    Hi

    My keyboard no longer obeys me, the whole right hand side returns gibberish, e.g. p is now - and 0 is *. Has anyone had this happen before, s it a virus or is the comp just ready for the tip?

    Thanks in advance

    Spear, it is a laptop alright, ran AVG and it found nothing. found that if i hold CTRl down that the proper letters appear with the keystrokes!

    Dont think anything spilled on it, but is in common room so nothing ruled out.

    Thanks guys

    Turn off the numpad overlay. Usually something like fn + f11.

    It does look like something like that, uiopjklm is 456-1230. Tried Fn + F11 but no joy!
