Been trying to sort out my daughters laptop keyboard but with no luck. Every time you type 'e' it puts an = after it, same with 's'. Shes had a hell of a time typing her essays for her exams, and the OS has just been re-installed but its the same. Done the obvious checking settings in control panel. Can anyone suggest anything else it might be?
