    This is embarrasing

    SincoTC, You hit it right on the head. I started using a new Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. Love it but it does have a short coming, no indicator lights so you have to hit a key to check it's status. Sure enough it was the damn NUM LOCK key. Thanks guys for the quick response. Dennis...
