Keyboard malfunction?
Anyone got advice on this one?
....grandson has a new windows 8 pc on which he plays games..mostly Minecraft = plenty of repeated keyboard action I believe! The keyboard now does not function, but here is the unusual thing, he can type in his password to get into Windows but then once in the keys don't have any effect. So this am I swapped keyboards..same result, tried plugging the keyboards in the various front and back usb outlets again without success. USB mouse works ok. What could this be? Thanks. |

Nothing at all appears or the wrong characters do? It's obviously not a hardware issue. The only thing I can imagine is a corrupted keyboard driver though I have to admit that I never, in my life, saw a keyboard driver ever fail. -- Silver Slimer If you like the software, buy it.

Thanks for all the advice.
After a bit of trial and error.. The answer was sticky keys! Thanks again. ================= "Andy Burns" wrote in message o.uk...

That makes sense though I always thought that sticky keys only got enabled AFTER logging into the operating system and enabling it manually. -- Silver Slimer If you like the software, buy it.
