When I boot my PC, sometimes it beeps slowly or rapidly.

This is "cured" by unpluging and then plugging the keyboard back in.
Some times this does not work, but putting your finger over the pins
on the keyboard connector cures this...what is going on?

I am having difficulties with receiving news, please could you copy your
post to my mailbox. Thanks.

Regards,

Sara.
