My laptop at home is freaking out and I'm hoping someone here can help address the problem so that I don't have to system restore and set it back t ground zero. Here's the problem; the "A", "Q", "1", and "~" keys are all producing strange characters when pressed. For example, when I hit the "A" key, what shows up in any program I try to type in is ";()k", Pressing the "shift" key with any of the 4 problem keys nets a different result. Can anybody help?
