DS has pressed something & now keyboard doesn't work - Help

[Rosieglow]

DS has been playing on the laptop and has pressed some random button and now the keyboard will not type anything (letters or numbers) and when you click on shortcuts you open the properties menu instead. Help! I've had to borrow DHs pc to type this and now he wants it back - will check later for ideas.

thanks

It's difficult to give any ideas without more information as it depends on the make and model of laptop.

I presume you have tried rebooting it.

Tis working now - no idea why! It's a Toshiba BTW.

I was trying to avoid rebooting it as I knew it would come up to the login password screen which when you can't type anything would be a bit of a problem! Anyway, in the time it took me to post here, it went to sleep and got to that page anyway - which I then couldn't get out of as the password wouldn't type.

But it has just decided to work again (after doing some random typing over the keyboard). Maybe one of the keys was stuck down or something.

Thanks for looking at the thread anyway.
