how do i disable all windows 7 shortcuts?

No matter what program I'm in, word, the internet, outlook, etc., I'm getting popup windows (print, new window, etc.) or edits just by hitting a key. I'm fairly certain I'm not hitting control or alt first but they constantly popup. I've never had a keyboard do this before. I actually took a computer back because it was doing that and now the second computer does the same thing.
