    Seems like the keyboard settings are set to a different language set up. You using XP?

    Yes, using xp pro... only seems to be the "0" key and the down arrow. everything else is working perfectly. I attached usb keyboard, and everything was fine with that, reinstalled my recovery disk, reformatted first, and just installed new keyboard on it today.. hp was no help.

    example of problem..
    when i type "11990" , it comes out "01199"
