    I have a very strange issue on my laptop which comes and goes when it feels like it. When I press the single quote key, the application I am using is killed off immediately. This is not good when you are programming ... :(( Has anyone else experience such bizarre behaviour? Should I just lob the wretched thing out of the window?

      some times, and I guess this has nothing to do with your problem... the ALT, ALT Gr, Control, Shift... keys get locked and then the most inofensive keys make such strange things... try pressing all of them (not at the same time please) and then try it again... good luck...

        Hmmm. Seems to be ok at the moment. I will see how it goes. It's unbelievably annoying when it happens and my colleages that sit near me are getting scared everytime I explode with anger :omg:

          Well, I have a big kitchen knife near me always... it is a part that we grinded in one machine we made some time ago, but it becomes handy sometimes... :rolleyes:

            I have a picture of the scene from Office Space with the computer. I show it to my machine every now and then to remind it that humans are not above that sort of thing. My machine always runs better after I show it the picture and my bat.

              You didn't forget to sacrifice a small mammal over the keyboard this morning, as we all know is vital for computers to behave deterministically, did you?

                I might have to try that. I was just in the middle of typing an SQL statement when I hit the quote key...... and goodbye SQL management studio :mad:
