It wasn't the keyboard, it was just the OEM xp setup - i wiped the HDD and reinstalled from scratch and there was no problem (98 boot disk showed no probs, therefore not a hardware issue) anyway thanks for trying<br />

Hi I purchased a brand new computer recently, and it has come with windows xp home mostly installed (OEM - brand manufacturer). It requires &nbsp;a product key to be entered, however several keys on the keyboard including &quot;1&quot;, &quot;5&quot; and &quot;0&quot; don't work. I've tried switching keyboards but the same problem remains. Has anybody ever encountered anything like this before ? I've got no idea. The shop is not open for two days to ask them.<br />
thanks<br />

New computer from store - some keyboard buttons don't work - what gives ?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
