Cursor problem

[6br]

Hi Folks,
HELP!!!!! Don't know much about computers. Lately when I hit the space bar, it moves my cursor to the next line, as if I had hit the enter key. Any body have any ideas that a computer novice could try???
Thanks,
Larry

To the next line in what program?

Hi Photolady,

It happens most of the time when I am using my email ( mozilla), and also on Microsoft Word. It was aggravating me to death a couple of weeks ago, then it stopped for about a week, then it started it again. I've never heard anybody talking about a problem like this. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks very much!

I just figured out that it acts up when I hit the reply button and then type above the original email. When I type below it it doesn't act up. It never has done that until lately. And I've had the computer and software like it is for over a year now. Ideas???

Do you have another keyboard you can use to eliminate this isn't your keyboard? Because that's what it sounds like is the problem. If it was just Word, the it would only happen in Word, but you say it does it in your email also. That says it's probably a hardware problem.

Thanks, I'll try that.
