Keyboard does not work correctly

Comment:
For some odd reason my keyboard is not working correctly. Whenever i try to get a capital(hold shift) it does soemthing else. When i push L key its logs out. And more of this stuff, its almost as if i had a multifunctional keyboard from logitech which has these options. but its a keyboard without these features.
Does anybody know if there is something in XP which can do this?

Could be a stuck key. Try another keyboard.

Could it be the "sticky keys" option is switched on? When you hit the E key does an explorer window open?
Tap the shift key 5 times and have a look. If sticky keys comes up as turned on, turn it off.

checked that was not on either.
I am starting to suspect the windows installation is bad. since i just noticed my right shift key wont work either % sign and others are not possible to get either.

I'm with Jennifer, try another keyboard or try that keyboard on another pc.
If you are using a ps2 keyboard see if a usb one will work instead and vice versa.
It is best to rule out hardware before looking at software issues.
