Hi.
The first, but unfortunately scary question that I'll ask is this: Do you have current, or for that matter any virus protection on the computer? There was one quite a few years ago that did what you are talking about. It would modify characters that were displayed on the screen.
You may possibly have a problem with the computer, but it would, if it were a hardware problem with the computer be a bit more regular. Also, the way you describe the problem shows that the correct character is stored in memory because it shows up correctly on the board.
If you don't have an anti-virus program, you can get them inexpensively, or even download trial versions for free. If you do a virus check, and still have the problem, you might want to have someone look at your computer.
Good luck,
Dee.
