Really strange problem in XP...

[lobski]

Quite randomly(and rarely) Windows will act as if the left arrow key is being held down. Nothing I do makes it stop, I have to restart the PC for this. This is annoying, because I can't type properly, since the cursor automatically moves to the left. Also makes navigating through Windows a pain. It's not the keyboard problem, as it happens if I unplug it. I'm also on a KVM. I don't think its a hardware issue, since the speed of going left is really slow compared to me holding down the left arrow key.

So, why does Windows sometimes act as if I'm holding down the left arrow key? I've done the usual spybot/adware/hijackthis/av/etc...

I would also do without the KVM for now to see if that is causing it.
