Guest Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Hi everyone, I don't usually ask for help BUT... Something has gone wrong with my computer (probably means I have done something!) and I can no longer delete hilighted blocks of text using the backspace key, only with the forward delete key. Can anyone suggest why? I can still delete individual characters with the backspace key, though. I know it doesn't sound a terribly serious problem but it is extremely irritating! All help gratefully received Thanks Fox
Guest Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Have you turned off your computer if may return to its original settings?
Guest Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 This is just a guess, see if you have "put on" your scroll lock or num lock buttons, I know when my computer does things like that hubby comes along and presses buttons found on the right side of the keyboard. Peggy
Guest Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks Linda and Peggy for the suggestions, but neither have proved to be the solution But strangely enough I CAN do the deletion of blocks of text in the forum message writing box! Weird, or what?
