Arrows, PageUp and PageDown refer to the dedicated keys and not those on the numeric keypad. You should ensure that NumLock is set "on" when working with Wincaps Q4. You should enter numbers using the top row of the standard alphanumeric keyboard. Where a shortcut requires the Alt key you cannot use the Alt Gr key.
