My Saitek USB HID keyboard (which needs no special software from the manufacturer) for the last few months, I have not been able to play my second life game because of my keyboard actions. The qwerty side of the keyboar, everything works fine.. On the ten key side and the arrow keys, is where the problems are. The Enter key on the ten key side, when clicked, types this: fjka And when I click on the left arrow key, it opens up notepad or types this bn, the up arrow types this: gh

I'm soo confused.. I have cleaned my keyboard, tried changing usb drivers, uninstall tons of things, reinstalled, ran virus and spyware programs, tried rootkit checks, ....etc. etc. etc.

The reason it affects my Second Life game is because you need the arrow keys for movement of your avatar. the up arrow is the move forward button, and the left arrow is to turn left. any clues for the clueless bird? hehe

If it requires no drivers, have you checked the properties to
see what drivers are installed for it ? Any chance a Windows Update
might have dumped an inappropriate driver into the mix ? Or,
that some game you installed, has something for binding commands
to keys, that is running right now ?

Are any modifier keys jammed ? Is there a "lock" key of
some sort involved ?

What is the exact model of keyboard ? Got a web page
with a picture ?
