keyboard and characters

I type on my keyboard, but totally different characters appear on the screen.
Have I inadvertently typed an unkownd keyboard shortcut combination?

What specific keys do you press, and what specific charactor appears
for each?

Re: keyboard and characters

Hello,

Ensure that you have selected the correct language at
Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages (tab) >
Details > Installed Services.

Remove the languages which you do not need from this window and see if it
resolves the issue.

Re: keyboard and characters

Unfortunately, I have not made note of what incorrect characters appear on
the screen, but when it occurs, it affects the entire keyboard except for the
numbers. I will make a note of things when it happens again.
