John The keyboard functions correctly in absolutely every piece of software I have, except QPC2. All locales, keyboard language, regions, etc are set to UK. QEmulator works and so does SMSQmulator giving the correct keys. QPC2 just does not respond to some keys and unfortunately, that includes # and _ which are needed quite a bit. Yes, I can get around it using ALTKEY and Clavier, etc but you can't just type, you always have to remember to do something special and that's a pain when it is such important keys for SBASIC use. Still, I can now happily work in SMSQmulator so QPC2 will probably be put aside when I want to code.

SMSQmulator fixes it.... ------------------------------------------- On my Lenovo G575 W7/64bit laptop, something precipitated a similar and frustrating keyboard problem. It was noticed after I had just commissioned Windows Live Mail - though I cannot be sure it can be blamed. Reading from my hard-copy log, this is what I wrote at the time - 1. WORD & E-mails now demonstrate a wrong character set. 2. Set international settings (somehow changed to 'US' from 'UK') to 'UK' and hot reboot. No cure! 3. Change 'system locale' to 'UK'' and hot reboot. - No cure! 4. Change 'Input Language Keyboard to 'UK' - and hot reboot. - Cured!
