He3-, What has Edw5na d6ne/

[Logan]

I have had this happen before, Sara. Unfortunately, I can't remember the remedy! If you have the book that came with your laptop, see if you can find the answer there, or go to the website of the company that made your computer. It's the calculator keys she has turned on, for when you have lots of computing to do!

I hate it when that happens! Unfortunately, it hasn't happened often enough to me for me to remember how to fix it!

EDIT: Sara, I just found the instructions for my IBM Thinkpad. It says hit "Shift" and "NumLk" at the same time. Hope that helps!!!

I awake because Lilly had to go outside and I'm waiting for her to come back in!

LOL!!! Silly Edwina!

That reminds me of the time when I was chatting with Cataholic, and one of her cats...I think it was Dakky..., walked on her keyboard and messed it up. She kept typing wierd and I thought she was teasing me, and kept telling her to *stop it*. Eventually she turned on yahoo messenger's drawing board and *drew* what was going on. I finally got it, after SO long, but it was hilarious. I don't know how she fixed it, but she was typing just fine the next day.

dakky probably fixed it!

Sorry Sara - when I finished laughing I realised it wasn't a joke!

Normally when Dan or Ketchum dance on the keys I just get cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccggggggggg ggggggggggggggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - very easy to delete - if they ever 'do' anything like Edwina - I'd be in a panic!

Hey don't you guys over there ever sleep?!

Logan - what the ?&%^$ is Numlk? I thought Number Lock but I'm blowed if I can find it on my keyboard - I do realise I'm probably being thick!! I'm very computer illeterate! Oh - you'd already guessed that

Yes looks like Num Lock, on my keyboard it's Num with an arrow down. It can happen on a laptop keyboard on which the numbers can be typed with the Fn key.

One day the Filou happened to walk on Ctrl+A+Del when Siegmar was writing a text

LOL! Maybe!!

Lynne, nope.......I never sleep. Just kidding! I'm still exausted from moving and took a loooong nap during the day. Now its LATE night, and I can't fall asleep. When I can't sleep, I end up on PT. I should be going to bed though.......before morning. Didn't realize how late it was until you mentioned it.

Sarah, cats have no respect for our toys. They think they own all the toys in the house.

Miley, yes, my sweet Miley girl, walks across the top of my clock radio, resetting all the codes, making all of her necessary adjustments and sometimes turning it on, full volume and also, resetting the time every now and then. That is handy. When I came home from work yesterday, the radio was playing and on a silly station....not one that I had set. The volume key was not adjusted....thank goodness.

I often end up putting a vase or teddy bear on the top of the radio to discourage Miley's sitting there. She will sometimes look down at the numbers speeding by, as she sits on the controls.....can you say entertainment?

I hope your key problem cure works. I vote for the num locks solution too.

Cats!

Oops! Sorry Sara! I too thought that Edwina was sending out messages to all of the PT kitties.

SAS, what a mental picture I got from this line! She will sometimes look down at the numbers speeding by, as she sits on the controls.....can you say entertainment?

[Logan]

Sallyanne, I can't tell you how many times Butter has done that on my radio in the middle of the night!!! LOL!!!

Lynne, you are not crazy. I typed exactly what the IBM book said, but it means Number Lock. We have three computers and the abbreviation on that key is different on every single one of them!!!

[catnapper]

My boys love to dance on the keyboards too. Allen's really good about hitting the keys you're not supposed to hit and wiping out a whole LONG post! So far, neither have managed to do the damage that Edwina has done!

Are the keys fixed yet?

That's what I thought too - or the newest version of a puzzle.

Hope it's sorted out now.

[ramanth]

Oh Edwina, you silly girl.

Just watch the other computer, or she might sabotage that one as well to force you to pay attention to her.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Thank you Logan! I found the NumLk key and it is fixed!!!!

She had to step on (or dance on) both the shift key and the numlk at the same time.

Now I will go and pay her some "extra attention"!

Thanks all.......

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Aaahh...I never thought of the num lock key! I'm still a newbie with the laptop. My num lock key is always on on my desktop, and never on on my laptop so I didn't even think of it.

Anyway, glad you got it fixed and now we all learned something about when our kitties try and help on the computer.

Cats!

This made me laugh out loud! What an image!

Sara, glad you found the problem and got it fixed.

I too was taken in by your original post and thought it was a joke. And here I was thinking "oh, isn't she clever?"

And it was Edwina the whole time
