OK, so what you can do is edit /boot/grub/menu.lst like this:

 

First, press ALT-F2 together. I'm unsure of if you are using Gnome or KDE, so I will write both.

 

Gnome:

 

In the box that popped up type:

 

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

 

enter root password when prompted. Now, at the bottom of the file add:

 

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

 

you can copy and paste that text. Then save the file.

 

KDE:

 

Instead of the gksu command use:

 

kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst

 

the rest is the same.

Check that NUM LOCK isn't enabled. When I installed on my system, NUM LOCK was enabled and causing problems with the buttons not working as they should do.
