Help!! My laptop keyboard seems to be packing up. The question key has stopped working. I've given it a good clean but it's dead as a dodo. Can I reassign this character to another key. :?:

hey, dont know if this will be of any use

Keytweak 2.11 (http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/KeyTweak.shtml)

KeyTweak makes use of Microsoft's Scancode Map registry key to remap your keyboard.

I had the same problem,bought a new one same type and had the same problem.So I reloaded (setup) windows and it worked.
Seems to be the answer to a lot of problems.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I used the "key-tweak" download and it worked a treat. Much appreciated. :D

Would KeyTweak work for my keyboard? I spilt a glass of water over it (it's not a laptop). Trouble is that now the cap shift doesn't work nor do any of the F keys! HELP (typed holding caps down and typing with one finger)!!!

Oh, and I have another problem - My Hotmail account has stopped sending my mail to Outlook Express - it will only do it if I go on to Hotmail. I can't send e-mails from Outlook either. This has only happened over the last few days, but I find it a real nuisance. The error report I get is that they can't find my account or can't find server. So more HELP please!
