Can anyone help??? my year old daughter was caught pressing buttons on my computer this evening and so far this is what I have found she has managed to charge:
1. When you press caps lock, this number lock and scroll lock some on or off.
2. When online if you use your mouse it scrolls back & forth between pages instead of up and down the current pag.
3. The back arrow does not exist (not hightlighted)
4. If you click on a web page all the text highlights in blue
5. If you click on anything on a web page it opens a new page instead of changing pages.
Help, this is driving me crazy, what has she done and how can I fix it???
I run Windows XP home edition.

lol! seems like the buttons have been stuck down!
for point 5, i think its in the advanced options of the internet explorer settings somewhere
Use system restore to go back to yesterday and se eif everything works againThough the caps lock one could easily be a broken keyboard.. ensure scroll lock is off then try it.

She might have split something in the keyboard maybe?0

could be sticky keys... press shift five times in a row and turn it off.0
