I had APC ups. 4-5 days back it failed to start-up itself. When i checked, the battery(exide powersafe) was leaking and connections to it had rusted. The warranty for ups is over now. So i cant call the apc.
The proble is that the day before this happened, my ups suddenly switched off when i was working on pc. I didn"t brought battery still but using direct connections for pc for the time being. But now when i logOn to windows, the Start menu autoatically shows up fro time to time. Also i cant directly type 'e, m, u' words in any docuent. coz when i press those keys on keyboard it shows the associated application shortcut to those keys>
e shows the explorer
m minimizes the windows
u brings utily anager.

what is the proble with my system? i use win xp sp1.

see to that that ur windows key isnt stuck...it may be the problem for startmenu....
I am got this ya this only the prob lem..
becoz
win+E is a shortcut for windows explorer
win+m is a shortcut to minimize all the windows on the taskbar..i.e. show desktop
win+u briings the utility manager like narrator and magnifier...

SO i am sure ur windows key either on left or right of kry is stuck...just check it yaar..I tried
with many shortcut with shift, alt , ctrl and thir combinations...finally got this..
