numeric keys on Thinkpad
Hi. My sister has an old IBM thinkpad.
She's not sure how it happened but the numeric pad is activated which means that all the right had keys on the keyboard are numbers instead of letters. Normally you would hold the Fn key while pressing F10 or such, but we have pressed every singel F key (that wasn't swearing) and CANNOT get the letters to come back. Why does this have to be a problem. You would think there would be somewhere in the control panel that would able you to put the keyboard back to default. Even rebooting didn't take it back. Anyhow now she's getting desperate coz there's absolutely nothing she can do now on it while it's like this. I've looked all over the IBM website but can't find a solution. Pls help. |

Sorted!
As soon as I sent this I tried Fn + K (thinking K for Keyboard) and that did it. "JN" wrote in message ... Hi. My sister has an old IBM thinkpad.
