I am running windows 7 and when I run specifically game programs for example, Team Fortress 2 or even some flash games, my keyboard layout changes to a foreign language. What happens is every letter key on the keyboard begins typing 123456789 in sequence, I think its possibly an eastern language keyboard layout that does this. It might also be the input language changing and not the keyboard I'm not sure. This only happens for games, so I was wondering if there was a default game keyboard layout registry entry or some kind of setting, and if I could change it. Also the keyboard input becomes normal if I hold down the ctrl key or the alt key, which leads me to believe it is definitely switching between two input languages/layouts. So for example if the z key normally types z but instead is typing 12345 it will only type z if I hold down the ctrl key or the alt key. The arrow keys and the spacebar work normally for me in games. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, Before going any further, I would to verify did this issue occurs with other programs? I suggest to perform to troubleshoot the issue: 1 Check the game whether it is compatible with Windows 7 or not, you can check it on Windows 7 Compatibility Center the game which incompatible with Windows 7 will cause unrespectable issue. 2 Reinstall the Keyboard driver. Uninstall the Keyboard in Device Manager and scan for hardware changes. 3 Go to “Region and Language”---“Keyboards and Languages”---“Change Keyboards”, remove the useless keyboard and press “OK” 4 Update BIOS to the latest version 5 Login in with Clean Boot to see if the same issue occurs. 6 Press the defined keys to change the input when running the game and see if it occurs next time. Hope it helps. Regards, Leo HuangPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Thank you very much for you help. It turned out it was the driver for my touchpad that was causing the problem so I reinstalled it and everything works fine now.
