That worked OK, but I ordered a USB keypad thinking the problem would be solved. But not, and neither did a re-install. I found that (at least on this VAIO) that NUM 5 is not recognized at all under FS9. I tried to assign NUM 5 to a function and nothing appeared on the screen. How about that! So for now I'm using the keypad '*' and it works. I'd like to hear from others with this experience as I had this software on a HP notebook without any issues.Ken
