I have been having this problem for quite a while now, and I thought it was a problem with my keyboard, however upon getting a new keyboard today I'm experiencing the same problem.

The zero key on my keyboard doesn't seen to do anything, however when I press shift it does produce a ")." I am not experiencing this problem with the zero key on the keypad, that works fine.

What I have noticed when I press the zero key while I'm typing is that is seems to remove the ClearType or something. Screenshot

The Ds are before pressing zero, the Gs are after.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy at this point.

Thanks

No, no one has access to my PC other than myself. – Will Jul 14 '12 at 7:25
Huh, weird... I'm assuming your keyboard and language are both set to English? – Mehrdad Jul 14 '12 at 7:49
Yessir, checked them both – Will Jul 14 '12 at 7:53

If found a solution.. of sorts. I downloaded the following msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964665.aspx Upon opening this program my zero key started working without making any changes whatsoever.
