'then turn it off'......i did, 4-5 x's
Try safe mode on reboot.
Ok.i will dO that.
If you found any exe files under 2 weeks old, chances are they could be a virus.
Take any such file names and type them into google and see if they say they are a virus or not.
If they are, got to the processes as I mentioned earlier and turn ones off by that name and then you can probably remove that exe file.
Download AVG free and that should help as well if you have a better than dial up connection.
right the operating system....
please tell me you still have the disk with Windows on it...it should have shipped with the machine.....
'If you found any exe files'......I Can't type THE letter 'e' On, exe. when using search can't eVen paste it.
'please tell me you still have the disk with Windows on it...it should have shipped with the machine.....'..........yeS I DO
pr\TSY.....I TYPeD the wOrd 'pretty', and gOt that.
Sorry, I wasn't saying system restore service was causing the problem. I suggested trying it to FIX the problem. System Restore has security issues, I always have it turned off. In your case it may help. Have you tried replacing the keyboard?
'Strange, since you are typing the letter E to me.'......i'm using cut/paste FOR THAt letter.
Interesting that sometimes your letters are simply mapped to caps while at other times they seem changed at random.
Did you try the suggestion to reboot in safe mode (keep tapping F8 when you reboot, then select safe mode from the options). What effect does the caps lock key have? Can you try another keyboard, or it is a laptop?
'Sorry, I wasn't saying system restore service was causing the problem.'.......i knOw. evRY LeTTeR I TYPe, I MUst eDIt. my sentences.....dumb.
ok....
You need to put that into your CD drive
And then you need to adjust what your computer boots up from.....
'Interesting that sometimes your letters are simply mapped to caps'......i will cOpy what yOu just pOsted tO me. BUT YOu wOn't sen all thE pages i haVe To eXIT BeFoRE i can............................................................i CAn'ts type THAT, to0 many \windows......its almost .12 ga time oN THIs kb.
'You need to put that into your CD drive'........Ok
its' going to involve 2 reboots
The first time, you need to hit F2 during the DELL (I'm assuming it's a dell) screen and enter the set up.
From there, you need to adjust the boot process to look at your CD-ROM drive first.
Save and exit and allow the machine to boot up.
Then reboot it again and hopefully it will come up.
There will be an option to do a repair reinstall if it's XP.
Good Luck!!
'I had the same problem and replaced the keyboard. I no longer have the same problem 8>)'......i told hubby, if nO fix, get me ne\w One mOrrOw.
