I have a pentium 3 866MMX with Windows 2000with Office 2000. whenever i press a combination of SHIFT (or CTRL, ALT) with another key in any Office package, the cursor will be loading several other programmes (malfunctioning - unstable). i always have to shutdown the system at any point i try this combination.
What could go wrong please?

try putting the Office cd in the drive.... when the autorun screen appears you should have the option to Repair.

This is most likelly a hardware problem. Have you tried with another keyboard?

The second point of failure that can bring this problems up is the keyboard interface (on the motherboard). I sugest you try an USB keyboard (if your system supports it). This one working, you better change your motherboard.
