Sony Vaio VGN 270P - Jumbled Keyboard Input characters
Sony VAIO - VGN T270 P / Windows XP-SP2 / Sony Vaio Drivers from Online SONY Support.
Wrong Laptop Keyboard input character recognition by Windows.
Worked fine after fresh installation, I suspect further installation of vaio drivers caused this, not sure.
Correct Character identification on third party BOOT DISK i.e Hiren Boot CD text editors.
I get different character on screen than the one pressed on the Laptop Keyboard.
It confuses the 1st row alphabetical input for keys like P,O.I etc into numbers.
A solution would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jacobs.

HI F-KIng was right.
The problem seems to be solved when I press the FN key and the other keys at the same time.
So at present the FN key seems to be enabled or disabled.
I tried Switch an and swithsch of by single press, continued press, and multiple press.but i cannot permanantly revert the current function of the FN key.
So the question arises, how do I permanantly revert the FN key function?
Thanks.

try uninstalling the hotkey software from add remove programs in control panel.
Have you made sure the keyboard language is correct in Regional Settings under the input device area.

hi,
The solution was simple in the end, the numberlock key was activated, it did not take much time for a grammar school gcse student to figure it out. thanks for the help.
