Keyboard problem

[Chewy]

Also is it a ps2 or usb keyboard? Whichever try to borrow the other kind and try it on your mobo! Might isolate the problem/hardware/software wise.

Perhaps this thread could be of some assistance: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~johns/kbukint.html

(I don't know cause I have never used a UK keyboard. lol )

We seem to have gotten completely away from anything
remorely connected to Digital Video, but that DEPENDS,
I always though I had an english keyboard, but then
I find out it's an american?

its a ps2 keyboard.i don't wanna buy another keyboard.

as I said before try to borrow a usb one, what if the problem is in
your ps2 keyboard port on the motherboard?

Ok i borrowed a usb keyboard and it has the same problem,how do i check if its a problem with the motherboard port?

its not the motherboard port causing the problem, as both usb/ps2 do the same thing. looks like a software/config problem now. i'm still thinking its a setting in windows...

So what am i gonna do?

First I would try going into device manager and uninstalling it then rebooting,
what's your OS? How long has it been up and running?

Follow the instructions here

That is what I was talking about when having the wrong layout for the keyboard. I have a US Keyboard and can shift between US and UK layouts.
