Hi, this will be short.. I know for a fact I have some sort of vIrus that's affecting my keyboard. Like if i type 'computer keyboard' it types c\omphutegr keyb\oagrd <-----this is why my message is so short. Any help \would be great!!

Have you tried ( borrow ) another keyboard?

Yeah, I have a USB plugged in now, but I borrowed a ps/2 keyboard and still the same thing.

Check to see that you are using the appropriate keyboard layout for your chosen language, under Control Panel -> Regional & Language Options -> Languages -> Details The very notion of a "keyboard virus" is completely without foundation - those issues are always traced to bad hardware or settings I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter

I tried that, i live in the US and its set on english (not UK) so that shouldn't be the problem. i've tried different keyboards and still the same. Why would it be so weird if there was actually a 'keyboard virus'?

Since you've tried different keyboards, that rules out any keyboard defects. If the problem still occurs when booting from a self contained OS, such as a DOS bootdisk or Knoppix CD, that would rule out virus entirely, and indicate bad hardware - most likely a bad keyboard controller, which may or may not be repairable Hardware can't really be infected, and there's no 'payoff' to screwing up someone's keyboard - most modern trojans and virus are propagated for profit, and are intended to go unnoticed in order to accomplish their goals. Sure - many things are possible, but it's not at all likely ... sorry for the delayed reply I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.
