In my haste of typing fast, I seem to have changed something. It seems that now when I type, and lets say want to go back and edit what I typed, it starts deleting the old type, it did this before and then it stopped and it just started now when I was typing a email. I know its probably some setting that can be changed with a few keystrokes, but does anyone know what it is?

Click the insert key right above your arrows next to the "home" button.

Im sorry, I feel stupid but where exactly is this insert key?

phinsup 11-20-2002 04:04 PM

Just to the right of your backspace key above the arrow keys.

How about when your keys decide to go on "sticky keys" - I had gotten it off before, but I forget how you get it off with XP.

I was responding to a PM on this board. Its happened to me before, I never use that ******* key, lol.

So when that happens I hit that key and it goes back to normal?

Yeah, on the net the browser doesn't show you if its activated or not though.. But on programs like Word it will say if its activated, on the lower right hand corner of the screen.. just like it shows if the caps lock is activated..
