I don't know if this has been addressed elsewhere but my keys seem to be stuck mismapped in some programs such as DOSBox. A number of the symbol keys on the right edge of the keyboard are mismapped or nonfunctional (i.e. "\" key mapped as "]"). This limits the functionality of DOSBox and some other programs. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this or knows a solution or workaround.

Thanks

I had the same problem. The Windows Media Center IR receiver software messes with the key mapping. In my case the solution was to simply unplug the IR receiver. I did play around with it on a laptop with one built-in and it seems you need to uninstall some drivers.
