When I am typing in Word or Outlook, using a Microsoft keyboard, I frequently
get gibberish instead of the words I am typing. I can back out of the
program and go back in and then the typing returns to normal.

This started to happen after I installed SP2 on my XP-Pro computer and was
instructed to update Outlook from 2000 to 2002.

What I want to achieve is normal English spelling instead of gibberish.

Stop using your toes to type?

Sorry - I had to say that. Did you check to see if your drivers were
corrupt?

Are you using a laptop? If so, check that you haven't activated the 'numeric
keypad' on the right-hand half of the keyboard.
