A strange Problem

[dave potts]

I thought I had it fixed by changing the Editor interface from enhanced to basic. But when I went to post the message, it did not post.
I'm trying again, so will see if this message posts.

Well it worked and now I see that both messages posted.

Almost always when single keys fail at work (I am not a tech wizard but manage our IT) it is because of a dirty keyboard. Everything bagels are deadly to keyboards.... Anyway, get a can of compressed air and clean out under the keys also a quick fix...turn the key board over and GENTLY tap on the back to clear any debris under the keys...NO water...No household spray cleaner. I get the best looks from the smartest people when I give the keyboard a couple of taps or a quick air spray and the problem is fixed...awesome Good Luck...KMQ

I agree, but in this case the only time the enter key wouldn't work was when I was typing on this board. It worked fine everywhere else. The problem has now been corrected as noted in my post above.

I have never been to a computer training class, other than software, in my life. But, unless my wife is telling me something, I listen well. A colleague and I were talking a few years back and he told he his computer had died. After confirming the next move was to the recycle bin I repeated advice I had heard from a computer guy. When all else has failed take the hard drive out and slam it ONE time on a solid level surface. He called me a couple of days later starting off with "You're a genius!" It had worked, the harddrive was stuck and the jar freed it up and the computer started back working.

I would assume you need to also cuss it some at the same time.
That may work but I would certainly save it for the very last thing to try. LOL.

Dave,

In the navy we called that a 'Drop Check'.

While in IE and signing onto this net I have to sign twice before it takes. Also when going to the BB the screen
goes blank and I have to hit "F5" (refresh) and all is good again. I also get flies stuck in the trees behind me,
but that is not a "BUSH" caused problem.

It is the LAST resort, because I have reached a point in my life where people expect better of me, I try not to cuss, although I am not alway successful. After working my way through college doing road construction and spending 23 years in Army National Guard Aviation, it's not that I don't know how. I haven't noticed much of a lack of impact in expressing myself.
