Guest Unknown Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Re: CAPS LOCK and "A" Keys are identicAL! The keys are next to each other. Any chance there is dirt or crumbs there? Turn KB over and tap bottom lightly.

They may be stuck to each other somehow. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
