I was wondering if I had done anything especially different recently (other than moving files around, etc.), and it occurs to me, yes. I have an external Logitech keyboard and mouse, with one of those tiny receiver dongles that I plug into any unpowered Belkin USB 4-port hub. Otherwise I just use it for flash drives. However ... I was doing some experiments with my smartphone, and discovered that I can use my external keyboard and mouse with my phone, which is useful for sending texts, because I refuse to use autocorrect crap. Now, I wonder, could my switching the keyboard from my laptop to my phone, then back to the laptop, have caused something weird to happen?
