    I am not much of a gamer but I picked up a game (NHL 07) recently and I am not able to use the ctrl or alt as key buttons in games. I can only use one hand so having those keys near the up,down, right, left keys are needed. Is there anyway that I can activate the ctrl and alt keys so that I can use it in the game? When I try setting the control buttons in the game itself, it does not let me set the keys as control or alt. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate any answers
    Thank you

    If the control settings in the game don't allow you to map the cntrl and alt keys, you are out of luck. Hopefully you can find alternate keys and set up an alternate layout that suits your preference. For example, try moving one row up to the comma, period and front slash. Or try moving to the middle of the letters on the keyboard.
