I somehow missed the notebook part.

My idea was that testing using a cheap USB keyboard that Win 7 recognizes by default might prove/disproof a problem with the wireless keyboard device drivers.

Since IL2 doesn't recognize the NB keyboard either, that idea probably won't work.

I'm thinking that it might be a problem with a driver upgrade that's incompatible with IL2, since the problem came on suddenly after several weeks with no problems.

Clean the registry. Upgrade Win 7 to the latest version. Reinstall drivers. Make sure that both keyboards are recognized as input devices in the Device Manager. Upgrade IL2 to the latest version. If that doesn't work, roll back the keyboard drivers to an older version.

Those two different times in game are not evaluated on your post.

Good points. But the problem with being able to use the keyboard in the FMB or to change key bindings makes me think that he'll get the same problem from the other UI screens. It can't hurt to try, though.
