hi there,
as in my post title, my "insert" key is permanently in "depressed" mode. No
it's not having mood swings (!!), it just acts as if I'm always pressing it
although I'm not. I know this because: 1) continuous beeps issue at start up
like when you're pressing a key that you shouldn't be pressing, and 2)
everytime I start Word the insert mode keeps flickering on and off rapidly,
causing me to overwrite erratically when I intend to insert instead.
Does anyone know if there's some combination of keys (some combi using Ctrl,
Alt, Tab?) that locks other keys? I suspect I may have hit the combi cos
those 3 function keys were in heavy use just before the problem started 3
days ago. I've been trying random combis but none of them have solved the
problem so far. (I'm running a Win XP).

Thanks for reading and very grateful for any help
