    Default Keyboard question

    I'm a fast typer and this is driving me insane to say the least!!!!!

    My little one started pouncing on the keys the other day so I assume this is what messed it up.

    When I type just a couple words it will like backspace on it's on and erase some words and it starts to type in the middle of the words I already typed. I have to keep correcting this.

    Did that make sense? Is there like a setting on the keyboard to correct this? This happened before I can't remember how I fixed it!

    I will make you cupcakes if you help me! What kind do you like?

    TIA

    Ugh, I am spacing on exactly what the key is on a traditional keyboard.

    Up on the upper right of your keyboard, there is a set of three keys, I believe one says insert. Hit that. I will find a better set of instructions

    Here's a link explaining the function of the key: http://www.pcdon.com/070107FunctionK...Shortcuts.html
    Basically worthless.

    Thanks, I've had this problem in past. I've fixed it also but had no clue how. Normally just reboot and start over. Palooka thanks for question, Nichole thanks for the fix.

    I've even tried reboot a few times and that didn't work.

    Fine but it's going to be vegan! You won't even know there is no dairy and eggs in it. They are super moist! This killer cupcake recipe book I have is so cool and easy!

    Oh and are your crazy or something? The icing is the best part!

    How 'bout this? I get the icing and Niko gets the cupcake. All I do is lick off the frosting...not exactly frugal, but it tastes so good!

    Happy to help--glad it worked!

    Sounds like a plan. I'll mail you the cupcakes. You lick the icing off and then send the rest to Niko.

    Oh yes yes! I think you have to go into your user control panel or something.
