Sounds like the keyboard map got screwed up. Did you change a setting?

Off the top of my head, perhaps you can fix it in "Control Panel" (Device Manager, or System), or fix the driver, or try a new keyboard.

So what's new, my keyboard morfs all the time, no key ever stays in the same place long enough for me to touch typ.
 
my keyboard works fine. I want a new mouse though. I hate this wireless one I'm using I want one of those that are about 4 inches tall. Looks much more ergonomically friendly.
 
I recently went through 3 keyboards (within a month) thanks to hypnagogue's "captions".

I really need to stop drinking and reading.

You must have activated the numlock if k writes as two, the u must be a 4?
OMG YESS! I AM SO STUPID!

It took me a few minutes to find NumLock on my laptop. it is just a little lock symbol which only works when I press the Function key

sorry Lisa!:redface:

:smile: Very clever of you! Actually I wanted to tell him I really liked it, but then I saw you've already mentioned that!
