You have a stuck shift key!
turn the keyboard upsid down and tap in on the desk.
clear up the crumbs and try again.

The shift key may be stuck as mentioned. I've run into a reverse caps-lock
situation a few times in XP that was not due to a stuck key. Have never
figured out what caused it but restarting the computer fixed it each time.
