Hello,
Hello,
Having some trouble with a Gateway ML6720 keyboard. I have Vista on it. What is happening is when I type various letters additional letters show up. For example when I type 'a', it shows as 'qa', 'd' is 'ds', 'l' is 'lj', etc. Not all keys do this. And all but the combination of ‘u’ and <return> adjacent to the selected key. Also, when I press the decrease volume button it alternates mute and unmute. These buttons are not on the keyboard unit. I've already formated the drive and reinstalled windows, no fix or change, replaced the keyboard, no fix or change, and verified regional settngs, found set properly. I also uninstalled the keyboard driver and re booted, no help. I feel I'm left with replacement of the computer as an only option. Any other ideas?
