LOL!!! I got it, thanks. As you will see in the email I sent you, the problem still remains even after installing what you sent. I'll be calling my handy dandy computer guy friend tomorrow.

Dahli, I'm 0 for 1 tonight, but my first thought would be to uninstall IE 6.0 and reinstall the prior version.

That concludes my PC advice for the evening.

Dahli, you might want to check with your internet service provider and see if they have any advice for you.

Thanks guys - it's like talking to friends every time I come here, it's just great.
I'll take a look at both of those wonderful suggestions 'on the morrow' -nite all!

CRISIS!!! Had a minor water accident yesterday, and now some of my keyboard keys aren't working. A couple of arrow keys and some number keys don't work, but most importantly, my p doesn't work! (NO, I didn't say I couldn't pee...)

Anyway, the reason you can see any p's in my post is because I copy and paste and it is a pain in the neck!

I really don't want to buy a new keyboard, as money is scarce. Can anybody help? Any suggestions??

By the way, I have one of those ergonomically shaped keyboards. I also took it apart yesterday to make sure everything was dry. On a side note, who knew it looked so nifty underneath?

Butter, this happens all the time at our stores (cashiers not supposed to have drinks at the register but they do!)

Make sure the keyboard was completely dry-the dampness may take a while to dry out- maybe put a fan on it to help speed it up. I take mine apart all the time and clean them- sometimes they come back if you let them totally dry out.

A good can of air is always good to have around... Kensington Duster II works great for me.

Car is right... to make sure it is completely dried out:)

Thanks Car and Moon! I used the hairdryer on it last night, but perhaps I didn't use it long enough... I will try again :)

Butter -- I spilled a glass of tea on my ergonomic keyboard once. Somehow I was able to salvage every single key -- except the escape key. It hasn't worked in three years.

I don't have a problem, just a question..

I "grew up" in computerland with the thought that a Pentium was the best type of processor. Then along came the Celeron, which I was led to believe was a lesser class than Pentium, for those who didn't need such high performance (though one sales clerk did tell my sister that Celeron was better than Pentium). And then came the Anthlon (or however it's spelled).

So, which processor is the best? What are the pros/cons of each? I'm so confused!!

My keybord is as dry as the Saharah desert, and the p still won't work For those of you who knows of the sheets of "maps" underneath the keys, it looks like some of the "roads" are rusted

Does anybody know if I can replace just the sheets? If so, where can I get them and how much are they?

I really appreciate all the help I can get here, as it is very hard to write papers and presentations having to copy and paste the p all the time...*Sigh* I am just not complete without my p.....

My favorite was when one of our stores called and told me their "escape" key wasn't working on one register, and I went over and both the keyboard AND the cash drawer were FULL of coke! They just looked puzzled like little angels, and said "We don't know what happened!" The money was all sticky and brown!!!!

Until it dries out, you may need to change your name to Buttercu?

buttercue
buttercuff

Hey rabbit, thanks for saving her ass. I am sure she will get past her computer problem as it is minor in the scheme of things.

Well Car, that might work but remember Buttercuqu, you must always qulace a 'u' after 'Q'.

Your friend Rabbit, still trying to qurotect your m->Y+m->Z+m->Z.

Butter, Charlie just took apart my ibook because some of my keys weren't working. I'll ask him for advice as soon as he gets home.

Tess goes and kicks Rabbit in his fuzzy little "+m->Y+m->Z+m->Z"
