    wow, i read that pretty easily.

    Next time, do what i do when a key doesn't work:
    1. use your mouse to select a space from a webpage or some other place.
    2. copy it to the clip-board
    3. where ever you need it just press Ctrl-V to paste it

    Start > Accessories> Accessibility> On Screen Keyboard

    Problem Solved.

    To fix keyboard : Turn off pc > flip Keyboard upside down> bang it on the desk till all the crud falls out of the Keyboard.

    Alternant fix > Fill Bath Tub Full of hot water> Unplug Keyboard> take it to the tub> rinse the keyboard out and let it soak in the water for an hour or so> Hang it out on the close line to dry for a day or 2. Your keyboard should be good as new.

    Yes I have given my keyboard a bath before. And yes it does work the trick is to let it dry out good.

    (using cut paste space method)

    can you give a wireless keyboard a bath? or is there different electronics in it?

    i was thinking the same thing about the glove post while i was writing it

    yes, around once a year i take my keyboard apart and bath all the keys, dump all the trash out, let the keys dry and reassemble it.

    Go to CompUSA on Black Friday and get in on the free (after MIR) Memorex Spillproof Keyboard. Only $6 up front, with a $6 MIR. It would cost that to ship one to you...

    Of course, I wouldn't wish having to fight the Black Friday crowds on anyone... </shudders>

    Bring a big stick or club...

    is this contageous? now my spacebar is broken(though obviously not on this box)

    of course, it could be because my cat spilled water all over it. i let it dry for 4 days, and the only key that dosen't work is the space bar. wireless keyboard too. and i don't have a wired one long enough to reach...

    time to go shopping i guess!

    Hmmmm....Keyboads breaking down all over the world. I think Revil might be behind this one. I know he's been plotting for a while now.....such evilness

    I got the black memorex keyboard with the fast keys, and though it looks cool.. i have found it doesn't like it when I play Counterstrike.. as I hit 3 buttons at the same time.. it stops working and beeps (just for a second though) and then it works again.. I have had this problem with other keyboard, but my Dell QuietKey didn't do that at all.. Also, the space bar doesn't like to work everytime.. (though better than my dell which didn't work at all either.. and let me tell you I had to quit posting on here when that happened because the On Screen Keyboard took WAY too long to post a message.. heh..)

    But, g/l man.. lots of choices on black friday.. just get there before the mob does.. heh

    I just want my damn gamecube with mario sunshine for 149.. *drool* metroid finally!!!!


    heh
