Blowing out the keyboard seems to have solved the problem. Such a simple solution..:D<br />

Ive had this thing about 4 years now and lately its been giving me some keystroke errors in the F,G,H keys area.<br />
Sometimes the key press takes the cursor to a random area in the text Im typing , sometimes it highlights it then erases it if I press another key and some other erratic behaviour.<br />
I found a site on the net that details exactly how to remove and replace the key board for cleaning for this unit and Im not afraid to delve in there and try but before I do thought Id see it there were possible alternate solutions.<br />
Are there drivers associated with the keyboard that may be corrupt?<br />
Would reformatting and reinstalling Windows XP possibly solve the problem?<br />

Toshiba M70-FE5 Keyboard problems

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
