Could this be a virus?
I have a Compaq laptop and about every 10 minutes or so the NUM LOCK button
turns itself on and I have to manually shut it off. Also, I have an external keyboard hooked-up to the laptop and the NUM LOCK key on it does the same thing. I it does it periodically even if no keys were touched. I am sure I'm not causing it to happen unintentionally. -- Thanks in advance... Bob

Dunno about a virus, but there could be a short in the keyboard controller
circuit on the motherboard. HH "Bob Newman" wrote in message news:H852d.48496$mu.33299@okepread07...

Yuck! Don't even think THAT! It's 4 months old.

Well, it's under warranty then.
