OOPS - the way I thought I was turning off the scroll lock hadn't worked - I subsequently tried using the "On-screen keyboard" to turn off the scroll-lock & that seems to have fixed my (non-problem"

  I tried the ON-screen keyboard solution and it didn't make any difference, so I'm still looking for a solution.

  it would be awesome if the scroll state in excel properly follows the actual scroll state and better still the shortcuts stop changing. (It would also be nice if HP didnt remove the scroll lock key but thats a different issue entirely.)
