Wow, that looks like some regurgitated bits of HTML code put together... :/ Well, you said "what it looks like without editing". Is it a LBPC only issue or does it affect everything on the computer? Also, did you, by any change, happen to drop passion fruit juice on the keyboard? I have a history of that juice and electronic components... Not getting on well together.

Try a system restore to before the problem started.

Try a system restore to before the problem started. If it's a registry issue a system restore will do nothing. It could be physical as well, try connecting a USB keyboard to the laptop and see if it does the same.

Well, I decided to act like the bull-headed idiot I tend to be when I'm angry and rebooted my laptop... without doing a back-up first. Again. -_- Now I lost everything on it and there's still a typing problem (if you're curious, I'm using the main computer in my house). I guess I'll just send it in for repairs. Again. ****. Bloquear, por favor.

He did not mean a full system restore. You do this by going to the Start menu and right clicking Computer going to System Protection and clicking System Restore. Windows 7 automatically creates a new restore point every seven days. Unfortunately now that you've done a hard restore there is no way to recover your items, sorry.

Interestingly there's a pattern to it. Any instance of u, i or p becomes uip regardless of case. m becomes m, and so on. The t, e and o keys seem unaffected, however. Try another keyboard through a spare USB or PS/2 port on your laptop. You have another computer so use the keyboard from that. If the problem persists it may be a driver issue, see what Device Manager says. Now I lost everything on it and there's still a typing problem (if you're curious, I'm using the main computer in my house). I guess I'll just send it in for repairs. Again. ****. Unless the files have been overwritten you haven't lost anything. The easiest way to recover your files is to burn a Live CD and boot from it before running something like PhotoRec. Regular Ubuntu will do, although there are specialised distros for data recovery and forensics like BackTrack. A cursory search (https://startpage.com/do/search?q=data+recovery+ubuntu+live+cd) should give you all the information you need. Please don't waste your money until you're sure you can't resolve the problem yourself.

Bloquear, por favor. Bloqueio aceito. Anyway, you said you rebooted it. Did you mean format? I understand reboot as a simple system restart, but I may be wrong. But I know that formatting wipes your HDD clean.
