Not knowing which keyboard you are using, I can only venture that perhaps one fo the keys is stuck down. I have had stuff like that happen with a PC keyboard when one of the function keys or the alt key are stuck in the down position.

I installed USBControl, got a F-F adaptor, set it all up and hey presto, I can type to my hearts content with relatively little finger pain.
But now something has gone wrong... I had to refash the device in an attempt to fix a battery problem (that's a whole other thread ) and only just got round to reinstalling it again.
It's always been a pain because the keyboard itself is UK layout, and for some reason the actual letters it types are US layout, but I memorised which buttons I needed to push to get the right symbols pretty much the day I got it and that doesn't bother me any more.
BUT! Last night, I settled in for a night of typing and strange things started to happen. Every time I typed a " I got an umlaut! and the Umlauts carried on all over the text! I had Ä Ö and even ÿ !!
And then on top of that my apostrophe key has turned into an accent key!! So every time I pushed ' I got accents over all the letters!!
So now I have 3000 words of Umlauts and Accents instead of inverted comers and apostrophes, with letters that are accented all wrong and I've got to go through and change the lot..... It's going to take hours!
Umlauts and Accents aren't even on the keyboard in the first place!! And where have the inverted comers and apostrophes gone?!
ANYWAY! The long and the short of it is, WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?! It's never done this before and I haven't changed any settings or anything! I don't want it send another night typing and end up with this garbled nonsense again... Not that what I write actually makes any sense anyway... But that's not the point!!
Any help in solving my latest dilemma will be greatly appreciated!!
