Question:

What is wrong with a computer if the keyboard functions has changed?

All of a sudden, the keyboarding function of my computer doesn't work any more. It is not the problem with the keyboard itself because I tried with our keyboards as well but its the same problem. For example if I press letter r to type it, run mode comes up, or if I press e , My Computer comes up. I checked with an antivirus and it isn't a virus either. Every thing else is fine with the computer. And I use USB keyboard; also, when I restart the comp, and then open the on-screen keyboard it is fine untill I try the USB keyboard , and then the on screen keyboard functions change to the same way. What is wrong?? Can you please help?

Hey, okorder
seems to be you have enabled short cut keys. it happened to me just 2 -3 days back in jet audio I put space bar as play / pause for my media player but what happened when i was typing as the media player was playing it used to stop playing and doing pause function then i had to remove the short key function pl check if something similar has happened with you also.
Your SHIFT key has have been given caught. And for this reason you have become all those humorous characters which you're meant to get once you press the shift key alongwith the variety keys. i assume you're in basic terms waiting to now form in capital letters till you have the Caps Lock key on. only faucet on the shift key a pair of circumstances and it will pop up from its caught place. If this doesnot artwork, replace your keyboard.
(perhaps the asker means the functionality of the keyboard. This is the sense i get when i Read the rest of the question). I would suggest a couple of things, assuming you have a Desktop PC and not a Laptop. Firstly, it could be that the ALT key on your keyboard has stucked down, so everytime you press certain keys, the pc carries out instructions. Ask a friend or the IT department at your work/school to lend you an old but serviceable keyboard so that you may test this theory. Secondly, i would go to the website of of trusted antivirus software names. Sometimes, some antivirus software does not detect viruses that others may have 'vaccines' for. I would reccomend you to try Trend Micro's HouseCall, or Kaspersky's free online scanner. (type these very words into google). If you have a Laptop PC, you can always plug in an USB Keyboard and see if you get the same problems. If you dont, then it could be that your keyboard is faulty and you need a new one; With laptops, this condition is way more pricey than with desktop pcs. In the mean time, if you decide that you need to take it to a repair shop, i would reccomend you to make bakups of files; especially those with sensitive information and to remove any online passwords from your web browser; you never know who you're handing your pc to. Most IT people are very trustworthy, as we mostly prefer machines to people,therefore the lives of others dont really interest us, but there are those amongs us who are rogue, and its better for you to be safe than sorry: Look after your data.
