    Basically, I cannot type now in firefox, or any games/online games. Right now I am typing this is word, because, well you will see. Basically when I go to type, it either does not let me, or makes these weird Chinese symbols come up. I haven’t intentionally done this, so I am not sure how to stop it. Here is what it looks like.

    Does anyone know how I can turn that off, because right now I can’t type… and it really sucks.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    If the img code doesn’t work, then here is a direct link, http://s919.photobucket.com/albums/ad39/bsbear/?action=view&current=wierd.png

    Thanks.


    P.S. WHATS WIERD, IS IF I HAVE CAPS ON, THEN THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN. (SRY FOR THE CAPS)

    A Clean Re-Install of FF solved the problem.

    This happens to me sometimes. You have switched to Chinese as the language. Just to the left of the notification area ( bottom right side) there is a language bar. Change it back to English. There is some key press combination that switches the language. It might be holding down the left shift or caps key, not sure.
