    No, I can't.  The cursor goes immediately to the end of the line.  My gut tells me it's some kind of Java exploit.  It's the only thing that makes sense.  Can I delete java on it from one of the other computers on network or will that just infect the other computer, too?

    I don't think java would do anything.

    When you say the cursor goes to the end of the line, what do you mean?

      If you put your cursor in the address bar, it lets you type.  If I click up there, it acts like my spacebar is stuck and races all the way across to the end of the line.

      Interesting...... So how come you can't System Restore? This is awfully confusing.  :-X

      If it seems to be a Keyboard problem, can you try another one? Preferably a PS/2 keyboard (round end)

        The first thing I did was unplug the keyboard and throw it.  I'm calm and patient like that.  No keyboard, new keyboard same issue.  The only thing left is a haunting.  I'm at a loss.

        If another desktop doesnt work....

        I think you could try re-formating....
        It is a big step, I know, but it may be your only option.

        If you can, backup all your personal data first, as re-formating will erase everything to the day you got the PC.

          I have 3 other computers in the house.  Another computer can help?

          You could try removing the Hard Drive out of the damaged computer and hooking it up to another computer as a Slave.
          Then you can run the scans.

          You up for it?

          Also try plugging the keyboard and mouse into the other PC, and see if you still have the problem.

            You're killing me here!  lol  Hmmmm.....  I'd have to make sure the other computer is more protected than Fort Knox before I attempt this, right?

            Lol, maybe. It could be a virus, and it may not. It may be contagious, it may not.

            What antivirus do you have on it?

            Just do a virus scan on all the files, without opening them.
