Hmm. Interesting problem. I've experienced something like this, but nowhere
near as bad, on my Acer Aspire 5100. The laptop keyboard frequently "locks
up" for a second or two when entering passwords on web sites and once or
twice I've seen it do this while in Word or writing an email. Like you, I'm
not sure why this occurs either. Now when entering passwords I have to wait
between letters and watch to make sure I have a cursor icon on the screen
before pressing the next key. I have had tons of problems with this laptop
and it back to the Acer shop twice. I've just chalked it up to possibly a
driver issue and Acer's poor quality in general.
