USELESS I have tried zippy home site USELESS CANN somebody help please.A whole evenings flying time wasted trying to get this so===ng keyboard to work.Default keyboard works ok #hence this e-mailPlease someone save my sanity.AndyNo i havent post in the hardware section thought more might see it here ]POLOGIES a

May have sorted it chaps.NUM LOCK ON keyboard not like.Almost chopped my modgers of with a blunt axeandy

Time for lots of tea to calm you down a bit and to save those modgers.

Okay, Andy I am suffering from extreme curiosity here. I googled 'modgers' and 'modger' and found nothing satisfactory to explain your reference. Is this slang for a body part(s) or something else of a more inanimate nature? It is kind of like I just walked into a room where everyone is laughing at a joke I didn't get to hear. Regards,Mel

LOL, knowing Andy I would say that it is a made up word for some certain male body parts.

Hello FolksModger made up.But JS your right! I think.Sometimes my pc can drive me nuts.Here we have what is supposed to be the cutting edge in technology, and yet it can be so dammed cranky and SLOW to do anything , my room is criss crossed by cables for keyboards wires for routers and wires and cables for dammed everything that I seem to trip over on a regular basis (admittedly tripping increases in proportion to ale quaffing) not forgetting cables for speakers , for joysticks ,that inevitably get wound round cables for keyboards which in turn get caught on a half drunk can of coke WHICH gets pulled over and then what was half a can assumes the proportions of lake Ontario as the flood-waters of coke ,,beer etc head unerringly towards the power supply.CUTTING EDGEYour avin a laugh SIR!Cheers HWps The fact that my new glow in the dark keyboard was actually functioning perfectly correctly and it was me that had malfuntioned is beside the point ,its stuff, STUFF, DAMMED evil STUFF that always seems to conspire to make my life a misery.I am surprised that I have even managed to @*&^%^%% phutt ,whizz ,snizzle .

Thanks for the answer,....................,I think. Andy - HW, you may want to sharpen that axe and keep it near your seat (not your rear) in case you become ensnared, also a pair of wire cutters on a lanyard around your neck could help with a more speedy escape. I think you have the makings for horror movie plot, "Stuff, Damned Evil Stuff." Stay safe! I really don't want to have to read about a fellow Flight Simmer who died a slow death by being trapped in their hardware and cables! @ Jim, yes I was thinking probably something(s) south of the naval, but I needed to know for sure. Just in case I awoke late some night and found my wife hovering over the bed with a dull axe chanting," modgers, modgers, modgers, modgers." My best to all,Mel

MelThanks for your concern.I can happily report that calm and order has been restored in the house of Horatio.Cables tidied,keyboard glowing nicely ,and of course tea drunk.Andy
