Default Keyboard has gone haywire - Help!

If you really believe that what ever you did "it must have caused the system
to go haywire" then you could run System Restore and roll-back a couple of
days to a time BEFORE you had the problem. This will restore the keyboard
back to its original settings.

On the other hand however, assuming that is *ALL* you were doing to cause
the problem - i.e. working on the keyboard *only* - then it is highly likely
that you've damaged your keyboard beyond economical repair and it just isn't
worth any further attempts to repair it (especially as you felt the need to
disinfect it!).

A brand new replacement keyboard can be bought for as little as a few $ from
most PC retailers (and even some supermarkets). At least there should be no
need to disinfect a brand new one!

Hi everybody

I have been trying to fix this problem for the past few days and couldn't
find much on the WWW that could help - so I'm resorting to posting a
question
online as it seems that the problem is unique.

Few days ago, I decided to clean my laptop's keyboard by disinfecting
them.
I basically used an antibacterial wipe tissue, but because I was rubbing
each
key one by one, it must have caused the system to go haywire.

Now, everytime I press 'm', the number '0' comes up. Likewise:
u = 4
i = 5
o = 6

I don't know what to do - is there someone who could help me?
