Help Please

[la_samtyr]

Last night the dsl went out around 7pm;of course I thought it was Vista being a hoor again, so this morning I called the tech for help setting up my XP.

*Very* long story short, XP has an on-screen keyboard enabled -- which renders all normal keyboards useless. Do we want to talk about what a *f'n pain* it is using a mouse to point-and-click type this way? No, We Do Not! [and yes, i know that i should be more tolerant and less whiny and stuff but ya know what? i don't f'n care! iwant a regular keyboard again!]

So if anyone has any idea to turn this damned thing off or better yet uninstall it altogether, please *please* let me know!!!

I can at least tell you where that option is found on my computer - maybe from there you can figure out how to kill it.
Start menu> all programs > accessories > accessibility > on screen keyboard.

I had no idea xp had an on screen keyboard :D

I wouldn't use it though.

Maybe if you go into the accessibility options in control panel you can get rid of it. This page: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/oskturnonuse.aspx tells you how to get onscreen keyboard started - maybe by following it you can also turn it off?

That sounds terribly annoying!

But I am afraid I've got no help, I am not very tech savvy :( I can only say I feel for you, and hope you're able to fix it soon.
