[WT-support] Can't use "?" on ONE computer in callsigns

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hi Bob:

Well, if you are splitting an SO2R setup for running a M/2, it's tempting to just
leave the interface settings the same.  :-)

Switching to Radio 1 and disabling Radio 2 made no difference.  "?" works fine
in Alt-N - it isn't a keyboard problem.  Hotkeys isn't running unless WinTest
started it...There is a process called HKCMD which is an Intel Graphics utility.

I closed and re-opened the contest database to see if that was required to clear
the key assignments that were in Keyboard Assignments.  That also made no 
difference.

Weird...

Thanks for your prompt response.  I can't do extensive testing until after WPX.  :-)

I was hoping this would be something simple in the configuration.

73,

In addition to DEFINEKEYS, which should be double-checked to ensure that "?"
and "Shift-?" doesn't appear anywhere, is it possible you assigned a LUA
script to the "?" key at one point.  Type SCRIPTS [Enter] to check for
script assignment.

If you type Alt-N, to create a note, does the question mark key work?  If
not, I'd suspect a keyboard problem.  Another program like AutoHotkey can
also remap the "?" key.

Finally, there's no point in using "only a Radio 2."  Just change it to
Radio 1, keep the same COM port, change the COM port from "Radio 2" to
"Radio 1", and make sure the serial port settings are the same, and let us
know if that makes any difference.
