Hello! New and in trouble!
Hello everyone, this is my first post of many to come I hope =)

.... helping others that is.

for now, I have a problem with my keyboard. I am no idiot when it comes to computers, built my own, install my own, and I'm a student in IT (networking, vista, server 2008, ect ect)

I recently downloaded Windows 7 (It is legitimate, evaluating it for testing from technet.com)

I am concerned, as my current keyboard is not receiving the delete button on my Lycosa Razer Keyboard. I press the delete button, and it does not delete anything. When editing documents I must use the backspace, when in games I simply cannot press it at all. It has no effect.

Yet I know it is receiving SOME sort of signal, because whenever I have a text highlighted, and I press delete, it deletes it. Not because it's working, but because it recognizes I pressed something and is trying to replace it. Such as if I highlighted a text, then I pressed the key "D" it would replace the highlighted text with "D". When I press delete, it replaces it with nothing.

So important facts are-
Delete button is not being read correctly
The button is NOT stuck, I have sprayed it out numerous times.
I am running Windows 7, recent clean install
I have updated all drivers for my system (minus the total motherboard package for incompatability reasons)
I have tried downloading Razer's Driver, and it has not worked.
The system recognizes a button is being pressed, and the lycosa driver application shows that it is being pressed during a macro creation test.

I am completely stumped, and I have no Idea why it is not working!

if you need any other details or have an answer, please respond =)

Thanks

Jake

Did you try a standard keyboard, it it works correctly, this would make me think the Lycosa keyboard has a problem.

I am currently typing on an older DYNEX keyboard, and it will not let me use the delete button to delete text. These keyboards all work on other machines. All of my keyboards are clean.

Thanks for the post, I appreciate it.

All I can suggest is to try another clean install.
