I have XP Home edition. When I login and type certain characters (example
"i") the system actually shows another character that I supposedly typed --
example "5"! So, I can not write anything since what I type is NOT what shows
on word or any other application! I have to re-booth the system and then
everything is OK!! It happens everytime. Any idea what to do? Thanks. Koz

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead).

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html

You have a laptop, and you've turned on Num Lock somehow. (There
should be an indicator light somewhere on or near the keyboard.)

Follow manufacturer's instructions to turn off Num Lock.
