Keyboard on laptop completely messed up??

[Moneyman]

Hey guys, just about today my laptop has freaked out or something, now the keyboard is giving me random accents when I try to type anything. Writing this has taken 10 minutes away from me, and here I will show you a basic description of what happens when I don't correct my mistakes:

This is a very nice tutor~ial w`hich I would like to share to you today. I9 will be drinking beer and will show you `how 4to.

The usual CTRL FN SHIFT fix doesn't work for this... 🙁

Wrong Board.....

Anyway, Boot Into safemde, and do a virus scan.

You didn't spill or eating in front of your keyboard right?

He enterd His password correctly to log on (assuming he has a password set) So its unlikely to be a hardware Issue.

I remember when I use Avant Browser in Windows vista, and it sometimes showed random characters when typing, but it only happen in Avant Browser.

Could it be your web browser or other software miss interpreting your key strokes?

If Its happened suddenly, It may be malware, or something you Installed. I suggest Doing a scan In safemode.

A system restore to an earlier time when your keyboard was working fine may help as well since a system restore sometimes fixes currupt settings, and files with undamaged files from the system restore point.

You can also try using a Linux Live CD like Puppy Linux or Ubuntu to start your laptop from Ubuntu to see if your keyboard works fine in Ubuntu Linux from the Live CD. If your keyboard works fine in Ubuntu or Puppy Linux, but does not in Windows than your keyboard driver software or settings may be broken.
