Help Needed - What Has My Daughter Done To My Computer???

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 :p

    Use system restore to go back to yesterday and se eif everything works again :) Though the caps lock one could easily be a broken keyboard.. ensure scroll lock is off then try it.
