Strange keyboard input problems.

Whenever I press the normal keyboard Enter key, it outputs a ".+" and (if keyboard shortcuts are activated) it also opens up Outlook express. The enter key is not providing its normal function otherwise. The keypad enter key opens up HP Help (which not surprisingly, was no help) as well as toggles the Caps Lock. Does anyone have any ideas as to what can be done to remedy this? Operating without a functioning enter key is horribly frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Check keyboard properties in the Control Panel. Make sure it is set to United States 101
Ummm unless you arent from the US

If that doesnt help try another keyboard.

It was set to US101, I changed it and then changed it back, and it didn't do anything. Still no use of either Enter key.

Operate it in dos and see if it works right. If it doesn't, the KB or KB controller is bad.
