Keyboard keys remapped arbitrarily - NOT a NUM Lock issue
Hi there Forum, I have a fairly new Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li3910 Laptop and have been experiencing a strange, and extremely frustrating, keyboard issue for several days now. I have browsed through loads of forums, but to no avail. Well, maybe some of you may be able to help My keyboard seems to have been strangely remapped for some reason - some keys have been "added up" with one another, the "d" causes the cursor to jump into the URL line of the browser, while others won't work in "SHIFT +" mode. Here's a little, non-exhaustive list of what's wrong, indicating what happens if the respective key is pressed: - "h" -- "8h" - "g" -- "6g" - ";" -- "9;" - "9" -- "9;" - "d" -- "d", but cursor jumps into URL line of browser if in IE - "5" on NUM pad -- 85 - "8" on NUM pad -- 85 - "8" on keyboard -- 8h - "6" on keyboard -- 6g - keys that will not react if SHIFT is pressed: M, S, D, G, H, ;, ', \, 6, 8, 9 - "END" button: functions like "UP" arrow - "INSERT" button: # (but functions in any case) The list goes on, and I'm pretty sure this issue has a few more suprises in store for me. While I have no idea where this problem might be coming from (a virus perhaps?), the only solution I could think of would be a keyboard remapper, though I have no idea whether this could work at all. Any ideas what this could be or what I could do in order to get this resolved?? Any help is much appreciated!!! Africandude -- africandude |
