KEYBOARD PROBLEMS WITH RPG MAKER 2K

I recently installed RPG Maker 2000 to my newer computer (a HP Compaq with Windows XP on it). I'd been using RM2K on my older computer (a Compaq Presario with Windows 2000 professional) for the last few years and I decided to finally switch over to my newer computer.
Now, I installed it and everything worked fine until I test played it and several of the controls wouldn't work.
Both my arrow keys and my enter/spacebar keys are not working. Esc still works fine, however, several other buttons which shouldn't have any function are taking over for enter/spacebar/z . I have no problems with my keyboard on any other program on my computer, so why is this happening?
What keyboard is your computer set to? (something like Control Panel->Regional Settings->Keyboards). If it isn't set for English (US) try using that.
I tried that, and it doesn't appear to be the problem.
I just checked again, and it's not just RM2K. Any games made with either RM2K or 2K3 won't recognize my keyboard except for the escape key.
However, XP games work just fine. So, I have no idea what's going on.
(whoops forgot about this) Sorry but I have no idea what's causing this. Did you try all the keys (Z/X, numpad-Enter/0)? Do you have a gamepad to try through that? If neither of these do anything I have no idea.
Actually, I switched to a different keyboard and now it works just fine.
I guess there was just something about my other keyboard that RPG Maker didn't like. What's funny though is that I used the same keyboard on my older computer and it worked just fine.
Weird.
