Title: Urgent IT help needed Post by: janaage on Friday, September 19, 2008, 10:54:49 A colleague of mine (honest it's not me) has managed to some how lock her keyboard. Now none of the keys work, she lent on the keyboard now nothing happens when she goes to type.
The keyboard hot keys, like the internet button still work but none of the typewriter keys. Anyone know how to undo this? Cheers in advance. Title: Re: Urgent IT help needed Post by: Batch on Friday, September 19, 2008, 10:57:57 Vista?

Title: Re: Urgent IT help needed Post by: janaage on Friday, September 19, 2008, 11:01:57 The keyboard "hot keys" i.e. shortcut to windows media, and shortcut to their internet homepage still works though it's just all the character keys, letters numbers, space bar etc none of them work.
Problem is if she reboots and it's still not working she won't be able to log on. So was looking for help prior to going down that road really. Title: Re: Urgent IT help needed Post by: flammableBen on Friday, September 19, 2008, 11:04:32 Is it a USB keyboard?
