give keyboard double-smack

I don't know, maybe ask someone who knows how to fix these things. I just don't have the touch.

i seem to have fixed it for the moment. i downloaded the keyboard drivers from the dell website. only problem is, i dont know WHY the drivers got deleted or whatever in the first place. it seems as if i have a virus, but my recently updated virus scan isnt showing anything. hmph.

keyboards like to reset themselves.

in your driver settings, make sure you don't have some weird configuration picked.


did you install any games or programs that could have changed it?




and a lot of times, if you just unplug it and plug it back in after you restart, it will fix it (if its stalling anyway)

This thread is so sad.

[insertnamehere]

why?

[Pres Zount]

It just makes me feel so sorry for you. It makes me feel sad inside, ok?
:(

[Tzar]

so your typing brought up random letters and numbers?
one of my sister's friends rang up, asking for me, to help her cause she had the same problem. i suggested turning the computer off and turning off the power plug station thing and turning on and all that shit. she said it worked?

this happened today. bout 3 hours ago.
