Hi there,

Something odd has started to happen with MS Word. Holding down a key no longer causes the program to fire off repeated characters; like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

It happens with all the keys, delete included so it's a bit of a pain!

I'm sure this is something embarassingly simple. Can anyone help?

cheers! Dave

Power down the computer and try another keyboard.

Ummmmmm nice one. New keyboard was not required.

Off-and-on does it again . . . sigh

Sorry, but your reply isn't clear to me. Is it working right or not, now?
