I'm using Emacs 2.31 on Windows XP SP2.  My key mapping goes crazy at
unpredictable times.  Ctrl-Y maps to Ctrl-Z, "(" maps to ")" and vice
versa, letters map to Latin-1, etc.

This may happen within a few minutes of use, or a couple of hours.
I've tried reinstalling, and running off different drives, with the
same results.  Any help appreciated.

One possibility is that you have inadvertently typed Alt-LShift, which
switches the input language.  Look at the language indicator on the
task bar, near the system tray.

Thank you VERY MUCH!  That's exactly what was happening, and it's been
driving me up the wall!
