I have been getting a problem here with my PC, when I went to Outlook Express it would jump to a different folder, when I opened the C drive it would jump to Desktop folder, when I opened the 2nd Drive it would jump to the Desktop folder, I would click it back and went straight back again, Geez I was getting stroppy, near to the point of reformatting the C drive, when I typed text to an Email all of a sudden the cursor went in reverse and erased it , Now if anyone does experience this problem here is the remedy, TAKE YOUR JACKET OFF if the bloody sleeve hangs over the key board and keeps jabbing the BACKSPACE BUTTON,
Geez I felt like a D/Head .......GGrrr

You silly bugger, didn't you read all my post , I found out what the problem was , My jacket sleeve was the virus because here in a caravan I dont have a proper desk , I have to reach over the keyboard to operate the mouse and I the jacket sleeve was jabbing the backspace button , took me near all the morning to find that out .

Hi Doug
I've read this thread twice now and laughed my head off each time because I can relate so
well to it "from personal experience".
The best part is you even managed to find the remedy. Maybe a job in the IT Dept is next? LOL
Cheers

ROFL ......... and its not friday either .... I read that twice and still laughing lol.
You think you had problems my daughter (twisted humour) would change a couple of keys on my key board IE M to the N spot or E to the R spot. I have trouble spelling at the best of times but that checks your mental out I can tell you.
