I have this issue with my right arrow under vista RC2.
This is my output when pressing 10 times right arrow:
~bñ= n= n= bñ= b~

Other keys work like they should and I don't have the problem in xp/linux on
the same machine..;
TIA

Not a software bug. You have a bad keyboard. If it's under warranty, have
it replaced right away.

I had the exact symptom, with the arrow key transmitting the exact same
erroneous signals. Turns out there's a keyboard diagnostic program on the
Dell utility partition that displays a keyboard map and shows what key
signal is being transmitted to BIOS every time you press a key. This
diagnostic proved to Dell that the KB was defective. They sent me a
replacement overnight, got it the next morning.
