i was runing win 95 virtual machine an i closed my eeepc. when i opened it the resoluton and KEYBOARD are imiating 95's setting. i just want my keyboard to work beca4se osk is a pain.1. Okay, I'll admit it... I don't really know what this means: "the resoluton and keyboard are imiating 95's setting". Apparently that's a bad thing...

2. Resolution. Are we talking pixels, color depth, monitor refresh rate? What are they currently set to?
a. Pixels: 640 X 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024?
b. Colors: 16 colors, 256 colors, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit
c. Refresh: 60 HZ, 70Hz?

3. Keyboard. What are Windows 95 keyboard settings and why does that require you to use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK)?

4. Recovery. Can you:
a. Restart Windows 95 virtual machine and see if there's an option to use same settings for both host and VM machine (wondering why you're currently stuck with Windows 95 settings on host machine). Perhaps restart virtual machine and terminate it normally to see what happens.
b. Use Control Panel to access Display Properties and Keyboard Properties to just reset them.
c. Revert back to an earlier system "Restore Point", a time when they were working well. Do you have any recent restore points available?95 didnt supprt this keyboard. i dont know how to choose this keyboard from a list. this is how it types the alphabet:

abcdefgh51230n6*qrst4vwxyz

the layout is bad and i dont know how to select another. i uninstalled it and rebooted and NOTHING. terminating 95 didnt either...you enabled numlock. Look carefully at the right side alphabetic keys, and you'll see they also have the numpad numbers printed on them.

Methods of switching to and from differ: but they are almost always the Fn key and another key.oh haha. that worked. I didnt enable it though, it did itself must be. it was using the same layout i selected for 95setup so thats why i thought that. and also my resolution was different but that was an easy fix. thanx heh yeah, what Imeant was, somehow numlock got enabled Nice catch "BC_Programmer"! And thank you "gamerx365" for posting the keyboard output. Not everyone would have done that.
