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 UK0 -
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 Scan0
