wierd key problem

by tailz8 Jul 29, 2007 7:22PM PDT

well this has just started to happen today, i havnt downloaded anything new, i hav pretty heavy anti malware protection (AVG, PC-cillin, spy sweeper and avast!) but i did clean my registry yesterday morning :s.

the problem:

a few letters on my keyboard are messed up: when i type "o" "o-" appears on the screen, "k" - "ke" appears on the screen:

K = ke
O = o-
H = hu
F = ft

there the ony 4 keys that do it, wierd? help?

(fairly new computer, keyboard, install of drivers O/S)

has like the key configuration been changed to do this? can i set it back to defualt?

thankyou

( " its realling anno-ying to- type because thuese fto-ur letters chuange thuemselves huelp me please muchu appreciated " )
