Default calculator starts accidently often

Lately, I'm typing in Word a letter 'n' and the calculater accessory opens
inadvertantly, over and over again, while I'm typing. Has anyone an idea how
to stop this, or how to delete the calculator accessory all together?

Check to see if you have a Hotkey assigned to that function.

Default Re: calculator starts accidently often

The problem is not a hotkey issue; I just ran a list of hotkeys and the
calculator is not in the list (see my list below). So, what could be
happening to make the calculater open on its own like that when I am typing
in Word?
Run-notepad.exe Win + Alt + N
Volume up Ctrl + Oemplus
Volume down Ctrl + OemMinus
Close Window Shift + Escape
Hide window Win + H
Show window Win + S
Translucency (on/off) Win + T
Shutdown Win + Alt + Escape
Eject/ Close cdrom drive 1 Win + Alt + Back
iOSD-Display.rtf Win + Alt + Return
ScreenShot Alt + S

According to this article
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CL100636481033
many newer keyboards have a calculator button. Maybe yours?

If you don't need the calculator, uninstall it from the control panel.
