    I may be in the wrong area, but I have a problem that I can't resolve. Something, or some program, virus, ect has altered my keyboard so that whenever I try to get a capitol c (shift+c)
    a page(URL) appears on my screen, I've tried several suggestions ,and all that I know (I'm not a programmer) to correct this problem, All I want to do is get my keyboard back to normal so when
    a shift + c is typed, I get a capitol c, can anyone help ???

    I should have stated in the original post that many malware and anti virus programs have been run.. No problems detected. Thanks.

    There's a registry key that holds values for keyboard combinations which has probably been altered by malware. If after you post in the Malware forum here, and after following suggested malware removal, the problem still exists, return to this thread and ask for me to post a link to a .reg file that resets the keyboard to its defaults.

    Have you checked that your keyboard is configured for UK!

    Hi,
    I've marked this as "RESOLVED" several times but it isn't showing up as so at the thread.

    I've found a "error in the reg. which has been fixed Thanks to all who helped.
