I know it's hard to believe, but I'm having yet ANOTHER problem with my main PC.

My 2yr old was banging on the keyboard with one of his toys and actually managed to knock the entire keyboard drawer off of my workstation. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] I didn't think much about it until I tried to connect to the internet a little later.

Somehow, my entire desktop is now totally screwed up. When I clicked on the Shortcut Icon for my internet connection, it took me to MY DOCUMENTS instead of bringing up my dial-up pop screen. [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] This actually happened once before a few days ago, but I managed to stumble around and reverse whatever it was he did that time. But not this time. This time, it seems like the internal configurations for the keyboard itself are completely screwed.

For instance, my CAPS LOCK key is REVERSED now. When it is "off", my keyboard is actually set to "CAPS LOCK" mode. And I can't get my numeric keypad to work AT ALL. Not even the numbers across the top. NONE of my numeric keys work AT ALL.

This is NOT a problem with the keyboard itself (I switched keyboards to see). It actually is set INSIDE my main PC. I now have NO WAY of accessing the internet through that PC, because when I finally DID get my dial-up screen to appear, I keep getting an ERROR 691: Username and/or password invalid. Once I figured out that my CAPS LOCK was reversed, I thought THAT might solve the problem (since I apparantly typed my password in ALL CAPS when I thought it was in lower case), but that didn't fix the problem. So I finally decided to just set up a new connection and re-enter everything from scratch. THAT'S when I found out that NONE of my numeric keys are working...so there is no way to enter the phone number for my modem to dial.

As a good friend of mine is prone to say, this is enough to make me want to chew off my own foot. I am SO FRIGGIN FED UP with the problems I'm having with this machine. One thing I plan to do is call PC Store #1 back and tell them I want a replacement for this POS Motherboard they installed on my system. I'm normally not the kind of guy to get ugly or mean when dealing with employees in a store, but I'm about ready to give the owner a good ole Southern cussing for the CRAP I've put up with since bringing my machine to his shop to be upgraded. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] I've had NOTHING but problems since going to them.

Well, if anybody has a suggestion about how to fix this latest problem, I would appreciate. If not, just tell me where I can buy a good chainsaw and uzi and I'll handle the problem in another way.
