Text won't delete and cursor does odd things
Help. On my laptop when I select text in a sentence and hit backspace or
delete, the text isn't deleted, or if it is the cursor then moves to the end of the sentence. If I put the cursor in the middle of a word and hit backspace it deletes the letter to the left of the cursor but then the cursor moves quickly to the end of the sentence. Most of the time when I insert the cursor in between two letters in a word it won't even stay there and moves quickly to the end of the sentence. This is a pain and I've never had anything like this happen and i don't know diddley about computers....can anyone help me? Desparate PS I have an IBM R 50 and have XP Professional |
