Periodic Insanity - t61 sometimes seems to be getting an overload of input

I just got a used t61, which I love, but I've noticed a really troublesome problem.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit w all the latest updates and Office 2007 similarly updated.
Sometimes when I'm using Word or Excel, the program will suddenly seem like I'm holding down a key forever. It'll lock up and take all of the resources of one of the two cores, and I can rarely pull it out of this state.
Right now, for example, the paper I was writing in Word has gone beserk. I saw the cursor fly up the screen as if I were holding down CTRL+left (I wasn't). It flew all the way to the top and then I couldn't do anything and still can't. I can't switch to the program with ALT+Tab, but I can bring it up if I right click the taskbar and select the document that way. I can't do anything but look at it, though. Task Manager is showing that WINWORD is using 49% of the CPU, but it doesn't say its not responding.
I've noticed the same problem in Excel, though I'm usually able to get out of the infinite loop in that case just by clicking the program and waiting and hitting escape (I dont really know why it usually works).
Does anyone have ideas about this? It's really kind of a deal breaker - I cant be lokcing up Word and Excel every two hours.
switch to the program to view it, and it does not seem to have officially locked up (task manager still shows it). I
I've set all my Office programs to autosave every three minutes, but this is insane.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Hello,
Some security programs might monitor keyboard, mouse and screen capture activity activity to look for keystroke loggers or banking trojans (which like to capture these events). Just a thought, as I'm not particularly familiar with the functionality of that particular brand.

My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
Is there certain times of the day when you notice the Internet is slow?
If so, that's probably the reason.
Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
That will slow your connection, too!
Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
Might be time from a newer, faster router?

Just bought new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I have my hand on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. What gives?

Just bought brand new new iMac. When browsing in Safari, sometimes the text suddenly gets super large. I'm doing nothing except reading the screen, tho I usually have my hand resting lightly on the mouse. I can get back to normal size by clicking "actual size" in View. But then it does it again a minute or two later. What gives? Something seems defective--but what?

From System Preferences, Mouse, Point & Click, Secondary click. Go to it hover over Secondary click and watch the short video sequence change it left right, left right, you will see exactly what is does. No I do not think your Mouse is defective, you simply need to take control of your Mouse finger.

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

Sometimes my power supply gets hot

I have the newest MacBook Pro 15 with the 2.5 Ghz Intel i7. I've noticed that sometimes my power transformer gets pretty when charging the laptop. Other times it doesn't get warm at all. Why would this happen? Is there something wrong with it?

Hi!
I have the exact same notebook as you.
I'm not sure that this is true, but I think that this depends on the difference in charge.
For example-- as charge from (100% - 40% = 60%) requires more time, it may heat up.
whereas, a charge up 10% won't heat up as much.

Sometime wrong endpoint URL getting picked up at runtime at adapter engine

Hi experts,
In our production XI box, sometime wrong endpoint URL getting picked up at runtime at adapter engine.
But this scenario does not happen always. It happens sometime. I have checked url for integration engine in
SLD and also RWB->Component monitoring->integration engine, but in both the places it is correctly specified.
It is very difficult to find the root cause...please help
Thanks,
Nayan

Hi Christian,
May be it is a cluster problem...actual URL must be the URL of the cluster not any specific SAP server box....but in our case sometimes URL points to any SAP server that may or may not be within that cluster.
Please give some solution to rectify it.
Thanks,
Nayan

I have the Photoshop Photography Program and every time I try open Photoshop CC it asks me for a Serial Number. It keeps saying my trial period has ended. How can I get this working since Adobe doesn't issue Serial Numbers for CC.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

I seem to be getting lots of pop ups appearing, despite blocking pop-ups in my options

Hi,
I now seem to be getting a lot of pop-up in Firefox, despite having pop-up blocked in settings>content.
I also get separate windows opening for gaming/ trahs sites.
In certain websites I also get words which now link to bizzy bolt websites, which are now way related to the website I am viewing.

You may have an unwanted extension that is generating the ad popups. Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or remove.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that eliminate the popups?
If you find extensions that do not have a Remove button, usually this indicates that they were installed externally. Check the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column header to bring recent additions to the top and reveal items that were bundled together, perhaps without your knowledge.
To mop up, you can try the scanners in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

My iMac is home to a 400GB photos library currently syncing to a 500GB iCloud a/c. My 3 MacBooks have much less space which I need and seems to be getting used up fast as it syncs.

My iMac is home to a 400GB photos library currently syncing to a 500GB iCloud a/c.
My 3 MacBooks have much less space which I need and seems to be getting used up fast as it syncs.
How do I reduce the size of the library on the MacBooks - I have already set optimise in preferences but it is using up the space available.
What happens when I download a movie - will it automatically reduce the size of the photos library or am I screwed?

JasonFranks wrote:
OK, had already done all that. My primary concern is whether the system will be fooled by the fact that it will take some time for the 400GB to upload and for the MacBooks to know what volume they are dealing with. It's currently at 100GB after over a day. I guess if it fails I can disconnect from the cloud on the MacBooks and delete the library, right.
If I was transferring data onto the hard drive could it really optimise that quickly?
What is your basis for trusting the magic - have you experienced this?
I've updated my Macs, my wife's Mac, her fathers Mac and my mothers Mac.
It worked everytime, but it takes a while (days or weeks if your library is large)

Keep Activity Monitor running and see what app is running at or near 100% of CPU capacity when this happens.

Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!
