Thanks to all the folks who have replied so far. I've checked the things
you've suggested to no avail. I'm definitely hitting & holding & I'm
definitely waiting until all spurious activity has stopped before using the
key. This Enter key phenomenon has only recently appeared, suggesting
something has definitely changed
In the absence of Aaron from the Guildford show (he is apparently not well) I
talked to Dave Holden of APDL who agreed with me that all the "clearing out"
I've done on the Windows side may have changed/wiped out something important
to VA. He suggested re-installing VA to re-instate any suspect bits etc. When
I've got time I'll have a look at that & work out exactly how to do it
without losing any programmes/files etc.
