computer questions for dummy's

It might have gotten something spilled in it?
Clean it with canned air or if you think you can do it, take it apart and see if there is something else causing keys to stick.

Maybe the keyboard driver has been changed or corrupted?

Do a re-install and see if problem persists

Dear Ralph,
Take care. May be some troll of this forum trying to remotely install an undetectable keylogger. See here:

An excellent reason do not surf on Internet in any Cybercafé and any airport WiFi spot.

I wish to thank all who replied to my key board dilemma.

I disassembled it only to find that it is of a spill proof design with each key being installed in a moisture proof pedestal. I Blew it out with compressed air, visual checked key switches and printed circuit board all to no avail.

Hewlett Packard (HP) does not have a reputation for good technical representation and I could not find a driver update without paying the price of a new keyboard.

I finally gave up and purchased a new wireless which has a similar key lay out as my old one. This is not working out to my liking either. I have a metal pencil drawer mounted underneath my keyboard tray which is blocking the signal to the USB antenna. Works great if I set the keyboard on my lap!

Hello Gordy! Long time no hear!

Appreciate the link to ebay, but the layout of that keyboard is not what I was looking for.


After my last entry I received a PM with a link to an exact duplicate of my original, choice of new or refurbished.

I will order it, just as soon as my wife's temper cools from buying two boards and now going for a third!

Any one here familiar with; Google Sketchup [sketchupdate@google.com]

Wondering if this would make for a good beginners app for drawing?

comments appreciated,

Ralph

[LustInBlack]

Yes.

And .. Yes..

Why? Because there are a ton of plugins and tutorials about the app, you can't lose.

I hope someone will be able to help me help someone else!

A pure Spanish talking member from another energy group is needing some animations for 2D designs.

If a picture worth 1000 words and since he's a bit clever in translators, the communication will be not so hard. If needed I can easily send a support.

He's also planing to publish a book.

I still don't know his work.

Can someone help, please?
Thanks a lot!

Due to ever increasing land line phone bills I have been searching for an alternative system using 'Stand Alone' DSL high speed service'

To achieve this I have been looking at the following options and wondering which is the best route.

Magic Jack
Talk.net
Vonage World International

I am looking for feed back and opinions before making my choice. At present Vonage World International is looking more appealing, it allows me to retain my existing land line #

Your comments; Please

I recently received three animated videos from a former member that I found impressive. They were done on an application called 'Blender' and open with MS Media-player, which you can put in cycle mode and speed up or slow down the frame time. There is no need for a third party such as YouTube.

'Blender' is a free source download @ http://www.google.com/search?q=blender+ ... =firefox-a

A great application for private collaboration between members.

If you are familiar with this application, feed back is desired.
