windows-2008

I have a Lenovo W500, which has dual boot.

When I boot into Windows 2008 R2 and connect to an external screen or projector, the keyboard locks. Sometimes it is just a few of the keys, sometimes keys start different programs.

I do not have this problem if I boot with windows 7. I have run windows update, but it did not help.
