keyboard mapping has screwed up. 1

[tommyh1]

I have been using vmware, which is piece of software that allows you to load guest operating systems into a virtual environment.

After a couple of hours messing about with vmware, the keyboard key mappings changed.

the 'i' key now prints '5', but the '5' key is still '5'
the ':' char now prints '-'

ie it has changed so that there are some keys missing.

ive uninstalled vmware using mouse clicks and copying and pasting from the character mapping accessory (which is still working correctly) but the problem still exists.

is there any way I can fix this, and maybe work out what has caused this?

Thanks in advance

Tom

That's odd since thos keys on my laptop are just like that, the difference between which character comes out depends on the NumLock.
