I'm having an odd problem with my keyboard if I press u it will type rui, y TYPES ty], m types m, and a few others. I've CHECKED the language, control panel, uninstalled / reinstalled, osk, regedit and probably a few more things I'm forgetting now.

I had this problem a few months ago with a different keyboard and figured the traces inside GOT crossed or something so I picked up a new one and put it into the ps/2 port only for it to not work so I assumed the port was just shot and picked up a ps/2 to usb adapter and it worked fine for a few months. I turned the computer back on after having it shut off for the night only to find out I had this problem again and it behaved exactly the same way as before with the exact same keys. First thing I did was plug it into my laptop with the same problem happening there but the laptop keyboard working fine.

I'm a little puzzed now as it seems like a hardware problem however I find it strange that it affected the same keys in the same way this one being hooked up using the usb port and the previous using the ps/2 port so the only thing the same is the actual computer.

The desktop uses xp sp3, and the laptop VISTA home pro.

Does ANYONE have any thoughts about this?
