Keyboard typing wrong letters.

On my sisters computer, she's running WinXP, her keyboard is all messed up. When you try to type a certain key, let's say the letter "e", when you hit it the computer shows "4e" or when you hit the space bar it goes "e " with the space following the letter e. All the keys are messed up and type different stuff than what you want. Anyone know what could be the problem? Her kids probably messed something up and they've been asking fo rhelp but I don't know where to start.

Howdy and welcome to CTH:

First thing is to go into Control Panel and check to see what language the keyboard settings are..

Then, go the Regional and Language options and make sure those weren't changed..

Well, the easiest troubleshooting would be to try a different keyboard..
