I have been using VMware workstation V. 5.5.9 and a Logitech wireless keyboard for some time. Today I somehow mistyped a Ctrl-<something> sequence while in the VM window, meaning to enter it elsewhere instead of the VM. Now, the cursor keys between the main keys and the keypad have stopped working correctly. Most do nothing, but the down arrow key causes Windows to raise the Start menu, as if I had pressed the "windows" key near left-alt.
The cursor movement keys on the keypad still work, with numlock off. I have tried restarting windows, restarting VMware workstation, restarting the X (KDE) session, and rebooting the computer. The only thing I haven't done is a complete power off/on. All cursor keys work fine in non-VMware applications, so I suspect VMware and/or Windows, but I've been wrong blaming MS or VM before, so...... Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong, and how to fix this? Thanks, -- Jim
