I was doing my usual lean on the keyboard, trying to do something like typing up a storm and my fingers must have got all excited with whatever garble I was typing at the moment and slipped and this system popup announced that I must be impaired somehow ( even the machine knows!) It kept on announcing that, I´d try to ignore it and send it away, now I have to hit the apostrophe key twice to get one, if I don´t I get umlauts like é and the numpad doesn´t respond. This is making me crazy, I´ve reset the language to English and keyboard to generic, and yet this continues. There must be some obscure file someplace that says I am handicapped, or morally bankrupt, and type with chopsticks or something. I forget the name of the popup, but I would like to get rid of it and itś little dog. It complained of my key-press combinations. Well, it´s my damn keyboard and I think it would be better if the system ignores how I abuse it, since I never learned to type. <cackles> Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ...the Sin of Ignorance, and ...the Sin of Stupidity.
