And the same thing happens. It works on the logon screen, the session

We plugged the keyboard into my laptop and it works fine.

I don't get it.

OK, one more time. I switched into my account on the wife's computer,
and the keyboard works! So I've setup a new account for her, and it
works there. That means that all her account-specific setting are
unavailable, of course, but at least the thing works.

Can anybody think of an account-specific setting that would disable
the keyboard?


When you Personalize (use the control panel or settings item),
there should be one or more language choices. This would be
a per-account preference. It might be in the same area where
you set currency display, numeric display with commas/periods,
that sort of thing.

I had to delete an entry in there, so my damn keyboard
would stop changing to French (cedilla, grave, acute).
It used to randomly switch on me, in the middle of typing
a sentence.
