Writing Emails When writing Yahoo Emails the letters don't appear on screen at the same time as the keys are pressed. There seems to be a short delay. Also whilst writing an Email the whole thing freezes for a short period. This is a new computer and I've cleaned the hard drive but it makes no difference. I have no problem with typing this message or any other. Is this a Yahoo problem ?

The setup is in your AOL software, it is nothing to do with your laptop as AOL uses the browser for this function.

On a laptop, the "Num Lock" key has a function slightly different than the one it performs on full-d desktop keyboards. Activating "Num Lock" on a laptop usually transforms a set of central keys, including many letters, into number keys, allowing typists used to entering numbers on a keypad to type efficiently. While on desktop keyboards "Num Lock" usually has a dedicated key, on laptops it often shares a key with another function on MacBooks, for example, it shares the "F6" key and you must hold down the "Shift" or "Fn" key to activate it.

Look for the "Num Lock" key on your laptop's keyboard. This is usually near the top of the keyboard. If the key says nothing on it except "Num Lock" if that's the only function the key performs you can just press it to activate the lock; a light will probably go on somewhere to indicate that "Num Lock" is on. If the key has multiple functions, you'll have to hold down a different key while pressing it. Hold down "Shift" and press "Num Lock" if the writing saying "Num Lock" appears above some other writing on the key, the way various symbols appear above the numbers on the keyboard's number row. Hold down "Fn" and press "Num Lock" if the writing saying "Num Lock" appears in a different color often light blue that's shared by the "Fn" key.

You can enter text in two different ways: the traditional text
input indicated by , or predictive text input (built-in
dictionary) indicated by .
To use traditional text input, press the key marked with the
letter that you want repeatedly until the letter appears.
To turn on predictive text input when writing text, select
Options > Dictionary and the desired language; to turn it off,
select Options > Dictionary off.
To use predictive text input, do the following:
1. To enter the word you want, press each key once for a
single letter.
2. If the displayed word is the one you want, press 0, and
start writing the next word.
To change the word, press * repeatedly until the word you
want appears.

If ? is displayed after the word, the word is not in the
dictionary. To add the word to the dictionary, select Spell,
enter the word (using traditional text input), and select OK.
Tips for writing text with traditional and predictive text input:
• To add a space, press 0.
• To quickly change the text input method when writing
text, press # repeatedly and check the indicator at the top
of the display.
• To add a number, press and hold the desired number key.
• To get a list of special characters when using traditional
text input, press *; when using predictive text input, press
and hold *.

2. Press on Entry SetUp

3. Select the Primary Set Up or Secondary Setup by choosing your preferred input mode among the ones below. Us the wheel by pressing on the right arrow to change mode:

ITAP: it's a built-in software which predicts the word you are typing. THIS IS PREDICTIVE TEXT

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya.

press the time button and the press button at the bottom with a key on it. (it has 't.set' in grey writing just above). On the screen - at the top - the first letter should be flashing. To be honest I don't know what it means at the top but you can use the arrow keys to go navigate. The 1st line has the day at the right. The 2nd line has the date - YYYY - MM - DD. On the 3rd line is the time. A=AM, P=PM. HH - MM - SS (Seconds cannot be set but reset to 0 whenever the time is changed).

your key board is not working .u have to buy an external key board.
