My keyboard is acting really weird. My enter button and bacspace button dont seem to work. I have unplugged it and rebooted and it doersnt seem to want to co-operate.My daughter was over here banging away on the buttons and it hasnt seemed to work since. I am wondering if she might have screwed up my settings somehow. Please help!

Did you try to remove every key and check for any foreign blockage? Sometimes a large crumb or some other foreign body can become logged between the key and the pad on the circuit board underneath.
Secondly, if she was indeed banging on it she could have easily cracked some of the solder connections on the circuit board (especiallly in cheaper keyboards) and which leaves you without functionality.
If all your other keys work, than likely the USB or parallel connection port is not the problem.
If you have an old cheap keyboard consider this a good time to upgrade to a neato multimedia style keyboard.... keyboards are pretty cheap anyway.

If it is a USB keyboard, then perhaps drivers might be an issue . . . (just a stab in the dark
