Hi I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this I hope so

W I recently noticed that when posting messages on say this forum or Ebay search if I make an error like thisp I can go back to it using the left arrow key but the delete key will not work as in thid exampel I cannot corrrect it.

Hope I have explained the problem ok.

The delete key works ok in web address if I miss type I can move back and delete it but not on this forum or ebay or other search boxes

Regards

Does the Backspace key work?

Do you have another keyboard that you could try temporarily?

Try using the Backspace key.

All it takes is one.

Hi, yes the back space works ok (didn't think to try before) also I tried using another

keyboard and that has the same problem so the keyboards must be ok, unless both are

clapped out. I perhaps checked the wrong box somewhere but apart from that I

haven't a clue. Any info ideas much appreciated.

You might try uninstalling the Keyboard in Device Manager, then reboot. When Windows starts, it'll automatically set it up again.

I'm not sure what your problem is now. Both keyboards work the same and that seems right. Backspace does the job so use it. I've used nothing but the Backspace for around 20 years now.

I do not use backspace. I have always used the highlight button and delete or by placing the pointer and then deleting. Any problem that I have right now is that I will use backspace if I choose to, and not be forced to use it because I cannot get what must be a minor glitch sorted.

I uninstalled both keyboards but the problem remains.

My thanks to all for your help and assistance.

regards

Does it work like it should in "Safe mode"?
