    Default Some buttons aren't working properly under Windows 7

    Hi guys, since a couple of days i'm experiencing a tedious problem with some of the buttons of my keyboard not working as expected. These are "u", "i", "o", "p", "j", "k", "l" and "m"; they print a different character from what they should do. The strange thing is, i' ve used the pc w/ W7 for a while without problems. Suddenly I switched the pc on and I found the problem. Actually i'm using the on-screen keyboard but writing is waaaay boring and slow. I' ve tried no solutions yet. Maybe something messed up with the settings? Will you help me? Thanks in advance! :wink:

    It seems you have the num lock activated, the characters you get when you press the keys are numbers? is so just press fn+num lock key (i dont remember where it is exactly but it should be over the number keys) and it will go back to normal.
