I'm not sure how to explain this ..  when trying to compose or reply e
mails..  if I  use back space to change something, it makes the words &
letters  ahead of the blinking curser disappear.. so that I have to start the
letter all over in order to correct anything .. anyone have any ideas or a
fix please ? Thx, Katt

Tap the Insert key once. Is that what the problem was?

Hello & Ty for the reply I'm new to this & a bit lost .. I don't tap the
insert key, when I'm composing letters or replying to emails  in Outlook 6  
when I tap the Back Space key to fix something or change it.. the letters/
words in front, of the blinking cursor disappear.

OK. But have you taped the Insert key and tested to see if the problem
persists? It toggles between a /normal/ mode and deleting characters in
front of the ones you type in.

Same as Orlin's Computer.
When I turn on the computer, the alert comes.
It's Says:
Alert! System Battery Too Low!
Press F1 to continue, Press F2 to run the system startup menu

That's what the backspace key is supposed to do.  It moves back a space
and deletes the character there.

If you want to move the cursor without erasing things, you use the
cursor keys.
