Selected objects not erased when DELETE key pressed 1

[rezfloyd]

Dear experts,
Everybody knows selected objects erased when DELETE key pressed. but it's not the case for me.
"Pickfirst" variable is set to 1 .
I'm using Acad 2004.
Thank you very much

Check to make sure the layer the objects are on is not locked. And that the file itself is not read only.
I also use 2004 and the only time I can't delete something is if I have locked the layer and forgot that I did it.
Good luck.

Dear Bruce,
Thank you very much for your reply.
But these are not the problem.
I have this problem even for a new file!.

rezfloyd,

if you turn NUM lock off, then it works. Sometimes.
Which WIN are You running? XP? Maybe You should install the servicepacks.
I think, that's not an ACAD problem.

Dear Lothar,
Thank you very much. I turned the NUM lock off and it worked.
I'm using Win XP Pro version 2002 with service pack 1.
I use the same Windows with the same Acad in two different computer, but I had this problem only in one of them.
May be it's a hardware isue.
Best regards,
Reza

Does the other delete key work? Most keyboads have two.

Dear IFRs
None Del keys work unless the Num Lock key is off.
I found out some key combination doesn't work in other programs (e.x. AlT+Left key to select text in FAR Program).
I think I have some problem in keyboard driver or so.
Thanks
