It happens many times in a day that i start typing in any input field in browser and the input field stops taking input from my system keyboard. Sometimes some keys works and some not, seems like it hangs at the time of typing something.

And if you type in a notepad or likes does it do the same problem? If so then you got keyboard problems if that is the case. So does it do it then?

Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st:

then

Note does not do anything for your Video Card Drivers
