I have an Acer Aspire laptop running XP Home. I connected a Logitech Internet Navigator keyboard to one of the USB 2.0 ports. Keyboard was recognized and worked with no problem. No software was installed from the inlcuded CD.
When the keyboard was removed and the laptop re-started, laptop's keyboard would not type characters correctly. It now assumes that characters that are produced when the Function key is pressed are the default characters of the relevant keys. For example: the key for the letter "O" has the numeral "6" next to it that, under normal conditions, would be produced ONLY if you press function. Now hitting "O" produces 6 and if Function is pressed "O" appears. In other words, keyboard has REVERSED all Function characters into default characters.
Logitech keyboard, when connected back the USB port, works flawlessly
Any ideas as to what is happening will be appreciated.
