Apathy Sketchpad

Today, I got to wondering what the three buttons on my keyboard marked “User1”, “User2” and “User3” did. First, I looked at Time’s support site. Since they are not considerate enough to allow me to email them without quoting my warranty number, the nearest page I could bring up was one about changing the keyboard layout. It read:

Incorrect Keyboard Layout
The following should identify and resolve your problem:
Click on Start, then Settings, then Control Panel
Double click on Keyboard
Click on the Language tab at the top
Click on Add
Select English (British) from the menu
Click OK
Remove all from the list except English (British) by highlighting and clicking on Remove
Click OK
You may get an error saying it can’t remove one of them because it is currently in use. Click Yes to this
Shutdown and restart the computer
Has this resolved the problem? Yes/No

Well, no, it hadn’t. I clicked no. It then brought up a page that read:
