    Sounds like your keyboard...have you updated your drivers or anything like that?

    Heh. Sorry but it's not possible to change your keyboard layout via a website. Most likely you hit the short cut that changes it.

    Meaby this is the problem:
    Because of the main servers aren't in europe (where azerty keyboards are used) and this forum is "programmed" for a qwerty it changes my keyboard.

    But I happens sometimes after a short period and sometimes after a (very) long. And it are always other "trigger keys"

    Your keyboard or drivers are bugged, most likely.

    Do I need to reinstall it?

    No. That isn't likely. There is usually a short cut to changing the language of your keyboard, I do not remember what combination of keys it is but I do remember having hit them in the past and then wondering why the hell my keyboard was set to US style, that's probably what's happening.

    Alt + Shift? This changes my my keyboard to Mac layout for some reason, so it may be something along those lines.

    Yes, Alt-Shift changes my keyboard from USA(qwerty) to German(qwertz).

    Windows XP SP3 here.

    okay that is one step further
    the key snebbers says is indeed the problem,
    But how to change it back in chrome

    It's a windows settings problem, apparently. According to the link Snebbers gave, you can change the setup of what keys trigger the change.
