Cat jumped on laptop. Help.

Janey51

My enormous cat decided to take a flying leap onto my laptop. Consequently, the keyboard is now showing (on the main bit)

qwerty456*[]
asdfgh123-'#
zxcvbn0,.+

Please tell me I haven't got to skin him alive.

I am typing this on my main PC which is in a freezing cold room instead of sitting by the fire with my laptop.
I am not at all techie minded

I have an Advent Laptop bought June 2007.
Any help please

Oh bum

Thank you.
How embarassing is that.
I bet I gave you all a good laugh.

everyone starts off as a numlock virgin, but once you know..

it is a common way of locking accounts out with the wrong password out on business laptops.

greentnotm's post and timing here was quite funny though

I may have to link back to here to explain that there tho ....:rotfl:

So....why has the bar at the top of the page disappeared unless I move the cursor over that area? The bit where the web address is. (I know there is a proper name for it but it escapes me)

Address bar - are you using IE 6 or 7 - any way drag it back to where you want it or look for a line of vertical dots to drag to expand

I too am the owner of a cat who has a fondness for flying leaps at my keyboard........hence my knowledge on such subjects

It's when you're about to place a bid on eBay and you see the little rascal crouched down and waggling his back end that you know you're in trouble.......before you know it, you've bid £4,000 for a used toilet roll holder....
