Backspace doesn't work in SSMS

This week, I installed SQL2K5 (SP2) on two W2K servers.

On 1 server (W2K Server), I deleted SQL2K and installed SQL2K5 using the default instance. This server works OK.

On another machine (W2K Pro), I retained my SQL2K default instance of the SQL2K db engine and installed SQL2K5 as a new named instance (i.e. SQL2005).

When I go into SSMS on the 2nd machine and edit an sql script, the backspace, home, delete (and other directional key) keys from the keyboard do absolutely nothing.

SSMS on the 1st machine works just fine.

I have looked at SSMS's customizations and tried several changes to no avail...

Does anyone know what I need to do in SSMS?

TIA!!!

you may need to re-install the client tool... select only workstation components from the CD and re-install it...

Have you changed any shortcut keys on the client tools of this installation?
