I got Problems when i just typing why ???

Hi All,
I'm having problems recently when typing my emails on Gmail with my HP Presario laptop. It's OS is Windows Vista. The letters and spaces are missing out and it's becoming a hassle for me since I have to type in the missing characters all the time. It's weird because I'm not having any trouble with anything else, like posting this one for example.
Maybe when I had my laptop reformatted, something has been changed in its settings or maybe something went wrong. I even removed some of my email contacts thinking that it might have gotten overload in some way, but still it didn't work.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
