Keyboard settings wrong

December 1, 2006 1:37:39 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Multiplicity messed up the keyboard on my secondary computer, a laptop. I want to reset it so it works correctly again, but I don't know how. I've tried deleting the keyboard installation and multiplicity, but that doesn't work. The settings just stay messed up. What can I do?

What is messed up?
The only thing that MP does with my laptop secondary keyboard is disable/enable the numlock. And that's what I want to happen.

It has changed it so pressing the right hand side of my keyboard operates the numpad, which means I can't type uiopjklnm,. they have been replaced by the numbers on the numpad.

There is a setting in MP to change the behavior.
Right click on the systray icon. Choose advanced options. Change the settings to what you want.

If you had provided more information in you initial post you'd have it fixed by now.

It sounds like your PC has numlock on. 

Connect using MP and then when controlling the secondary press the numlock key on your primary keyboard.

An alternative is to find how to toggle numlock on your laptop keyboard.  I suspect it is a coloured key + another key.  Rebooting will switch things back to the default I believe too as Windows does not remember the state of that key & multiplicity does not do anything apart from sync the 2 pcs when you control the secondary.
