    Sometimes Windows gets it's underwear tangled and it'll say something whilst not actually doing it.

    So what you have to do is change it to another language (eg US English) then change it back to UK

    It could be a computer virus that is changing the key strokes into random characters.

    Start > Run > msconfig

    Disable every thing on the start-up tab

    Save

    Restart

    Run Virus Scan
