Have you tried a different keyboard?

Today, my computer has retuned a character that looks like an
upside-down L, (or a vertical 7) when I type a lower case 'l' in
windows. I noticed when I was unable to log into our firm vpn from
home as my password was rejected (in contains the letter 'l'). I had
logged on earlier in the morning. I have made no changes to my
system. It does not appear to be a hardware problem as, as you can
see, the 'l''s in this web message appear fine. In fact, I tried to
copy this character from a text file I created to test, and when it
is pasted into this message, it appears proper as 'l'. Additionally,
if I go to a dos prompt - the character appears properly.

I tried to restore to yesterday's restore point -- but windows tells
me that no changes have been made to my system.

As always, help is greatly appreciated.
