    whenever I push enter instead of making a new paragraph, it does nothing where I am typing but a window comes up to edit my balance between performance and battery life? Anyone have any ideas? The twins were banging on my keyboard and now this is what is happening.

    I'm sorry I can't help. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something simple like hitting Ctrl Alt F4 Delete Esc LOL. Maybe you could make some money by hiring your kids out as testers to computer companies? Wink

    Sounds like a command or function key is stuck. Probably not the plastic key itself, but the part beneath it.

    What type of computer are you using?

    Check the F1 key and any FN key.

    I have the same laptop. He's right, those keys do get stuck from time to time. I've had to pop off the keys a few times to unstick 'em.

    My mother has that laptop. I just upgraded it to Windows 7. It's running so must faster now. I recommend upgrading. Wink
