so my lap top only types words backwards. I thought it had something to do with the insert key but that didn't toggle it off. anyone know whats up? I can only type backwards messages here on the x.

huh? is there a delay before you finish each word?
how does it know what the last letter will be based on the first letter you type?
i dont get it. sounds like a virus, maybe?

instead of typing like normal it the curser stays in one place and slides all the words down. it's weird.

I'm gonna guess its a bad keyboard. Try a USB or PS2 external and see what happens.
If it still happens it is the keybo controller chip on the main board:(

Does it do the same in Firefox and IE? If it's isolated to one or the other, check that your character encoding is set to Western (ISO-8859-1).
Also, in Firefox, open a tab, type about:config in the address bar, then in the search filter box, type bidi and make sure bidi.browser.ui is set to false.
