However, the following workaround should provide a temporary solution.Take a sheet of paper and a pen - and draw a diagram of your keyboard.Boot your computer into Safe Mode - Command Prompt.Then, press each key in turn. So if you are using a QWERTY keyboard, you would type QWERTYUIOP{ }.On your diagram, write down the upper case character that each key produces. Repeat the process for the lower case characters - and also for each row of keys.This will probably take a while but sooner or later, you will have a record of which key you need to press for every character.
