Weird keyboard problem with VPC

Hi all,

I am running VPC on my VAIO VGN-S260. I am getting weird keyboard
behavior... some of the letter keys result in numbers unless I use my FN key
when pressing them (eg. k key = 2). I have re-installed VPC but still same
behavior. I do not see this behavior outside of VPC. Anyone else
experienced something like this or heard of it? TIA

Pat

You've probably got NUM lock turned on in the guest.

Scientists were excited this week at having isolated a brief sound which
occurred immediately before the Big Bang.
Apparently, the sound was, "uh oh".

Go into the BIOS setup of the VM (press del-key)
Then to Advanced - Boot Settings configuration.
Change the Bootup Num-Lock to Off.
