the left shift key on my keyboard is now acting like alt+shift when pressed. It minimizes the current program and will switch to whatever else is running. I am still able to use my right shift key. Any help is appreciated.Two or three things to try.
Another keyboard.
Switch User.
Boot in safe MODE.
...
Don't use two resident AV programs
So you have a AV program installed? Which?
Who is your service provider?
...
Don't use their AV program.I had AVG installed prior to this, but just installed EMSISOFT to see if AVG wasn't picking everything up. So now I have two AV programs. When using another user the same thing happened.

I tried it in safe mode and still, the same thing. I ran AVG for a virus scan while in safe mode, but NOTHING came up.It may be that the keyboard is DIRTY.
You should understand that disassemble of the keyboard is not suggested for users who have not be entrained.
This article, I thin k, is reasonable and conservative. It recommends rubbing alcohol and air under low pressure.

Also, there are a number of videos on You Tube about cleaning your keyboard.
It can't be that. My keyboard is in good condition. It's only about a month old.

The strange thing is when I unplug the keyboard and PLUG it back in, the keyboard will function properly for several seconds before returning to how it is now. Do you think my keyboard has been re-mapped? If so, how can I fix this?What happens in safe mode?Quote from: Allan on June 19, 2011, 12:30:41 PM
