I've been running Windows XP home with multiple accounts for several years
and recently my administrator account will not allow upper case M or K to be
typed in any program or text entry situation. The limited user accounts and
new accounts are unaffected. The only way it works is if the Caps Lock is
on. I've checked for viruses and looked on the internet and found nothing
similar to this. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

What type of keyboard? Is this a laptop?

If this is a laptop you may have the Numlock turned on which turns part of the keyboard, including the M and K keys, into a numeric keypad.
 
No, it isn't a laptop. The strange thing is that only the computer
administrator account is affected.
