easy... 2 things to try.

 

1.. reboot your PC...could be a registry file messed someplace.

2.. most likely it's your keyboard. turn it upside down shake / clean it, etc....one of the keys pads is stuck and causing it to act erratically....do not drink and use your PC at the same time, is your first clue...but really just a key, like shift is stuck in the down click position.

Remember all keys have two functions, a down stroke, and up stroke which will cause your PC to react to some action.. well from a programming point of view anyway, but perhaps to deep here...but check the keyboard first.

 

Let us know..

Just a thought! if you have just reinstalled Win 7, what country did you set for your keyboard for when you were installing windows? as this makes a difference of where the keys are.

As @daytrader suggest, check and make sure keys are not sticking. Also as @grandad suggests, check region.

You need to install the SP1 that is available for win7 regardless.

 

To check and configure keyboard regions do the following:

 

Open control Panel and select Region and Language

 

Next, Select Keybards and Languages tab then click on the Change Keyboards button

 

Then see if the laguage is English and if not then just click on the Add button to add English. Once English is added then you can delete the other language(s) if needed. If you choose to keep more than one language then you will need to go to the Advanced Key Settings tab to set up the Language Switching hot keys.

 

If all of this does not work then I would uninstall keyboard drivers and then reboot to reinstall them.
