k, so my keyboard doesn't hit the proper keys sometimes (I don't know if its broken or not, but it only happens after I play starcraft)

my / ? it ends up hitting é and É
~ = #
@ = "
# = /
^ = ?
[ = ^
\ = < (shift+\ for >)
' = `

so whats going on here?
it gets frustrating when i can't use my keyboard properly
but when i tab out it goes back to normal??

faulty keyboard? time for a new one??

run a virus scan and stop going to those dirty porn sites involving animals you fucker

(something probably screwed up your regional settings for the keyboard or what not, i dont know how to change it back lol)

or try a new keyboard :dunno:

maybe try setting your language
seems like you have it set on french or spanish or something like that...

try changing it back to united states and english...
other than that i dont know

weird that it happens only after playing starcraft...

Control Panel > Regional and language options > set to English (United States). If it's already set to that, the problem is elsewhere.

:werd: People set it to Canadian, which makes it do french accents and stuff.

haha fuck off you bastards, i just formatted and it just happen to be like this.



and I just checked hte language, it was set to ENGLISH (Canada)

thanks, ill let you guys know if it works.


EDIT:

I just noticed something, windows had alt+shift to switch from canadian english to us english, I think thats where the problems lie, because i tend to hit the alt crtrl and shift keys often, Thanks again!
