DO NOT USE REMAPKEY, NO MATTER WHAT. I know it's one of the only free programs that do this, but it has got my keyboard permanently ****ed on my laptop, and it's been that way for 6 months or more despite trying everything short of a reformat.
If you can get some money *cracks a smile* for Intes Keychange, it's probably the best.

xJoEx, have you tried making a new windows account? That solves when my laptop keyboard messes up.

Hey yakuza, thanks for the help. That has in the past fixed it for about an hour, but then it reverted to ****d up mode. Making a new windows acct isn't the only thing that's made it work temporarily, either. I think a registry cleanup with Advanced System Optimizer once worked for example. Occasionally it inexplicably works for an hour or so without me doing anything. Keyboard always works in safe mode, too.
It doesn't only revert to being ****d when I start up the computer, either. It must be some elusive background process or something. :-/

Did you run msconfig to disable corresponding startup programs / Services ?

I've tried this, although it's not obvious which program is the culprit.

It works perfectly for me. Best key remapping program for NT/2K/XP available, in my opinion. I'm talking about remapkey 0.99f.
Best remapper for 95/98/ME probably is ZDKeyMap.

Yes redwraith, it works fine, but try deleting it. That's when the problems start.

Deleting? Not uninstalling via the Control Panel?
Deleting a program's files when there's a proper way to uninstall it correctly is just asking for problems.

Well I'm not going to install it again to check, but I'm sure if it had an uninstaller I used it. (It might not have even had an installer - just an executable to run the program)

Not all programs have an executable file that uninstalls the program - especially files using Windows Installer packages. All programs that come in an installer are meant to be removed via Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet - any other method, such as uninstall shortcuts in the program's start menu group or uninstallers in the program's directory, are just supplimentary.

So you simply left them out with your Uniupload tool, huh? :D

That's what I meant, Cyber. Why start from the assumption that I'm a doofus? :)

because of your ambiguous wording :P
bonz: yes, INF files + the standard tool iexpress.exe are the simplest way to make an installer for Windows apps :)
