Well, as far as I am concerned, it is pure gibberish! Unless...

[HAL9000]

No LOL!

The red x at the top right-hand corner.

[KalamityKel]

u see the red box wiv an X in it on the top right of the box...

[DulwichFox]

Hi LM.

The letters are not quite as random as they seem. They seem to form blocks

of characters that are next to each other on the keyboard. Looks like you may of

leant on the keyboard or placed say a book on it. ???

Just close the window as Kalamitykel has suggested by clicking the Red X top right of the

Windows Help and Support Window.

[Ladymuck]

Actually, I've just had a thought...

I did clean the keyboard earlier on (with a toothbrush and slightly damp rag)...it was grubby/dusty and was annoying me...:-S

But never mind that, how can I get rid of this stupid rubbish and the green arrow with underscore and the white question mark within the blue circle?

[Ladymuck]

There is no red X on my keyboard...in fact nothing is red - just black and white. The x is white on a black background.

[KalamityKel]

not on the keyboard... see attached

[HAL9000]

I did clean the keyboard earlier on (with a toothbrush and slightly damp rag)

I would never have guessed - that explains EVERYTHING!

[Ladymuck]

Oh just seen your post DFox...do you mean the red x which when clicked normally means that I will exit out of the doc? If so, when I click on this it just goes "ting". Drives me bananas...

[karter]

OMG, like i said this has turned out to be a LOL thread.

thanks for the laughs guys and glad i was of some use.

ROFLMAO

[Ladymuck]

LOL KK - but no...can't exit out...it just goes "ting"...

[DulwichFox]

Drag the box to one side.

There may well be another box underneath

that needs to be closed first.

One of the programes you are running may well of been minimised.

and will be on the bottom task bar.

[KalamityKel]

LM r u trying to exit the programme or the windows support window?

U wont be able to exit the programme without closing the support window first

*sighs*

I'm sorry, but I've no idea - I've never used windows support and I didn't ask to use it today. But thanks for PM...am about to try your instructions...

[DulwichFox]

Hi LM

Position your mouse over the Blue Circle with the ? mark

You should see a little box with the a discription

If it says Help and Support. Click on it.

It will either close the box already open or open a new box.

If it opens a new box try and close that box with the Red X

If that closes then you should be able to close the other box.

[Ladymuck]

KK you are a genius! Control alt delete and going into task manager and deleting windows support did the trick. Phew! That's got rid of the offending page AND the question mark in blue circle. There still remains the matter of a green light on the keyboard bearing a downward arrow (underscored). Any further ideas? I've pressed every button on the keyboard (I think), but it's still there. But it's minor - so relieved the gibberish has gone.

I am REALLY grateful.

[KalamityKel]

press the scroll lock button on ya keyboard...

[Loz]

Yah beat me Kel.

[Ladymuck]

Ah thanks DFox - X-posted. Both circle and gibberish gone now. But thanks. Any ideas on this green arrow light thingy (on keyboard)? Am hoping to get rid of it before hubby comes home LOL so he is none the wiser LOL!

[Loz]

LM - Do wot Kel said. That "green arrow light thingy" is Scroll Lock and should go away when you hit the button marked... Scroll Lock!

And, if you've not worked it out, don't clean the keyboard when the computer is on....
