What I have noticed on this lately is that Outlook is the program that
sometimes has the wrong keyboard settings. Access and Word are unaffected.
Version 2003.

The hot key for changing keyboard layout is ALT (left one) + SHIFT or a user
specified one.
You could check in you control panel Country settings>languages  if you have
multiple keyboard layouts installed. Remove those you not need, keep only
the one you need so when hitting accidently the hotkey can not swap to
another layout because there is only one.

But I find your changes pretty bizar at my knowledge not corresponding with
specific country keyboard layouts (at least those I know).
I seem to remember there is a spyware/trojan/virus/keylogger having this
effect, I believe a searchbar addin for IE.
So if I where you I would download the MS antispyware beta (or any other but
the MS one is the best I ever seen) en scan your computer for these.



Greetings.
