Keyboard typing wrong letters

Well at worst you could try a system restore

Firstly does your keyboard look like the one Reggie Rebel posted? If not, put the keys back where they should be.

There should be settings for keyboard or input language I think... Which version of Windows are you using?

From Microsoft website (where it says unities states choose united kingdom instead):

Windows XP
Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Run box, and then press ENTER.
On the Languages tab, click Details.
Under Installed services, click Add.
In the Input language list, click the language that you want. For example, English (United States).
In the Keyboard layout/IME list, click United States-International, and then click OK.
In the Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your computer list, click Language name - United States-International (where Language name is the language that you selected in step 6), and then click OK.
In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK.

Notice that the Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you position the mouse pointer over it, a ToolTip appears that describes the active keyboard layout. For example, United States-International appears.
Click the Language bar, and then click United States-International on the shortcut menu that appears.

Oh dear. Turn it off then on again? Then I guess try a system restore like RussJK said?
