shift and ctrl keys not working

[Guest deacon]

recently had a swarm of trojans and virii on my computer due to a friend

'playing' around. i've since removed all of that software but have lost my

shift key and control key functions. i have used a keymapper and found out

that when i press the shift key on either side the computer recognizes it

being pressed as well as the control key simultaneously. i've lost the

ability to capitalize anything without hitting the caps lock and i can not

add type anything requiring the shift key to be used such as an exclaimation

mark or a question mark. i think it may be a registry issue but i have

reverted back a couple saves on my box and it has not changed the issue. any

help would be greatly appreciated as this is my only computer and i start a

literature class in a couple days lol.

First try another keyboard.

 

Secondly, you did not have "virii" on your computer. That is a made-up word that is

meaningless because the plural of virus is viruses.

OK. Another keyboard produces the SAME reult.

 

Reboot in Safe Mode.

 

Run; NOTEPAD.EXE

 

Test keys...

 

Do you get the same results ?
