do the above then go to this site and download Cyberhawk. It works with the AV/AS programs and is not intended to be used as a stand alone protection program. It uses a different method to detect infections and will find many infections the others don't.\n\nhttp://www.novatix.com/Home.aspx

If you are running an HP (or Compaq)computer, that is a "multi-media human interface device" file (mm hid), typically, a keyboard driver.  (It may be the same for other brands, these are the ones I am familiar with)  This driver makes the 'extra' buttons on a keyboard work, like the volume buttons for a speaker, or the 'internet', 'mail' and other buttons.  The standard keys should go ahead and work, even without this driver, its just these 'extra', specialty buttons that won't work.\n\nTo fix the problem, you need to find and install the right driver for the keyboard.  If you are using the keyboard that came with the computer, then HP will have the drivers on their support site.  See the link I've attached.  In the grey area, you are asked to "Select a task and enter a product name/number" -- toggle the "Download drivers and software...", and, in the box labeled "for product" list your computer model.  On HP and Compaq computers, this is on the front of the 'tower', or box, near the bottom.  A couple of examples are "HP Pavillion 6643", or "Compaq Presario S4020WM".  The name of the computer is, of course, splashed somewhere across the middle, but the 'model number' is in that small inset tag at the bottom (the 6643, or the S4020WM")\n\nOnce you have entered this information, then you get a question of which operating system it is using.  Select the one that is on your machine, and this should bring up the drivers that are available for that model of computer.  You should see one, probably called a "Multimedia Keyboard Driver" and it may have "update" in the title.  Click on the underlined name, and it should download for you.  Pay attention to where it is being saved, in case it doesnt run the update automatically.  You might have to select "Run" from your "START" tab, and browse to goto where the file was saved, and select the downloaded driver, to update your file.  That should install the keyboard driver, and eliminate the error message.\n\nNow... if you are using a brand of keybaord that did NOT come with your computer.. an 'aftermarket' keyboard, say, like a LogiTech... then you would repeat the process, using the keyboard manufacturer's website, instead of the HP website.  Ive added the LogiTech link too... you need to select your country/language...then clkick on "Downloads" in the grey bar across the top of the page.  This brings up a list of products ... select "Keyboards & Desktops", and find the keybaord that matches your own.  (On Logitech Keyboards, you can find the model number and name, on the underside of the keyboard).\n\n:)  It sounds complicated, but it's not really.  Just take it a step at a time, and you can fix it.  :)\n\nGood Luck!  :)
