First it was my Delete key,
then the hyphen/underline key
now the 'six' key
So, the six & hyphen are on the same line. On this keyboard, Delete is at the right hand end of the row above the numbers row.
Any thoughts on this? Is my keyboard shot? or dirty inside? Or have I accidentally disabled the keys?

Do you have someone else's keyboard you can try on your computer to see if anything is different?
The only thing I can think of is that it's shot. Luckily, you can get a new keyboard for like $10.
But I would try to find one to test on it first.

----------------------------
From about.com -
* In order to keep your keyboard cleaner and prevent keys from sticking or malfunctioning, do your best to keep food and drink away from where you are working.
* Even if you don't spill something directly on the laptop keyboard, you will get residue on your fingers and transfer that to the keyboard.
* Compressed air can be used on the keyboard to get rid of dirt build-up.
* Read your User's Manual to learn if the keys can be removed for cleaning.
* Just be sure that you put the keys back in their proper place when you are done cleaning them.
* Cotton swabs are useful for cleaning in and around keys.
----------------------------If those do-it-yourself tips don't work, you may need to have it maintenanced by a professional.
