I bought a mini for my kids & their ipods and also to try out a mac to see if I wanted to switch (I do!).

The problem...we have 4 users on the system, 2 adults & 2 kids with our own log in screens. My oldest boy has done something to where the number keys will not work under his login...he says the numbers will not work when he types in search engines, on yahoo's website and maybe others (16 years old - hates to communicate).

The other 3 log in names have no trouble at all with the number keys. Does this make sense? I am decent with windows, but feel like a total dumb @$$ right now with this problem.

Have any ideas? I have thought about deleting his account and making a new one for him, but knowing him, it will happen again.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry this is so long & have a Happy & safe 4th!

Take care,
Baldman

I wish it was that simple...like I said, it is only under his user id, the other 3 users have no trouble at all.

Thanks for the link D3v1L80Y...am a new user and was lost. I tried a search before posting, but it didn't help me much. I have alot to learn.

The problem occured with any search engine, whether you used the numbers at the top of the keyboard or the numbers key pad.

I was really wanting to try and figure this out, but the problem beat me, so had to delete that user and added it again.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Take care,
Baldman
