Thanks to all who replied, it looks like I'm keeping my extra keyboard handy. I
tried Kaari's suggestion with no luck sadly. If I get to go shopping for a new
laptop (unlikely) I'll try out the other tips handed out...
You guys rock, I love this free list system...

A couple things I've discovered with my laptop: the s d f j k l keys don't work
for 6-key entry, but the q w e o p [ DO. I can also get 6-key to work with the
s d f j k l (especially when I want to lounge on the couch, am doing mostly
formatting, and don't want to be bothered with a second keyboard) by not
hitting all the keys at once. It's taken some practice, but hitting the keys
very quickly one at a time (as if you were drumming your fingers) works well
most of the time. Some symbols just won't work, like a "g" for some reason, so
those I copy & paste. For anything needing much typing though, it's the second
keyboard.

Hi,
Everyone is spot on. Many laptop keyboards won't allow you to type 6 keys at
the same time. If you have an external keyboard that works you can use that. It
is 100% a hardware problem so installing Perky Duck or any other software won't
fix it I'm afraid.
