FrieChamp Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 That is roughly what it looks like when I type with my laptop at home these days. I just loaded it up one day and it happened. It's as if I set the language bar to "1337 sp34k". If I press "u" it types a "5", if I press "*" it types a "-". It's the same in every program and the same pattern each time I load up the machine, I just couldn't get any sense out of it. My AVG is up to date and didn't find any virii, same with Search & Destroy for spyware. Has anyone here encountered such a problem before? I'd appreciate any help! Thanks Quote
KoKo5oVaR Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 maybe you just got a bad contact in the keyboard ? Quote
Minos Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Have you tried checking "keyboard properties" under control panel ? Maybe its a driver problem who knows... Quote
FrieChamp Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 One bad contact can cause keys all across the board to be flipped? I checked the drivers, nothing unusual..I even uninstalled it, rebooted, only to see that they are there again. Maybe I gotta try it another time.. Quote
mjens Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 try to change language of your system to english and check is it correct - if not I don't know what could it be Quote
Sindwiller Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 maybe you've turned on the num lock? Probably... Quote
Spellbinder Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Punched a key to hard so whenever you press one key it shortcurcuit all the time, also try Start-Run-osk.exe just for aknowledgement. Quote
e-freak Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 One bad contact can cause keys all across the board to be flipped? yepp - you can easily check this by putting an external keyboard on the usb port - should show you if it is hardware or driver reasoned... Quote
