Installing within windows messed up my key mapping in a bizarre way

[Dishonorable]

So I've discovered Ubuntu and am thrilled. I have an old laptop I've been using for work (A Gateway M505) and I wanted be able to use Ubuntu (while keeping a windows boot option) on it without too much trouble. Lucky for me, I can now install within windows and not have to reformat the diminutive hard drive that came with the computer.

I installed, it worked great, I was happy. Then I needed to go back to windows in order to use excel spread sheets with macros that were sent to me... no problem, I boot up only to discover that the right half of my keyboard has been remapped in a terrible way, most letters will now output numbers. I reinstalled the drivers for the keyboard and even tried to remap manually using a tool called "keytweaker"

Now I know that I shouldn't expect people here to have a clue how to deal with a haywire windows system, but since it is with out a doubt a problem stemming from the within windows ubuntu install, I was hoping that the issue might seem familiar to someone (though searching these forums didn't turn up anything).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ok. I've got a couple more details figured out about my problem:

1) The remapping of the keys is basically configured like the right side of my keyboard (Which does not have a numpad) is a number pad... I have the keys for 7 8 and 9 correctly mapped, but below them U I O P are mapped to "4" "5" "6" and "+". This trend continues for the two rows of keys below as well.

2) I had an external keyboard attached to the usb port of the laptop when I installed. I'm assuming that this somehow was assumed to be the main keyboard during the windows portion of the install (or something along those lines)

3) The keys are still configured correctly when I boot into Ubuntu

Any advice at all would be appreciated, I really need this thing working by monday :(

Nothing at all?

Installing ubuntu has nothing to do with changing something in Windows. It is totally seperate. You need to look at a cause from within windows. It may have something to do with the external keybaord you used when you installed Ubuntu. I wuld suggest going into Control Panel-->Keyboard and check what your default keyboard is.
