"Ease of Access" pops up on logon screen as I am typing my password.

Everytime I try to log into Windows 7 Pro on my laptop.  The "Ease of Access" dialog pops up as I am typing my password, and the letter I am typing when it pops up is not entered into the password field.  I have tried going into the Ease of Access control panel using the Administrator account, turning off all Ease of Access features, clicking "Change Administrative Settings" and checking "Apply all settings to the log on desktop."

This does not solve the problem.  Is there an OFFICIAL way to COMPLETELY disable Ease of Access?  I have seen some apps that claim to replace system files to get rid of it, but I'd prefer not to go that route.  At this point, I shouldn't have to for something that is clearly a product defect that people have been complaining about for a while in Vista.

Thank you for your assistance.

This is a HP problem. When connected to a remote device or server, once you go back to your local desktop or lock the pc while using the remote desktop, HP PC's will act as if the windows button is being held down, this causing any key shortcuts to act, "WIN+u" being easy of acces shortcut.

    Has anyone found a real fix for this yet? A few of my users (and me) are having this issue on Windows 7 Professional SP1, but none of us are virtualised.

    Thanks in advanced.

    I'm running a Win 2003 VM through Virtual PC on Windows 7 ... I'll pay attention when I have it open and see if I notice anything.

    I have this problem as well. Definitely seems to be related to virtualization. Is there a way to properly disable Ease of Access?
