>>Hi,

>>For no apparent reason I started to encounter a problem in Internet Explorer when switching to Russian keyboard layout. On internet pages having text fields for typing, like Google Search for instance, entered characters do not follow keys on the keyboard, and do not follow any other known (for me) layout.

I do not have any other browsers; and at the moment I would not like to add anything else.
Yes, it could be some plug-ins, it was the very first that I tried to uncover. But I could not find anything added or suspicious.
I guess there are some settings regarding keyboard layout specifically for IE, but I was not able to find anything in the registry that would draw my attention.

Thanks
