Windows Key switches to constantly on causing all keys to become shortcuts

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I have Vista Home (on a Dell XPS-410) and at some point during a few

days of leaving my machine on, the keyboard acts as if the Windows Key

is always depressed: any key I press will act perform the

corresponding shortcut. Of course this makes it impossible to type

anything.

 

I'm probably activating some sort of Vista feature accidentally that

causes this problem, but I'm unable to determine what is causing it

and I'm not sure how to get the keyboard back to normal other than

rebooting the machine. I'm running Office, VMWare Workstation,

RemoteDeskop programs among others. Inside my RemoteDeskop session

the keyboard acts as normal.

 

If anybody has suggestions it would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks. --Austin
