Each key on the keyboard types random characters?
I'm a student admin this year at my college's computer science labs. One of my tasks is to figure out why one of the computers is unusable.
I discovered that the keyboard would randomly type keys no matter which key you pressed. Example, if I try to type "Computer" I get results like: "a 33hPe*". When I did it again it one key put the desktop to sleep.
I've tried different keyboards and they all result the same, so I know there is something wrong with the software of the computer. (I'm guessing some hooligan logged on and messed with the machine).
Any help to fix this?
Thanks for the help confuzzl..., you are thinking on the right track - unfortunately this did not fix the problem (everything was set normally). So somewhere else is remapping the keys.

Because it is not a hardware problem your keyboard most likely got remapped somehow. Go to control panel, regional options and set the keyboard layout to match your keyboard.
Also, check the system tray for the language bar. If you see some two letters there like EN or FR try clicking it and choosing another language.
