The fact that b,n,m and , are all next to each other has to be significant.
Can you take the keys off and clean under them?

I did that with the old one and it didn't work, so I bought a new one.
Guess what, still the same problem....

Reinstalled and all that, but still the same. :shock:

Thank you for all coments and suggestions :!:

Does the keyboard problem show up everywhere? e.g. not just on office/web? Can you type correctly in notepad?

I assume you've had a fiddle in
control panel>keyboard (e.g. update driver etc?)
and
control panel>languages (English UK, etc)

Updated drivers and all this, but using Deutsch (Schweiz) not English UK ;-)

Thank you anyway, WilBert :!:

Have you disconnected the keyboard from the PC and cleaned out the USB/PS2 connector on the PC. It could be dirt/dust across the connectors.

If it is a USB keyboard, try another USB port.

I assume you have rebooted your PC?

eagle224 · **Posted:** 26 Nov 2011, 19:19

If both keyboards you've tried have been wireless, have you replaced the battery or did you just use the old battery - wireless keyboards behave oddly when the battery is running low.

Why should that work? Very odd suggestion :?:

But he, it worked :!:

This is surely a wind up, as it should have said:

Instead of a bn a bnn appears, the saame with am where aam, appears

Not sure if I should take this seriously or not....

To make it more readable at the time I always had to press Backspace to erase the needless letter....... :mrgreen:

In the long run this is very annoying, but for clarification it was necessary.....

Keybnoard probnlem,
