Guest Mal Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I`m not sure where this should be posted but if not the right area perhaps someone can direct me where to post. I have a computer running XP Pro SP2. I`ve messed up quite a few of the keyboard keys monkeying around where I didn`t know what I was doing. At any rate I would like to just get back to the standard keyboard setup as it was origionally. Is there a way of doing this with my small amount of computer expertise (and your help)? TIA
Guest TERRY Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 RE: Keyboard Problem Hi.I,m not an expert but i do know a little.If you click start,all programs,accessories,system tools.You will see system restore.This will bring you back to before you started tooling around with the settings.It should give you several options on dates.They will be larger than the other dates.Hope this helps.TERRY.

Guest Mal Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Keyboard Problem Thanks. I have tried that but the earliest restore date still doesn`t work. I was hoping someone could suggest what part of the system registry contains that info and I could remove it and replace with the registry from my CD. Is that possible?

Guest TERRY Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Keyboard Problem Hi M.I just got your reply.If you go to control panel.Right click on keyboard icon,open,hardware,then down at the bottom properties.It will have update driver,roll back driver.Try update driver.If that is not working go to roll back driver.That should give you back your original setttings.Should work because it over rides all other commands.TERRY.

Guest Mal Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: Keyboard Problem Yes, I did try that early. It also didn`t work. I`ve really messed things up.
