When typing on my laptop keyboard, sometimes the palm of my hand will hit some keys, don't know what or where, and my page might change or I lose what I have typed. Does this have anything to do with the "hot keys" on my key board for my Toshiba computer? Should I or can I turn off hot keys to avoid this? Please help as it is very frustrating when in the middle of something.

I found on my laptop that the touch pad was interfering too much when I was typing so I started using a USB mouse and disabling the pad. It didn't stop all the behaviour you describe, but it has cut it down considerably. Now the only time this problem occurs is when I am being klutzy with my typing, such as hitting the Enter key when I want the right Shift key.

Hope this helps some.
