Default Keyboard has gone haywire - Help!

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?


I just corrected a similar problem with my keyboard having a mind of it's own.
It seems i had a "Trojan Horse" virus in my "System Restore". My anti-virus
caught the (2) infections while scanning with the "Windows" Malicious
Software scan" (which by itself did not find anything but my own anti virus
software did during the scan). I sent the infections to the vault then
deleted them. I then deleted all the system restore points in my PC and set a
new restore point.
My keyboard works fine now.
Hope this helps!!
PS : My operating system is XP and my keyboard is wireless.


The orignial poster's problem was probably that Num Lock was enabled
on his keyboard.
