Sounds like maybe he has one of those non-standard keyboards (84-key or
however many they
have) and that some key remapping may be required. Sindi has some experience
with this. But
whether Greg will have the patience to diagnose the problem and apply the fix
remains to be
seen. He might just want to stick with DOS (if it can do everything he needs
to do with his
computer) or find an older version of Windows to install, which would be a
relatively less
painful transition.
