Ian,

Go down to the taskbar and you will find the icons.  One is a black screen, 
that is the terminal.  Next to it you will find a black screen with green on 
the left hand side, that is the Control Center.  Click on that one.  Then go 
to 'peripherals - keyboard'.  Take the X out of 'Disable Keyboard Layouts' 
and change the idiotic thing to a '105 key' keyboard.  Once you have done 
that click 'apply' and then disable the keyboard layouts again.  It should 
work.  If it goes back to the same again next time you reboot or logout, take 
the 'disable' off and click apply and don't disable again.  Let us know how 
you go.

Regards
        Trevor
