Can anyone help me please!! I am running Win95 OS. I seem to have an intermittent problem. When I try to open a desctop icon by double clicking it, it opens the properties window as if I had right clicked on the icon.
Furthermore, when I am typing sometimes the keyboard stops working and acts as though I have pressed CTRL and a letter for a specific action. Please someone give me ideas as I have already replaced the CPU and RAM and formatted hard disk, and reinstalled windows, but to no avail!! Thanks

Its your control key. When holding down control you can access the properties menu by double clicking. Try cleaning your keys or a different keyboard
