U=4, I=5, O=6 and more strange key mappings. |
|---|
| message from Ed Crane on 31 May 2004 |
So my wife is trying to use a blog and gets frustrated with it. She
blops her hands on the k/b much the same I do with a piano when my
practice isn't going well.
Then all of sudden, the U key comes out as 4, the I a 5 and the O a 6
and there are some other strange mappings too.
She logs out and in - same thing.
She reboots. Same thing.
I changed the keyboard language from and to UK / US mapping - same
thing. I tried Notepad, Word...even the command prompt has the same
problem.
I downloaded the M$ Keyboard Layout creator and began with Edit
Existing Layout, loaded the UK keyboard and selected Test Layout.
Same problem.
If I change users, the problem goes away. I really don't want to have
to create another user account for her and move her email and other
files across (unless anyone knows of a non-arduous route to achieve
that?)
I would be delighted, not to mention sycophantically grateful if
anyone knows how to fix this and would share the solution with my
deeply frustrated self.
Ed.

You're using a laptop and the NumLock is on. Turn it off.
