Hi Paul:

As I said, this is a long shot.

You can open AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS with
NOTEPAD from within Windows, or from a DOS
prompt with EDIT.COM.

From DOS, type:
EDIT  c:\autoexec.bat
and press ENTER.

Look for "ANSI.SYS" written anywhere.

Use CTRL+F then "X" to close EDIT.COM

Then do the same for CONFIG.SYS.

You might also check for (and examine) a file called
C:\DOSSTART.BAT
but you probably won't have one.

If no more leads appear, I think your keyboard
is damaged like mine was.  I see new replacements for
my Toshiba model still show up on eBay, but
laptops are notoriously hard to take apart.
I'm not afraid of mine anymore, but I can't
recommend doing-it-yourself to anybody but the
most adventurous.

Jerry
