As--you--can--see--by--this--question--my--spacebar--is--not--working.

Other--keys--that--are-malfunctioning--include--semi-colon/colon--apostrophre/quotation--delete.

Unaware--of--anything--that--caused--this--because--it--worked--fine--up--until--I--logged--off.

Have--tried--everything--that--I--could--from--uninstalling/reinstalling--driver--to--checking--for/installing--updates--but-nope--nothing.

One--IT--suggested--that--I--run--my--hands-back/forth--across--keyboard--a-couple--of--times--to--see--if-that--sovles--the--problem--(lol)--and--if--that--didnt--work--to--replace--keys--on--keyboard.

Anybody--have--any-suggestions--as--to--what--the--problem--could--be?

Thanks--in--advance.

Appreciate--the--input--but--it--is--individual--keys--that--will--be--replaced.--Each--button--has--a--pad--underneath--and--they--wear--down,--so-Ive--been--told.
No--need--to--replace--entire--keyboard.--Thanks--for--the--suggestion--but--Ill--wait--for--feedback.

Just as a test, click Start, "All Programs", Accessories, Accessibility,
On-Screen Keyboard. See if it works correctly. If so, you can get an
external kb, or send it in to be fixed.

A hardware ng might be a better place to ask, btw.

Thanks--Elmo

On-Screen--works--it--was--first--thing--I--checked.

I--can-replace-individual-keys--apparently.

I-was-told--that--pads--under--the-keys--where--down--it--would--be--cheap--to--replace--them--and--that--it--could--be--done--on--the--spot.

Youre--right--a--hardware--ng--is--a--good--place--to--ask.

Will-do--that--thanks.

Excuse me. Great feedback Rachel. Please find somebody else to help.

Elmo, just curious, but is it possible that MS Word could have something
to do with the problem I'm having? It seems to have started there.

Cool, Im sure you can understand how frustrated I am right now. I wouldnt
know a joke if it slapped me in the face. Been trying to resolve this
problem since yesterday morning. Computer problem, eat, sleep, and then back
at it again.

No worries.

Best Regards

It's not likely. But look at the LEDs that are lit to see if some
strange kb mode has been turned on, with a Fn key, combination.

Holy Sh*t, there is Elmo. I noticed it before but never thought any of it.
When I press fn and F10 or F11 the green light goes on. What do I do?

Keys are mechanical devices and mechanical devices can obviously fail.

I don't understand how several keys could mechanically fail simultaneously,

See if the same problem also occurs in windows safemode.If didnt perform
system restore to nearest good working point.I would also recommended to
disable all startup items and remove unnecesssary and un used softwares from
computer.

Why ask HERE? This is a physical problem and not a problem with the
OS, meaning the question is out of place HERE.

Ask elsewhere
