Right first of all I am using a multi lingual keyboard or whatever it's called, @ is located at the no.4 and to get it I have to press control and alt at same time. When I type @, the next letter I type after it, regardless of what letter it is, causes usually the file or view drop down menu to appear, or run random programs, like it tried to install some flash wizard or something there a minute ago. I'm sending lots of emails at the mo so it's very annoying.

Any thoughts? thanks in advance.

How long do you hold alt for? Alt is usually used as a shortcut to menus (Best example is something like word which will show all the shortcuts when you hold alt).

Depending on how you're pressing or releasing the keys (ie pressing alt first or releasing it last) that could be the issue.

(although I'm failing to replicate it here on Win7)
