Curses!
I’ve just spent ALL morning trying to solve a little issue with my new Super Duper computer. The problem was, admittedly, a strange one – mind you, with me, computer problems usually are. Drop down menus in the web browser would only drop down for the briefest of flashes – not even a second – but I was able to type into the field and make a selection that way. And my 3D art software continually scrolled into the distance when I looked at the viewer, or tabbed in turn through the individual workspace tabs, not allowing me to click on one and do anything.
I closed all programs and reopened them – the problem was still there.
I restarted the computer and restarted the programs – the problem was still there.
I switched off the computer and unplugged it from the wall socket, switched it back on again, reopened the programs, and the problem was STILL there.
I was reaching the point of exasperation. I’ve just installed a new driver for my graphics, and pondered if this were the problem. My eyes glanced over to my little Angel statue I have beside my keyboard and just in front of it I noticed a charger cable running across the top right corner of the keyboard. Running across the ‘-‘ key in the top right corner. Pressing down the ‘-‘ key in the top right corner of the keyboard.
I moved the cable. Reopened the programs. All now OK. Problem solved.
This was an ID 10T error.
Pesky cables – always catching me out!

Incredibly . . . especially since humans seem to be designed not to notice this type of flaw!!

Just reading about computer issues paralizes me. I guess you can surmise I fear it. : )
Glad you found the issue. Have a super stressless weekend.

I don’t like trying to sort things out with then, Isadora. I always seem to manage it in the end, but it is a whole lot of time wasted!

I was very grateful of the help, VK… even if I felt rather silly a couple of seconds later! 😀

ARGH! I hate it when I have one of those ID10T errors! Still, though, I guess a laugh at ourselves is better than no laugh at all… 😉
