Hi Alan, I tried this, and If I hit it hard couple times it works. Maybe some more hitting hard will fix it permanently, but for now at least it works. Thanks again. Barb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Dicey" <[email protected]>

Dear Barbara,
I know this sounds ridiculous, but since you are planning to purchase a new keyboard anyway, you have nothing to lose!
What worked for me more than once, is:

I went crazy on the key, that did not work!
Like I mean a Woody Wood Pecker, on steroids!

Hit it about 20 times hard, with your finger of course, what do you have to lose!

Seriously, I did this a couple of times on keys that nothing else worked to get them working, and
Eureka!

Worked!

Good Luck!

With Best Regards,
Alan

make sure its not working. open the browser and bring up a web page, before it comes in all the way. Hit the escape key and see if it stops. If that stops, then your problem is with the mail layout and not the key.

Hi I was always able to push escape button to leave an e mail. Now, I have to push alt f4 everytime. Do I need a new keyboard? It's the only key not functioning. Thanks Barbara
