Funny problems with data entry

Hello,

My apologies in advance for the technical question. I am a user of S-Plus
2000 and all of a sudden I can no longer enter data into any datasheet. If I
type e.g. '1' into a cell, I get '11', '2' I get '222' and so on, and
different combinations of digits result in an endless series of them. What
is going on? It looks like a keyboard buffer problem, though disabling the
Buffer Data Entry option did not work. Like I said, this happened
unexpectedly, possibly because of a program's internal error or something. I
have also tried to re-install twice, to no avail. (Btw this data entry
problem is affecting only S-Plus spreadsheets, and not Excel ones).

Can someone help? I would hate to have to re-format my computer just for this!

Many thanks in advance,

Lorenzo Vilizzi
