Weird question here. I have windows xp service pack 2. When I use the
keystroke r mycomputer pops up, i brings up Itunes, the numbers 3 and 4 are
shifted, and both shift buttons when pressed give me the sign. I really am
at my wits end here. I've ran norton, ran spybot and spyware doctor, and I
have restored this back to before the problem started. Anybody please help.

What happens when you try a different keyboard?

if you are using that keyboard for
typing your posting,

then it looks like your keyboard is
ok.

------------

have you tried that key combination
with an "e" instead of an "r"?

------------

one way to test the keyboard is
via the on screen keyboard included
in windows.

try a Win Key + R or click on Start>Run
to open the "run" window

then type in OSK and hit enter.

you should get the on screen keyboard
and you can test your keys with the
mouse.
