Well not totally random - hitting any key repeatedly will cycle through all the characters in qwerty order. EG. Pressing 'q' will first display an 'a', then an 's', 'd', 'f', and so on. It worked fine earlier. Nothing changed as far as I know. It does this on the (HP) laptop keyboard and the Logitech wireless keyboard. Tried rebooting, removing batteries on wireless, etc. Mostly tried while working in Chrome and IE. Any ideas what is going on?

Dear Uncle Buck
Will it type wrong characters only while on Internet or with all of your word processing software?
Do you have a qwerty or acerty keyboard?

I just read that you are in qwerty.
Go to your control panel, check the language settings. Looks like you are on acerty, perhaps French language. Often in Canada they say!

Again, typing the same key presents a different character each time, following the qwerty keyboard layout but starting at various characters. Pressing the letter ‘a’ 13 times just now resulted in: nm,./-+\123456
