Now, many of my keys are shortcut keys. For example, 'L' now disconnect me and "N" takes me to the computer. I can no longer use the keyboard.

My big cat crossed my laptop keyboard Dell (with Vista) and now many of my key take me in crazy places. This happens in all programs. I can't use the keyboard to type. Is anyone know how it happened and how to fix it?  Thank you very much

Hi Ruby94947,

Things you want to try:

O examine your keyboard for any accumulation of dust, dirt, liquids or other particles that could be causing the keys to type characters.

Ø Disengagethe (FN) key on the keyboard, make sure that the led of the button turns off.

O check if your number lock (NumLock) key is enabled. If so, the key to disengage.

O confirm that your keyboard is set to the English language.

1. open regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking clock, language, and region, and then clicking regional and Language Options.

2. click on the keyboards and languages tab and then click on change keyboards.

Make sure that the keyboard is set to the English language.

If the problem persists, contact DELL for assistance.
