am facing a very strange issue with my Acer Extensa Keyboard and I cant find a fix after googling on keyboard issues. Today when I started my laptop after hibernation, two keys seem to have got remapped at some level.

1.When I press the spacebar 'Alt' gets pressed instead. (I can see 'Alt' getting pressed in the Windows On-Screen keyboard).

2.Pressing 'c' produces the ? symbol (and pressing Shift+c produces ). Here I see 'AltGr' getting pressed in the On-Screen Acer Extensa Keyboard .

Also pressing 'AltGr' prints ?. I used KeyTweak but it shows that the Spacebar is correctly mapped to the space. So I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies.

Any hints?

It will be your regional keyboard and language settings that need changing. Quite a common issue.

You can learn how to change these on Microsoft's help files on their website like this one
