Newbie Media Center wizard setup ? RootesRooter 05-17-2008

 I'm stuck in the initial Media Center Wizard Setup!!! It requires an email
address to complete the setup. At this field the keyboard strokes go wacky.
E.g. Attempting to enter two "5"'s generates a "5" and then a "J". None of
the shift characters on the top row will show, including the "@" symbol.
Repeatedly pressing the shift and "@" generates, in progressive, repeating
order, a "3" an "a" and a "b". Pressing shift with other top row characters
generates similar (not identical) results.

I'm running VISTA on a new Fujitsu Lifebook A Series. No other problems or
erratic behavior noted.

 Does this problem happen when you use MS Word or anything similar apart
from MCE?
What happens if you use MCE Remote Control?

have never encountered anything such during configuring vista MCE.Could
you kindly attach screenshots?

At what point in setup is it requiring an e-mail address? I've run through
MCE setup in Vista, literally, hundreds of times and have never entered an
e-mail address.
