Hello there everything was normal untill recently... now i can't type "@" because every window and every software that i hape up shuts down when i try to type it... the keyboard combo for "@" on my keyboard is "AltGr+2" it's a swedish qwerty keyboard. I managed so far by copying and pasting but now i have to register a software that i got and you have to go through the software to register it and type your e-mail in there and the copy and paste thing doesn't work inside the software ((( so everytime I try to type my email it shuts down.. very irritating.

Can anyone plz help.

Welcome to TSG!

Haven't a clue why it would shutdown, though malware is always a possibility.
Here's a possible workaround, switch the keyboard to English US, that should let you type an @ using Shift+2.
Would at least determine if it's the AltGr key, or the @ symbol that is triggering it.

Click Start, type Language and Regional Options, press Enter.
Click the Keyboards and Languages tab
Click the Change keyboards... button
Add the English (United States) US Default Keyboard if needed, and select it.

Might help to remove, then re-add the Swedish keyboard from this dialog.

If the problem persists after T.O.'s suggestions, boot to Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key once a second during the boot process. Using the up / down arrow keys, select / highlight "safe mode". Press "enter"

Then, test using your original steps.
