Guest KateKelly Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have a laptop and recently loaded a bunch of music into the media center. It copied everything from My Documents. I started deleting everything that wasn't a music file until I read the entire question which asked if I wanted to delete this from my "PC". I thought it was deleting from the media folder with the music. I've had trouble since then. Maybe this is related. When I type on the keyboard it appears backwards if I type "Kate" it shows up "etak". The letters are not backwards, just the words. I've managed to get good at typing backwards but it's time to fix it. Any thoughts? Thanks - Kate
Guest Khartoum Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 RE: typed words are appearing backwards Unfortunately, i dont think that is a PC problem, it sounds like your keyboard controller has gone, not that its any help but try plugging a USB keyboard into the laptop, you could use that until you find an alternative solution.

Guest Khartoum Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 RE: typed words are appearing backwards Sorry Kate, Just try this first - uninstall the drivers for the keyboard, reboot and let it reinstall itself.

You should find that thread and make responses to the suggestions there. Use Google Groups Advanced Search and search for your name in the microsoft.public.* newsgroups. One of the suggestions was that you had some sort of Arabic/Hebrew language pack or program installed. None of this has anything to do with your music.

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore No keystrokes involved. Bill

The Hebrew and Arabic languages do type right to left. If nothing else, set it to another language and then back to English to see if that fixes it.
