I think that my 4 year old may have done something

    My 4 year old daughter has become obsessed with the computer recently. I think she may have accidently done something to it, though. I have some weird things going on.

    First is that I can no longer open the Task Manager by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE. It just beeps and all three keyboard lights blink (CAPS, NUM LOCK and whatever the other one is). But it will open by going to START-RUN and typing in taskmgr. And on top of that, if I try pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE it will then do other weird stuff like close things that I have open and then when I go to open explorer again, as soon as I go to type it closes with the first keystroke. I also notice that when I press ALT all 3 lights blink. ???

    After pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE I have to reset the computer because it won't let me open stuff. While loading back up it goes to a blue screen and says it is checking the file system on C: for consistency. That it's verifying my files and folders. Shows something about SystemVolumeInfo\_restore. It says something about the first allocation unit is not valid and the entry will be truncated.

    ?? I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    Thanks, I'll have to look into suggestions you gave. I guess it wouldn't hurt to put in the keyboard software disk and run in through and maybe revert it back to standard settings or something?

    This is the keyboard I have: http://www.tweak3d.net/reviews/microsoft/keyboard/

    After you get this fixed. Whenever you leave your PC, make sure you "lock" your PC (windows key + L). This saves me a lot of grief with my 3 year old. Also having a lock on your PC case helps a lot too so they cant turn it on/off. Since my case has pretty blue LED fans and fan knobs on the front, it acts as a giant pretty toy marvel for my son.
