Keys all of a sudden remapped

Hey all - it's been a very long time since I've been around.

I've been using Windows7RC rather enjoyably for the past few months with zero problems until last night. All of a sudden after a re-boot a few of my keys have become remapped. My 'i' key all of a sudden opens my calculator as well as still keying 'i'. My '8' key no longer works - it does on the keypad, but not the key in the main cluster. And my 'Left Ctrl' key zooms in browser pages (Right Ctrl doesn't).

Any ideas on how to undo this - I know it's not the keyboard itself because I've tried three other keyboards (2 PS/2 and 1 USB) and the problem still persists.

TIA.

Hi SV,

Since you're using a RC version of Windows it might be a bug.

I would zap the keyboard in Device Manager and reboot.
