magic number 8

i was wondering if anybody could help me out there. i've been having a slight problem with my keyboard/computer. any time i press the number 8 on my number pad it glitches up, i see an old email i wrote months ago, and a combination of numbers that i know from my work. whats really weird is that whenever i press th normal number 8 "above the letters" it works just fine. whats wrong with it? feel free to email me at first_time_punk@yahoo.com. thank you in advanced.

Can you please describe what you mean by "glitches up"?

sure...random programs open and close, the email text it typed anywhere i would be allowed to type (word, even this box for instance, etc...) i won't be able to do anything with the computer for at least a minute...i feel like it's possessed and that im watching another bad linda blair movie...*UPDATE* i found out what triggered the mess, you know how i said it was the number 8, well above the number pad is 4 keys for program...i have program macro,suspnd macro,repeat rate, and remap. now last night right after posting this topic i pressed suspnd macro just for ****s and giggiles and the problem turned off, however whenever i press program macros the problem lives again. how do i get rid of that is the new question...

If your keyboard software allows you to turn off those special features, do so. Otherwise, the only way to disable them will probably involved getting a new keyboard.
