pecunium

My computer has decided it hates me.

An HP Pavillion dv8000.

One of the reasons I got it was the extended keyboard.

One of the things I've discovered I use a lot (what with all the reading I do online) is the scrolling functions the keypad has when numlock isn't in play.

Last night thost stopped behaving. I am certain that in the course of some other application, I pressed some magic combination of keys, but now they (and the cursor keys) control, not the scroll funtions, but an actual cursor.

Where this cursor decides to manifest in the page will determine it's behavior.

In main body text, it sort of scrolls. It's got some lag, while it gets to the top, or bottom, of the screen.

In sidebar text it jumps from the last bit, to the end, with nothing in between.

The dedcated page up/down screens still work, but that's no good for trying to look a graph, or an image. I have to use the trackball on my mouse.

So far I've not figured out either how I did it, nor found any documentation telling what to do to fix it/set preferences.
