Cats do such things. I guess you'll have to re-partition and format your disk. At least.[Link] cv Member My reviews[/url] 594 Posts 7/03 Posted - Aug 19 2005 : 12:00PM
Your cat has a virus. Which one? I don't know.Search Google for "feline virus" and read the symptoms.
Good luck!

You've got the jamesn virus. The only cure is to go to Walmart, buy a shotgun, come home and shoot the damned thing. 1. Have you rebooted?

If CTRL or "Alt Gr" is pressed down, it opens new Tab in Firefox.

You're a dog lover, aren't you?[Link] Bornyo Deactivated Member 803 Posts 12/04 Posted - Aug 19 2005 : 1:14PM
Jamesn is a holistic keyboard healer of sorts. He collects broken ones off the street and nurses them back to health, so maybe he'll post his opinion.I suspect a reboot will correct it, if not the cat probably nibbled on the cable, mistaking it for a mouse cable.
When jamesn dies his family will have to haul off his keyboards in a 20yd dumpster

kataboom, if you are going to buy a new keyboard, you could have a look at this one .But remember to treat your cat properly. Pussies that don't get stroked as often as they like sometimes destroy a man's tools, so to speak.

The suggestion was a serious one. I've had it happen with keyboards and speaker wires. It's better to check the simple stuff first.

Sometimes dogs are good at destroying computers too. A friend of mine once had a DVI output port destroyed because his dog ran through the room in a state of crazy overexcitement.

Cats are attracted to Cat-5 and Cat-6 Ethernet cables.You should go wireless.

i tried both of those keys. & what does "being stuck" mean? this laptop keyboard isnt really a mechanical object. its more like a push button keyboard. i dunno.

another possibility is perhaps the contacts are dirty or worn?
