Rhonda, one of the computers at work, uses the F keys for different things, and one is the blining cursor and the solid (instead of underline) cursor, or the blinking solid cursor. You might try using the ALT key or the CTRL key in conjunction with all the F keys and see if anything changes. For example, at work, if you do ALT+F9 it will change from an underline cursor to a solid square cursor, then if you do ALT+F8 it will change from steady to blinking. To reverse it, you just do that same step again. An idea to try anyway..........good luck. Oh, this also works for "clacking" or silent typing too!
