stuck in caps lock mode...
Don't know if it's a software or hardware problem.
Whenever I start to do a lot of typing, my computer get stuck in caps lock mode and will not revert back to lower case... even thought I keep switching back and forth it gets 'stuck'. Also, if I highlight a phrase to cut, it will stay in highlighted mode and not release me... have to reboot it order to get it to stop..
Have a Dim 4600c, only 6 months old.. Have Word perfect pre-installed...
Happens in all types of typing programs.. word pad, ie6, mail...
Not sure where the bug is or how to stop it...with out having to reboot..
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Word perfect but did not solve the problem...
Any suggestions??
Tks in advance..

I experienced the same thing. This would happen when my keyboard filter was accidentally turned on by holding the shift key down for several seconds.
Check help under "keyboard filter." I don't remember what I did, but I made some changes to the way the keyboard filter works and have not had the problem recur. Good luck!
