strange focus problems

I encounter a very strange focus problem, which doesn't happen regularly but
quite often. 
After some investigation I could track it down to the following conclusion: any
window 
behaves as if the default-button would be pressed. For example I try to
visualize Pronews 
--> Help --> Product Information, which flashes up and disappears
immediately as if the 
OK-button had been pressed (somehow it's activated). This happens to all similar

procedures. I've never noticed something like this. It happens since I passed to
eCS 2.0. 
As this problem is very annoying I'm looking forward to any hint.

Ciao, Harald

Have you tried applying an archive from a point before you started 
having this problem or have you always had this problem?  You don't have 
any Found.000 directories on your root drive indicating that chkdsk has 
been run and found stray files.

I have always had this problem since I passed to eCS 2.0x. I restored several
backups I 
had created after the installation but the problem persisted. In the beginning I
didn't 
understand it, but now it seems quite clear: some programs behave as if the
default-button
was pressed. It's a very strange problem especially as it appears only
periodically.

Maybe those are already broken?

That sounds more like a hardware defect. (At first, I would test
another keyboard and/or mouse.)

Of course I can't exclude that, but I did the first backup immediately after the

installation before any modification, i. e. installation of wps-extensions like
wps-wizard
or eschemes deluxe.

This was the first thing I tried :-(
