| 377883 | 2005-08-03 10:34:00 | Hi, I just wondered if anyone could help? When I press e on my keyboard, es appears! And it is the same with K. when I press K, kw appears and so forth with quite a few other keys. It is getting quite annoying! Is it a virus or something, as the keys aren;t dirty or stuck together or anything. Thanks! |

| 377884 | 2005-08-03 11:21:00 | I *think* it may be a problem with the language settings of your keyboard. go Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Languages tab, Details, and ensure language is English - US.. Or the appropriate language | roddy_boy (4115) | ||
| 377885 | 2005-08-04 04:19:00 | Control Panel > Keyboard or Regional Options > Input Locales is probably what you want. There can be trouble when anything with "US" tagged to it is not used. Eg, change from English [New Zealand] with US layout to English [UK] United Kingdom and your keys get remapped for you. Put it back to NZ or US English and you should be right. |

| 377886 | 2005-08-04 09:00:00 | Is it a laptop keyboard or an ordinary desktop keyboard? I have this similar problem with a Toshiba laptop and it's the keyboard problem by itself. Apparently, nothing much can be done to eliminate the problem other than replacing it. Have replaced once already and after 2 years, the same old problem developed. It's too expensive to replace a laptop keyboard and I just got an ordinary USB desktop keyboard and plug it in. This seems to be quite a common problem with laptop computers - have come across several of them already. |

| 377887 | 2005-08-04 10:15:00 | Hi, It is a normal desktop keyboard that came with my Compaq Presario. I will try the regional settings though and get back to you. Thanks! |

Go for the above and I hope it helps. Have you tried a friends' keyboard in the same system unit? If that works then go get a new PS/2 keyboard for about $30 or even less. Check first though that the keyboard has not been remapped. There is a program I had yonks ago that would remap the keyboard. Try Google "remap keyboard" |

| 377889 | 2005-08-04 10:27:00 | I came across a similar problem a few weeks ago Checked all keybd settings etc. no joy. I thought it was just dirty (cause it was in a sawmill & covered in dust etc) Spent yonks stripping and cleaning it Same problem I taught the sucker a lesson though. I spent $30 on a new one! |
