Keyboard error

When I hit the dash on my number pad, my computer goes into sleep mode. When
I hit CTRL my favorites menu pops up. The keyboard was working fine until I
had to restore and reload Windows XP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

"Restore AND reload Windows"? You would do one OR the other. What did
you actually do? Also is the computer different from when you got it as
far as the keyboard or other items, and did you reload from the factory CD?

I reloaded from the factory CD. The computer I purchased from work (used),
and I am trying to use a microsoft keyboard on it, which is the same model I
used at work with this computer.

Then you mopst likely installed a keyboard driver for the keyboard that
actually came with the computer, and you need to get the correct driver
for the keyboard you put on instead.
