Has anyone ran into the problem of the enter key not working when browsing the Internet? The key will start working after a reboot. The OS is Win2K SP-4, the browser is IE 6, SP-1. This is happening on more than one system in my environment. I have scanned for viruses, but nothing has shown up.

You have to reboot before a change will be seen.
A lot of new keyboards process the keys prior to submitting them to the OS for traditional handling. This can be a real problem.
If only the Enter key is failing, I suspect a hardware issue. To the extent it is a software/driver issue, you end up in the same place: replace the keyboard.
