I cleared up a problem once by deactivating the mouse 'pad' below the keyboard. I had to go into the BIOS to do that, but the problem was solved!

I have a client with a fairly new Dell Vostro notebook. The mouse will act as if the shift key pressed. I can't get it to stop selecting. once in a great while it won't but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. She had the Onscreen Keyboard activated and the shift key appeared as if I was pressed. Her keyboard was acting strange as to the numbers and such but once I cleared the Onscreen keyboard that cleared that issue. But I still have mouse issues. I can't find a reference to this anywhere. I'm wondering if the keyboard has a short in it.
