Keyboard Shortcuts

I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts in SW 2007 SP 2.1. The keys I assign to my macros keep re-arranging themselves, and they don't work at all when I first start SW. I get them to start working when I navigate to the macros section of the keyboard shortcut menu, where I usually have to re-assign some of them.

The real problem is that in fooling around with this stuff, I've somehow lost my "down arrow" key. It still works for panning, and the up, left and right arrow work for rotating, but the down arrow doesn't work for rotating anymore.

Anyone know how I can get it back?

Thanks,

John Kimmel

I'm encountering this problem too, but it's not the same on all systems as far as I can tell so far. I'm contacting my VAR about this matter now.
