I need help with this problem because my keyboard is realy starting to f*** up on me. Buttons I can't press I have to copy and paste causing me to slow down on typing. It sucks. Then it presses buttons that I don't press and pops up windows realy pissing me off. My backspace button isn't working properly and neither is

I had to copy and paste all that crap. When I press one of those buttons it either acts like the caps lock key, pops up a window, or just doesn'y work at all. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I was looking around online to see if I could find some help but couldn't. I don't think it is a bug or anything because I scan my computer everyday. Please, I am in dier need of some help.
I don't know how to fix it but sometimes you need a new keyboard
or you need to install the software it came with all over again.
It could even be caused by some malicious spyware, since you
seem to be getting lots of pop ups.
I had one nasty spyware that kept starting up my CD drive!
And then everything else would freeze up.
Creators of spywares should be gathered up and sent away
to a sinking island.
lol, that would be funny, but our spyware problem still wouldn't be fixed. Its not spyware either. I destroy spyware with adaware and hijack this. Both realy good tools but hijack this gets the problem done
Do you eat near your keyboard? Even if you don't, when was the last time you took off the back and cleaned it? Usually I find that mine has some sort of goo in it like coolaid or something sticky trapping dirt and bugs like the gnat I just killed on the screen and it fell in to the F keys. Dont use carb cleaner or brake cleaner. It works miricles but it will stick everything like super glue (I ruined a good keyboard that way a while back).
Or you could drill a number of shafts 10 meters wide and 1000 meters deep and drop them in one by one kicking and screaming. When the shaft is half full just cover it up and go to the next one. ROFLMAO Absalom

Before you dump them in the pits let me trample a bit (more) on each of them. I have some extra pounds available that I can use to make them more maleable, so that you can put more of them in each shaft. And I would get a good workout too :-)
Then round up the spammers, the virus and worm writers, the Nigerian scammers, the scr ipt kiddies, the Russian spam mafia and Bill Gates and do the same.
After it is done seal off the area and put some easy understandable warnings around it so that nobody would come to dig there for at least a few centuries.

ROFLMAO yet again, I agree with you 100%. Absalom
Or dig an underground tunnel into the earth for 200 feet, place a piece of cheese at the end, make the spyware idiots follow till they reach the end of the tunnel and blow the hell out of that tunnel. :P
The problem is they make money and they paid off the government, so the people need to speak up to get the laws changed.
If the people give up and go back to watching TV when their computers fail, then I guess the few of us who remain on the Internet should figure out a way to poison the spyware data. For example, when spyware data mines my computer for a web address, maybe I could configure my computer so the spyware would be missinformed to think I'm using a Atari2600 at a URL the same as Bill Gate's web site. Then THEY would be the one's confused and spending tones of time and money to try to figure out what is going on.
For now I guess the best option is to add Linux or other open source software so I can see everything going on in my computer and connection to the internet.
try booting with a boot floppy, and see if the keyboard works
if it doesn't, well, get another keyboard (i would gladly give you one off my stack, since i have no use for PC keyboards, but I guess we're not that close physically)

Try checking the obvious, such as your cpslk; shft; ctrl; alt and any other custom keys o make sure they're not stuck. Also make sure you're not operating your keyboard under another language setting as that can create problems. After that I'd go to the control panel and go into your keyboard properties and check your settings and troubleshoot. You will probably have to reboot. If none of this works you could unplug your keyboard, (if that's the type you're using), and reboot and plug it in again and try one more reboot or a search for new hardware.
Good luck Dwayne. - Longhairguys1 aka: John

These symptoms point to a hardware failure in the keyboard itself, most likely an interrupted connection or dead input/output in the keyboard's logical circutry. Try another keyboard - even an older one can be used with an adaptor. Anyway you can find cheap keyboards at a used computers shop.

Sounds like you need a new keyboard - they get filled up with bits of dust etc, which eventually get sticky and stop some of the keys working.
A new keyboard is a lot cheaper than new fingers.
Sounds like you need a new keyboard. Over here, it only costs a couple of quid for a decent one.
Not worth getting grey hairs over it, I had the same problem with my old keyboard. Replacements are very cheap.
