The "undo" function occurs randomly while I am using any SW application, like
MS Word, Excel, Outlook, IE, etc. I am running XP Pro, SP3 and am current with all updates for XP and Office 2007 on a Dell D420 laptop. I have run virus scans, RegCure, and Adware. In fact it happened twice while typing in this message as this is the third time I typed in this last sentence. Any help is greatly apreciated. |

Ctrl+Z is undo, perhaps there is a keyboard hardware problem?

I have a wireless keyboard attached to the laptop. I toggled that keyboard
and the laptop's and the key's seemed fine. The problem occurs when the laptop is docked or not docked.

Many people regard registry cleaners as useless at best and damaging at worst. - If it is a recent problem, have you tried System Restore? |

Well, it just happened while I typed my reply to you. The two sentences that
I was typind got erased. No, I have not tried safe mode and have not done a system restore, although, I am getting close to that option. I will try notepad, but since it happened here, I think it can happen anywhere. Thanks for helping....

It's like a ctrl-z that happens randomly no matter what application is
running. Even while typing in this reply box it could happen.

1) Change batteries in keyboard.
2) Change to a wired keyboard 3) This assumes you're not using a touchpad, where it's darned easy to erase things you've typed if you don't have the controls tweaked right.

No, but it is a Microsoft 4000 wireless keyboard. Another person said to
change the batteries. I may give that a try. Did you find a solution? "virginiab" wrote: > This happens to me too, but not all the time. It seems to be random.
