Try cleaning out your keyboard with soem compressed air, or take the keycaps off and clean it out fully.

Why 2 post of the same question

was an accident!

thanks for the advice, to expound the explanation, if i rest my finger lightly on the colon key and dont press it down at all it repeatedly types the colon, almost like an earth or something.
I will try cleaning and let you know.

thanks again

1) It's a semicolon (press shift and you'll get a colon)
2) You either spilled something, or otherwise damaged the keyboard such that the button below the "p" is activated and you get the ";". Agree with cleaning. If that does not do it, you can learn to hit "delete" after every "p" or take it to a repair center for better cleaning or keyboard replacement.

It's not very consistent, is it?
Did cleaning it out solve the pproblem?

Glad to know that you can p again.

In the future, consult a Urologist for your p-ing problem.

Somehow I knew this thread was going to get the responses it did. "You stallions," was unexpected.
