I remember this from my DOS days - press CTRL-ALT-LSHIFT=20
to stop the shift key "sticking"...

Hi,

I've recently updated my Windows XP system with all=20
the Windows Updates
and now I've got a huge problem. Whenever I open a=20
command prompt (dos box)
and run EDIT.COM then press the arrow keys, instead of=20
the cursor moving
around, a selection highlight is created. For example if=20
I open a file with
EDIT.COM and press the RIGHT arrow key, instead of the=20
cursor moving to the
second character in the line, the first character is=20
selected (highlighted).
I thought that it might be that the SHIFT key is stuck=20
but it's NOT, if I
press an alphanumeric character, the right character=20
comes up instead of the
shifted character (capital/lower case), also, pressing=20
any other character
brings up the correct one (1 NOT !), only the arrow keys=20
seem to be
affected.


Any ideas? It's REALLY annoying.
