Solve : Computer HELp~!> keyboard trouble?

Answer»

My keyboard, it has keys that when you press on it , it writes letters that are not what they're asigned to be.

I.e. : Ezxa;mplseA:

original -> changed

s - ls      a - a;      : - A:

p----> takes me to a choice of opening outlook express or internet explorer

l - ls        x - zx      z - zx
. - ./       ? - .>?       tab - tab + q    q- tab

(but not all of the keys, just IMHO the commonly used ones are wrong)

What's wrong with my keyboard? I seriously need HELP with it.  

I don't think it's a software issue (I tried something sony sent me to cure this keyboard and it didn't work out), I think one of the keys are stuck and they need to be separated by taking the keyboard apart. Is that a possiblity or not?

Thank you again.

Btw, my keyboard is attached to my COMPUTER and it's difficult to get a new one or more truer  irreplacable.Keyboard attached to computer as in...  You're using a laptop?  Well, I suppose it's possible to just remove all the keys from the keyboard, clean it up, and put it back together...  I don't know if this'll work though, cause I've only tried taking TWO keys out of my keyboard =Pif its under warrenty .........take it back......have you done anything to it......like dropped it..?it could be that it has been setup differently with the windows xp setup. i know that the " on an amercain keyboard is where the is. Try checking your language settings?I don't think it's a language setup problem. I think the keyls are stuck maybe?or connected wrong.

I didn't drop it either though, it's a desktop, it's too heavy to carry and of course if I did drop it , it WOULD be broken by now. And the warrenty is expired.

BTw, I have a Sony Vaio W series that is a desktop that looks like a laptop but isn't.

Computer:PCVW500GN1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition

Is it possible that your keyboard settings in the control panel is set to Dvorak type placement? Dvorak is completely different from the qwerty placement.
Good luck
