Keyboard wrong characters

#1 Post by samjesse » Tue May 11, 2010 2:04 pm

I created a user account, fired up Notepad, typed the letter o but it plotted 6. 4 for u, 1 for j.
that does not happen in the Admin account.

I have XP sp3 on this ebay A31 2652 machine.

thx

That did not make any difference. even when I am logged in as an admin. it stays on letters and does not switch to numbers. i.e. Numlock does not change any thing.

You have to press Shift/NumLk for it to work.
