Help! Before I go totally around the bend today can anyone tell me why I suddenly should not be able to delete email messages? I use Outlook Express V6. It was working OK earlier but has decided to ignore the delete key (message is highlighted correctly). Thanks, Wendy

Hi Wendy, I can think of one possibility. If you're using the DEL key below the numeric keypad at the right hand end of the keyboard (between the "INS" and the ENTER key), you may have accidentally hit the"NUM LOCK" key. On a normal keyboard that will turn on the num lock LED and change the function of that DEL key to tyhat of a decimal point. Toggle the num lock key and try again. If you're using the other DEL key above the navigation (the four arrow) keys. I can't think of anything at the moment.
