To Don and all, The keyboard seems to be working with no lockup. Let me explain what I tried. Before making any changes I checked to see if the keyboard was still locking up. It was. After starting a PC word processor and typing about 20 or so "7"'s rapidly it froze. REBOOT. I found the file that you suggesting removing. The file is SidecarSettings.Table located in my Workbench:PC/System drawer. After locating it I renamed it, just in case, SidecarSettings.TableOLD (132 bytes) and started the Bridgeboard (BB). I checked my settings, made some changes to my colors and saved my settings. I then flipped back to the Amiga side and saw a brand new SidecarSettings.Table file (132 bytes). I flipped back to the PC side and ran a word processor. It looked good but after about 50 "7"'s it froze. Progress but still the lockup. REBOOT. I don't know if this mattered but my wife blew a fuse (literally). No power. I reset the breaker. Now back to computer madness. I ran PCPrefs in th PC drawer and Disabled the Monochrome Display Adapter Emulation just so I could save a change. BTW I haven't changed it back. I started the BB and ran BBSETUP on the PC side to check my settings there. All was O.K. I escaped with no changes. It PC rebooted. I then closed the BB and powered down the Amiga. Waited a minute and started the it back up. I started the BB, ran the word processor and typed about a thousand "7"'s. No keyboard lock up. Success! (I hope with my fingers crossed.) Thanks for all the input. Les from Bayonne, NJ via Auto Pilot -TTFN
