Thanks, James and Oscarello.

It's not a hardware issue because the keyboard worked with two other OSs on the 
same machine. I ended up just reinstalling. However, I just performed a similar 
update on one of my work machines, and if I experience the same issue, I'll try 
the above mentioned solutions.

Thanks again,
Paul
