Hi All
It is on a laptop so swapping keyboard is not possible.
If I boot to DOS i can type without any problems.
If I boot to windows xp I am able to log on without any problems and use the
computer for a few moments until all the programs that start have started
and then the keyboard thinks the Ctrl key is pressed down.
I have asked the user what website he has visited, what he has downloaded
and what attachments he has opened from friends etc. He says nothing.
End result is that is was working fine yesterday and not today. In dos the
keyboard works fine.
I am sure it must be an installed program that he has installed without
knowing. Like the programs that disable the windows key for game playing
etc.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks to you all,
Frustrated Admin

Since you did not get my drift, try changing the keyboard.
Never overlook the simple things.
