    Any suggestions about how to fix system when it seems suddenly that the up or down arrow key doesn't move cursor. Instead, I have to use the right screen slider. Ordinarily, I click on the page, which activates the screen, and I can type, but the up or down arrow key suddenly stops working. This can occur when using word processing program ( I write with WP), or it can be when I am on internet, and want to page down. PgUp and PgDn also don't work.

    Fix is a warm boot - restart, that requires about 2.5 minutes. Gets old.

    New computer - less than one month. Have noticed this for several weeks, although in the first week I was so preoccupied with removing the crappeth that comes with machine and reinstalling Office and other software, and wasn't using system has heavily as I do now

    Thanks
