As I had told you in my previous discussion,the keyboard of my pc had gone out of order and I bought a new keyboard from Amazon.But the new keyboard also was not functioning well.As a result I had to be inactive on Mylot for a week. Today,just ten minutes back,one of my friends came to see me.When I told him about my problem,he caste a glance on the new keyboard and smiled.Pointing to a key on the keyboard he said,'This key is scroll lock.I am pressing it.' And he pressed the key mildly and said,'Your problem is solved,dear.Now interact on your favourite site as much as you like.' I was amazed.Started typing in disbelief.He was right.The keyboard was functioning well. He had solved my problem within a fraction of a second.

I dont even know what scroll lock does. So I looked it up, something I totally don't use!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The scroll-lock key with activated indicator light on an IBM keyboard. Scroll lock (? or ?) is a lock key (typically with an associated status light) on most IBM-compatible computer keyboard

I use to be an internet master at some point of time. I use to help my friends to solve their internet problems in a quickie. Recently I am so wind up in my life that I have slowed down working online searching for jobs etc. I try to come up as frequent as I can nowdays to search some online jobs. I am really glad your problem is solved.

You had scroll lock on. Turned it off and you are set to go.
