[RESOLVED] Keyboard & mouse weirdness
This was a new one on me...last nite the mouse suddenly decided not to scroll down a page...then shortly thereafter just froze up. Okay, I said, it was just a $10.00 optical mouse ...Microinv co....got it at WalMart...probably just need to get another mouse...no big deal. So I hooked up my other Microsoft laser and all was okay....until this morning. This laser mouse started changing web page whenever I tried to use the scroll wheel...I think that it was going backward to previous page...not sure about that, though.
I went into the mouse properties thinking that there was a setting for that feature that had somehow turned itself on...(computer possessed...ha !). But nothing there.
I have two systems hooked up with a KVM switch..thought I would switch over to other system and see what happens...same scroll problem.
Then....I realized that the caps lock function on the keyboard was backwards...caps lock gave small caps...caps lock off gave large caps...!
Okay..this was really getting to be kinda weird!
I Googled...not any info...
I re-booted my system and mouse & keyboard cleared up...strange...!!
The original optical mouse is working again..keyboard is not dyslexic anymore...weird...
I thought I would pass this weird situation along.
