Vista - Keyboard keys not doing what their meant to

Hey,
I have the vista premium 64bit (only 2 days old) and the keyboard keys have gone mental.
They replace shortcuts and after a reboot the non-working/"bad" keys change so its a different set of letters.
Sometimes F will open find computer while other times it wont,and sometimes L will lock the pc while other times it wont.
Ive unistalled,reinstalled,updated the drivers.
Restored the system to two days ago.
Check all language settings.
Im at a loss as to what i can do next.

Any help?

I want to say you have a bad keyboard. The best way to test this out is to borrow another keyboard and see if the same problem happens. Some keyboards can be programmed, so this is another consideration.

I would but all the pc's i know of dont have a usb connection.

Also when i use the onscreen keyboard "L" still lock the computer.

But during BIOS the problem doesnt seem to be happening.

Oh and the NUM lock on/off makes no difference.

Conversely, you could take your keyboard to another computer. I'm assuming when you said the other computers didn't have a usb connection, you were referring to the keyboard connection and not the CPU.

Ok, i moved the keyboard onto my other pc that has XP installed.
Same thing,creating its own shortcuts etc etc.
Removed it and put my old one back in and had the same problem until i unistalled it from the device list and re-installed it and now its running again.

So the problem is in the USB keyboard,or its software that comes with it?


And thank you,its 4am and i never even thought of trying it on another pc.

Your welcome. The problem would seem to be the keyboard. Let's mark this as solved.
