    Well, technology seems to hate me right now.

    Ok then, so my keyboard on my laptop is being a bitch. Every now and then it just stops working. It won't do anything. I can bash the crap into it, and it won't type a single thing. I can highlight whatever random text may pop up, but can't type ANYTHING or do any functions whatsoever.

    Any idea as to what is wrong with it? I have to keep restarting in order to actually carry on talking to people/surfing the net, and it's a pain.

    I don't think I've heard of that before. Perhaps try reinstalling drivers, if possible.

    Might be a good idea to try to use the onscreen keyboard, if needed. :p

    That wouldn't be terribly useful seeing as I use it in school, but thankyou ^_^

    I think it's stopped being evil now. I'm blaming Windows Live Messenger. It all worked fine until I installed that
