Hi Mike
that was the first thing i tried, its set at the fastest speed possible but
still not working, someone suggested i go into the system set-up at the start
of booting my computer up and go into the keyboard function, and type in
typematic rate , and disable it, have tried to do that but cant find the
keyboard in that setting any other sugestions

In Windows, click on Start | Control Panel | Accessibility
Options | Keyboard tab | uncheck the "Use FilterKeys" and "Use
StickyKeys" boxes | OK.

Look in the BIOS. That is accessible before the operating system loads.
Usually the "Del" key or "F2" but is determined by the computer.

I think I have the same problem: I can't type a single " or ' anymore,
they now come up in pairs, very annoying. It's only this letter and
I've tried the start / contro panel thing and unchecked filterkeys and
stickkeys to no avail. Now that I'm typing this, it seems that
sometimes I can type a ' but not in isolation it seems....

bemused and needing help plz...
