I thought I'd post one more time here, just because you're all so helpful...

I put the same question on another forum, same wording, and got two responses; the first asked if I needed to download drivers for the keyboard, not an unreasonable request. I have a Saitek Eclipse that comes with a driver disk for an extra keypad, so I can understand that.

But the second post was on the money... the number lock wasn't on, and the 'alt' button would do a page forward or backward, depending on the number. This was within 24 hours of posting, and even before I read it I figured out the problem. I noticed the num lock wasn't on, and found it disabled in the BIOS.

Your responses were so far off in left field it was incredible. You're an IT specialist, Zoron? Wow, I don't know what field you specialize in, but "use/buy a standard keyboard" is hardly showing off your knowledge.

Stupid comeback of the day: "Since you're so intellectually superior to the rest of us, you should have had the solution before you even asked the question." -Zoron
If I wanted to quiz you, I'd have posted here more often and amused myself to no end. It's not about intellectual superiority, its about READING THE POST AND GIVING AN EDUCATED RESPONSE. Makes me wonder who quizzed you when you took the A+ certification course and other IT courses...

You don't have to worry about me coming back here, I've found another forum where people can read English and respond in a knowledgeable fashion.

Wow.

Just wow.

All that, and you didn't have the num-lock on? Excuse me, but who are you trying to call an idiot again?

Num-lock. You see, I figured you were intelligent enough to realize that, but I suppose I gave you too much credit. That was actually the first thing that crossed my mind... but I thought "Nah... can't be... he HAS to know that the num-lock HAS to be ON."

Oh well. I suppose I won't take for granted that someone supposedly smarter than me would realize he needs his num-lock on to actually use his numerical keypad on his mini-keyboard... one that functions exactly the way a laptop keyboard would...

Seriously... you're still in here trying to insult me despite how utterly stupid you've acted throughout this entire thread. I am absolutely amazed you have the unmitigated gall to insult me over something you should have caught yourself.

Your two statements don't match up. You call me an idiot, yet you forgot to turn on the num lock. I don't think that states much for your intelligence or state of mind either. So you can keep trying to salve your pride by calling me and idiot, and insulting cheez, Tony and Zoron, but if you really want to get into a war of insults, don't f*ck with me.

Besides, what advice did I give you that would make you think I'm stupid. I just truthfully pointed out flaws in your personality. And as for the typing for dummy's book, one of the chapters notes checking for any function keys that may be enabled, such as the sticky keys, or the num lock.
In short, I hope everyone gets to see how much of an a**hole (and moron) you are.

Thank you for pissing me off on my vacation. Expect yourself to be reported.

CHEEZball: By 'nm', I'll assume (at the risk of making an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me') that you mean 'nevermind' because you read my tirade without looking at the topic and reading the posts.

I didn't even see that till it was mentioned that i was insulted


actually my "nm" was a edited post by which i was going to tell you to see if your function key was disabling your numlock, then i thought about it for a split second and decided not to help your ass :)
