Hi. Thanks for your replies. I don't have a spare keyboard but is it worth me going out and buying a cheap one to try first?
Also, it is happening during boot. I get the Dell screen and it happens after that. I do have important files on there (photos especially). The only other computer I have is my laptop which I would die if it got infected!!! :s
I'll have to have a think about the specs cos I don't know off hand . It has Windows XP that's all I know for now. Sry.
