Selected objects not erased when DELETE key pressed

Dear experts,
Everybody knows selected objects erased when DELETE key pressed. but it's not the case for me.
"Pickfirst" variable is set to 1 .
I'm using Acad 2004.
Thank you very much

RE: Selected objects not erased when DELETE key pressed

Check to make sure the layer the objects are on is not locked. And that the file itself is not read only.
I also use 2004 and the only time I can't delete something is if I have locked the layer and forgot that I did it.
Good luck.

Dear Bruce,
Thank you very much for your reply.
But these are not the problem.
I have this problem even for a new file!.

RE: Selected objects not erased when DELETE key pressed

rezfloyd,

if you turn NUM lock off, then it works. Sometimes.
Which WIN are You running? XP? Maybe You should install the servicepacks.
I think, that's not an ACAD problem.

best regards, Lothar

Dear Lothar,
Thank you very much. I turned the NUM lock off and it worked.
I'm using Win XP Pro version 2002 with service pack 1.
I use the same Windows with the same Acad in two different computer, but I had this problem only in one of them.
May be it's a hardware isue.
Best regards,
Reza

Does the other delete key work?  Most keyboads have two.

Dear IFRs
None Del keys work unless the Num Lock key is off.
I found out some key combination doesn't work in other programs (e.x. AlT+Left key to select text in FAR Program).
I think I have some problem in keyboard driver or so.
Thanks
