hi everyone,
first off i just want to say that i am terrible with computers - and unfortunately have a huge problem, my keyboard doesn't work.
as far as i can tell, i am usng an hp pavilion entertainment laptop running on vista. my keyboard says that it's a 'hid keyboard device.'
when i go to my control panel and click on keyboard it says that it is working properly, but in reality it isn't working at all
what happened was this...
i was working on microsoft word last night typing out a document very fast when all of a sudden asi typed out a word correctly -it would appear on the document with three consecutive letters. for exampl if i typed the word 'after' it woul come out on the screen as 'aaafter'
i ignored the problm and kpt on working. however, as i was working i noticed that the light on my 'caps lock' key was on. it didn't matter how many times i presed it, the caps lock key remained on.
i continued working on ms word all night without any other roblems. i went to bed really late and didn't bother turnig my computer off, instead i just closed the screen.
this morning when i tried to log on my mouse on the laptop didn't work so i just plugged in a physical mouse into the computer. next when i tried to type in my log-in password the keyboard would not work at all. i also noticed that the caps lock light is still on.
i clicked on the little blue option box in the left-hand corner and selected the on-sceen keyboard. i ued this to type in my password.
now that i'm on my desktop-i still can't use my keyboard at all and the caps lock key still appears to be on. i ran the systems-restore but it didn't fix anything.
help please
