Probably stupid but... (+25 rep!)

[OMGitsaROSS]

you owe me rep

and do you mean don't or do?

[--ss--]

becuase microsoft made it like that way to make ti eaiser for us to do things , i think you can chnage them / trun them of some way :s

[Describe]

To some of you this might be a dumb question, but, why do shortcuts like Ctrl+V (Paste) etc, work for me :s

I think sid ment they dont work.

It'll be something to do with you're actual keyboard
I think it may have limited things maybe , or that NUM migh be off?

l[ I dont think NUM makes a difference ]l

[Robzor]

As people said, it works for everyone, on allsorts of comps

[OMGitsaROSS]

if it isnt working
try CP and change it all?

[Ostinato]

They work on all - their just basic set commands lol.

Mac computers use like "Apple & v" though...

[Seatherny]

lol brandon.
They work for everyone.
Eg. CTRL+P = Print
Ctrl+c = copy
ctrl+a = highlight all
ctrl+x = cut

[benjamin]

i think he ment DIDN'T work for him?

anyway, i'd look into your keyboard & mouse settings in control panel.

[Teenager!]

Could be a fluke.

Might be that your settings are incorrect, or you may not have Windows.
Might be that you don't have an edition of Windows with it on? Unsure.

Will both keys work seperately? If so, it's not the keyboard it's probably the settings.
