Long time no see!

I haven't had any problem entering a product key or otherwise installing VFP9 on Win7.

If you've got a new computer, maybe the keyboard is bad. Can you try a different one?

Some keyboards have extra, non-standard keys and require special driver support. If that's your case you might check that the driver is exactly correct for the keyboard, and check for updates.

If it's a laptop, some come with so-called "embedded numeric pads". When NumLock is on with those laptops, a lot of the keys on the right side of the keyboard are remapped to numbers. Don't know if it applies to you.

You could find out pretty quickly if it's any sort of keyboard problem. Just fire up Notepad, and type the letters A - Z and the numbers 0 - 9, see what you get.
