Solved: letters
Hi i have a problem i have no idea on what it is or how to remove it, i have formatted my computer a few times already and the problem still exsists

and the problem is i get all these jumbled up letters appearing everywhere i type and its becoming a huge problem and it opens up my search for files box and it just does the letters

none of it makes sense to why this is happening

anzxcvyzxzzxvmzxm,zx,.zcvm,,.\
/zmzxc.*zxmzxm
zc.zc.zzxcv

as you see above it just happened
any ideas on what i can do about this

Have you tried a different keyboard, or tried this keyboard on a different PC?
Sounds like something may have been spilled on the keyboard. If a liquid gets spilled onto a keyboard, it's can get drawn between the plastic membranes that actually make up the key switches. Even after it dries, the residue that is left behind can cause erratic behavior.

Desktop keyboards aren't that hard to take apart and clean. Just be sure to note the different screws as you take it apart, as they may not all be the same length or type.
