I found a problem with the keyboard entries, in the panels with the four arrows as, for example, in the render tab of the Setup Options, for the Depth of field.
I write 1.
I click on the right up arrow once. Result : 1.1
Right up arrow again. Result : 11.1
Right up arrow again. Result : 111.1
Right up arrow again. Result : 1.111.1
Impossible for example to get a number smaller than 1. If I write 0, and right up arrow : results are sequentially 0.1 - 1.1 - 11.1, and so on...
The problem is the same in all the panels from the software (for example in the dimensions of the light fixtures).
Hopefully, Al Hart found the solution !
The problem is in the "International Settings" of the computer.
Here is the answer of Al :
"Check your international number settings. ISearch for "international" in the start up menu in Windows 7: Then check the Decimal Symbol and the Digit Grouping Symbol to make sure that they are not both set to period."
So this was the problem : the symbols for decimal symbol and Digit Grouping symbol must be different. On my computer, they were both set to the period.
I changed it in period for decimal symbol and space for Digit grouping symbol, and everything works perfectly now...
Thanks to Al...

As you noted, the Decimal Symbol and the Digit Grouping Symbol need to be different, or else the formatting of numbers gets confused.
Here is the Windows 7 dialog for International settings:
