Re: [Gimp-user] Almost no tools working

[Daniel Smith <opened to gmail com>]

i was looking at the keyboard, thats awfully small,
im just saying it may not have all the same functions on every computer,
but i saw this video, that the keyboard itself may have lost some of the
functions
in transferring from mac to pc, and needs rebooted?
thats a lot of factors. i dont suppose youve tried it with a mouse?
