Typing gobbledegook into browsers
I am having quite a few problems when typing text into my browsers, particularly Google Search or entering a URL.
My PC operates MS Vista & I currently have three browsers. IE by default, Google Chrome (which is my preference) & Safari, which I loaded one day when Chrome was running very, very slowly.
Basically Safari is working fine. I have no problems with it, and I used it to set up this request. But when I type into Chrome I get gobbledegook.
For example, if I type Microsoft , I get }asdfghjk. The search is done on the basis that I requested} asdfghjk. Type Microsoft again & I get £4567890-
But if I type the same letter many times over I get different results. E.g. the letter q (10 times) I get vbnm,./-+\. But if I try again & type qx10 this time I get nm,./-+\12.
Other applications work fine, such as Word, Excel etc.
To try & fix this I have bought a new keyboard. No change.
I have ZoneAlarm security & ran a full Anti Virus / Anti Spyware scan. It took over 3 hours & identified no problems at all.
I mentioned that I have Internet Explorer. This has the same problems as Chrome. In desperation I loaded Firefox. This also displayed gobbledegook.
Has anyone got any great ideas? Many thanks
