Sid gave you a few common sense suggestions. I think you should try them,
then acknowledge Sid's reply with something other than your terse note
below. Furthermore, the odds of your problem being caused by a bug are
overwhelmingly against you. Win2000 is installed on several million machines
and we would have heard about this "bug" a long time ago if it existed. This
is one of the benefits of newsgroups: When there is something wrong with an
OS or with an application then word gets around very, very quickly.
Now let's try a different keyboard, preferably on a different input port
(USB if you're currently using PS/2, or vice versa).

terse notes are verboten? OK, I will get longwinded.
It was the "slow down typing" that pissed me off.
I am sorry I didn't elaborate all the common sense things I tried.
yes, KB changeout. retry PWs in CAPS, etc.
the PWs are good, since they will finally 'take' after how many
retries. Just a real pain in the butt. and no other artifacts of
corruption anywhere else in the system.
there are 3 PWs, all admin, and all 3 exhibit this quirk.
????
thx

There is nothing wrong with terse notes. However, when a total stranger
makes an effort to write three paragraphs with helpful hints in response to
your request for help then it is IMHO rude to reply "thx for 0". A phrase
such as "Thank you but sorry, it made no difference" would have been far
more appropriate.
