    Posted: 25 June 2007 at 1:49pm
I have a laptop and have managed to press a button on the keyboard (don't ask me which key I mistakenly pressed!) and now my scroll up and down and side to side arrows don't scroll when I press them (for example when I am in excel). When pressed they open a new folder or something like that. I have been persevering with tabing along etc, but now it is annoying me and I am sure someone would be able to help to get them back to scrolling? I am pretty up to speed with computers and this is probably something really simple to fix, but I feel so dumb asking this question

Anyone know how to help me please??

My husband just said maybe the shift button was held down. He thinks to fix it you hold shift down again. Sorry, prob not much help, hope you get it sorted soon

On the top of your keyboard, where the F1, F2 etc are, look towards the right past F12 - there should be a button saying something like "SckrLk" - scroll lock. Just press that and you'll be sweet

Oh yay, tried a few options using the key you indicated yummymummy and its all fixed now, by holding down the "fn" key and the "scroll" key! Knew it would be simple

Thanks for your help yummymummy!

Glad it's done. I too sometimes press it by mistake - it can be quite annoying!
