Keyboard problem
My parents are having a problem with their keyboard on their laptop, whenever they type "s" it types it twice. I adjusted the repeat rate so that it is almost as low as it goes and it still happens. Any suggestions?

probably, if it wasnt a laptop ide say replace the keyboard, or just clean it.

Sounds like a dodgy contact to me.
If you can safely remove the keyboard, wash it in boiling water, and then thoroughly dry it out on a warm setting with a hair-dryer.
Make sure it is completely dry before re-installing.
If it doesn't work at all then, at least you have an excuse to replce the keyboard!
