I can't type on the internet what is wrong and how can I fix it?
I have a problem.I can use my keyboard anytime EXCEPT on the internet.If I type on the net it closes.The only way I can get anything onto the net is by using my notepad and cut and paste.But some sites it requires the keyboard.Whats wrong and how can I fix it.I ran for viruses.
If you are using notepad, you are probably using Windows, right?
If that is the case, the fix is quite easy: choose an OS and install it.
You can try Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora, then choose the one that suits you the best. This is the only fix to your problems. You may find another temporary fix, but more problems will come if you don't change your OS.
strange problem!
I am thinking somehow one or more of the keys on the keyboard are stuck and it give a command to close the internet browser?!
such as Alt F4 or Alt space-bar and C?? (but Only the browser? dont make sense?)
have you unplug your keyboard and re plug it? turn it upside down and hit the keys/shaking it? you'd be surprise what falls out of there !
Oh I bet you have a virus. reboot in safe mode with networking go to one of those online free virus cleaning site (like pandasecurity, etc,) and let it do its thing for couple of hours.
I bet if u look in msconfig/startup there are bunch of unknown .exe files...(but not necessarily)
