Try this:

 

Sometimes modifier keys like Alt, Ctrl or the Windows key get "stuck". I didn't quite work out thewhy but sometimes it happens, as if the OS just doesn't see the key-up event.

Anyway, the usual way to get rid of that is simply by pressing all modifier keys once, so just hit Alt, Ctrl and AltGr and the issue should go away.

It's especially annoying with the Windows key, though, as this causes programs to start on every second keypress (E for Explorer for example). On a slow machine that can be frustrating.

Or this:

I've just has this same issue on OpenSolaris. I was typing away when suddenly (after I must have hit some weird key combination) the keyboard mapping changed "e" to print "€". After bit of testing, it seems that Right Ctrl + Alt + e returns the mapping to normal - not sure if this will be the same on Windows on not.
