I have installed windows a few times today. The problem is that when windows starts to install, I lose the keyboard settings and the only keys that work are c v and m works for enter. So I keep pushing the keys and when it comes time to push the key to delete the partition I dont think any of my keys will work. The esc key and f8 keys work with no problem. Is there another way to reinstall the operating system from scratch? Hi again! I have installed windows a few times today.

When you reinstalling the operating system from scratch it erases all old settings. If you have software related issue reinstalling Windows should fix it. Make sure to reinstall the whole operating system and not just replace system files or repair them. Boot from the Windows CD, delete all partitions and install Windows from scratch. Christine,

I did reinstall windows but I still have the same problem. I am pretty sure it is a software problem now because I had previously downloaded My T Touch virtual keyboard and when I open and close this program my keyboard works, but when I close windows I lose the settings and have to open this program everytime I turn on my laptop. Can you tell me how to fix this? By the way I do not have the recovery disk, just a copy of windows, which seems to leave some of my old settings on the freshly installed windows even though I reformatted my harddisk.
