    I have Windows XP on my laptop and all of a sudden the keys are printing out the wrong characters.
    1. "i" prints "5"
    2. "j" prints "1"
    3. "k" prints "2"
    4. "l" prints "3"
    5. "m" prints "0"
    6. "o" prints "6"
    7. "p" prints "*"
    8. "0" prints "/"

    It's not anything in Regional Settings as I checked that against my other laptop and it has the same settings.
    The keyboard is not damaged either as I took out the hard drive and installed another drive with Windows XP on it and all the keys printed fine when I booted it up and used it.
    I am wondering could it be a virus? i used it on the 'net briefly without ant-virus but that was a few weeks ago and it's been fine since then.
    I installed MacAfee and it's doing a system scan right now.
