It's possible that you have multiple keyboard-layouts and somehow it got funky w/the settings/keys. see: http://www.typocheck.co.uk/dvorak/layouts/img/UK-Dvorak-layout.png & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964651.aspx

That is a little unusual, a malware/virus issue is also possible. If so, check into Avast(free version) -or- Kaspersky(paid) & formatting/reinstalling is sometimes a good idea. (Windows tends to take a shit after a while, some people reinstall a fresh copy every 6-12months) | |

| is it virus?/ Posted: 7/10/2009 7:52:39 AM | | Sounds more like re-bound keyboard keys. If you're using Vista, it's easy to accidentally click a hotkey that switches your keyboard layout to an international version of some kind - this drove me insane until I disabled the option. | |
