Arrow Keys Do Not Move controls

[Guest]

Hey everyone. I just reinstalled my VS.Net and now for some reason, when i am in design mode and i try to move a control, it does not move the control. It ends up moving the scrollbar up or down as if it were the internet and not the control

Is there something in the options for this? or is it a bug, reinstall??

Hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the arrow keys.

That was the first thing i tried. I tried a hard-wired keyboard and two different wireless keyboards. I also tried looking in the configurations and options and there was nothing there...I'm reinstalling dot.net right now in the event something went crazy...

I doubt that this will help, but please report if reinstalling solved
the problem.

I ran into this problem and resolved it by going to
Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard and setting the Keyboard mapping
scheme to Visual Basic 6.
