text edit and delete not working

[Anonymous]

When I double-click on a text item, AutoCAD used to go to text edit mode, without entering the TEDIT command.  This quit working - now I have to enter TEDIT.

Also, when I select items and hit the Delete key, nothing happens.  The selected items used to get deleted.

I tried going to the Windows Start menu and resetting all of the settings to the defaults - this didn't work.

I also tried re-installing AutoCAD from my original disk, and that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
