Keyboards

At some point, when cleaning my keyboard I changed the response i get on
certain keys. E"G"If I want a question mark I get an É. The three keys to
the right of the m and the two keys to the right of the l seem to be infected
with the french symbology.

Very frustrating and I canèt find any help.

Thanks

RE: Keyboards

Same here. And I usually fumble my way out, by rebooting or using the Outlook
Detect and Repair, or stopping/starting Outlook, or ...?
But now that it happens often {abpout once/week}, I realize that I'd better
find a proper solution. I don't use that F Lock feature {I use a wireless
3000 keyboard and mouse, on xp}, so it's not that. No help under any 3000
wireless keyboard discussion group...
Help?

Re: Keyboards

Seems it's related to the new IE 7 where it checks the RESTRICTED ZONES in
your browser, thereby delaying the Outlook messaging you're trying to create
{??}.
It's a known bug but no fix is ready yet...low priority. All this from an
MVP, by the way.
I removed all those RESTRICTED sites and all was OK.
I will try your solution, as my keyboard 'stuttering' reappeared after I had
to go back to a system restore checkpoint, and this problem was
'reintroduced'! And trying to clear the RESTRICTED zones didn't work this
time {arrrghhh!}.
