Last week when I was going into my bank account, my password was incorrect for 3 times and my account got blocked for safety purposes. Later, when I called the bank, the password I entered was correct but didn't knew what was wrong. Similar stuff happened 2-3 times while going other websites. Today, when I was logging into NBR, same thing happened again. It said incorrect password. As soon as it happened, I opened up a notepad and typed there. To, my surprise, the keys entered were incorrect. When I entered A S D F, it entered TYUI and similar incorrect entry.
Also its not a permanent issue, after a while it gets fixed itself. As right now, while typing this, its working fine.
Any idea on this strange issue?

are you running a wireless keyboard? have you looked into any online forums regarding your specific kind of keyboard and any issues that may have occured?. Could your computer have been hacked and someone is running a keyreader?.
I used to run a wireless but the lag and incorrect spelling (all the time) really annoyed me, it esspecially happened when the batteries were about to go in the damn thing and it was always at the worst possible time. -
I would suspect malware or possibly you language or keyboard layout was changed somehow.

Its not external keyboard.
I am talking about the M17X Keyboard.
So, how come it gets an issue and fixed itself if it was some settings problem?? -
Well it was just a guess. Weirder things have happened. Could be a program changing the settings, could be malware activating once and a while. Could be something totally different, was just trying to give you a couple ideas.

Hmm...
So a OS reinstall then??? -
Is it possible that you have another keyboard type set up? Maybe Win 7 thinks you have a differany keyboard in place. Maybe check device manager and try uninstalling it in the device manager and restarting.

Also try using a known good external keyboard, see if it does it there too. That would tell you if it's a software or hardware issue.

I already tried the external..
It works fine.
I used a USB keyboard and there was no issue but only with the M17x keyboard.
Now its working fine and have to wait until it starts screwing up.
