Major problems

[Guest]

Where do I start>>right now i am typing with caps lock on>>>THIS IS CAPS LOCK OFF>>>the space bar acts as a scroll bar and i can"t access any of my numbers or lower case items on the keyboard>>>full stop<comma for example also when i try to click on a desktop icon they all highlight and the one i want won"t open and when it will they all try to open at once also one click highlights large blocks of text and i can"t click and slide to highlight a portion of text or even to locate the text curso

this is also doing heaps of other quirky things and my pc has been running fine for months and this all happened at once and i have also run several updated virus checks>>>>no virus at al

at my wits end any help would be appreciated running xp pro with a new TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED PLUS SYSTEM SOLTECK MOTHERBOAR

Hi

Try a System Restore back to a date when your system was working properly.

Hi Will,

I tried that to no avail but funnily enough all of a sudden it came good
about two hours later. Beats the hell out of me! Also two other things that
it did---It would cancel a full intentionally saved scan disk on startup and
I couldn't restart from the start menu--only shut down. In the start I did
get a popup saying I had held the shift key for more than 8 seconds and
that's when the trouble started.

I still would like to know what happened and how to prevent it happening
again.

Thanks anyways,

Mick.

Hi

Holding down the right shift key for 8 seconds should bring up the
FilterKeys screen - left shift doesn't do anything (by itself). I can't see
that those are going to cause any problems, unless you were in a particular
program at the time which objected to the 8 seconds.
