I think it's a user problem. You must now go outside and reboot yourself. I recomend a 30mm, just to be sure.

Easy fix. Just pour a can of Coca-Cola on your keyboard. It will stop.

You failed to be convincing by ignoring one simple item, your orignal statement is not handicapped in any way.... please don't quit your day job :aok

Otherwise it may be a lose nut between the keyboard and the chair. :rofl

Check that your game controlers buttons aren't being pushed while stored but hooked up.

I have stick and throttle covers, the ones with the red flag saying 'remove before flight'. At times these covers can activate the buttons and hats ontop of the stick.

Another thing to do is to pop off the space bar on any other keys that are giving you probs and make sure the keyboard bed is clean and free of any sticky stuff.

Last resort is to take the keyboard apart and clean it inside, but when you put it back together make sure it does so easily and the keys are free moving in their slots/holders. If none of these solutions work and the keyboard isn't one that requires specific software to be fully functionable, I've had the same problem as you because of corrupted KB software, then it's time to replace the keyboard, they're really cheap these days.

One last thing. If you are using wireless for both the mouse and KB then simply changing channels for one or the other may work.

YMMV

i went back and deleted the extra items to fix the original sentence smartarses - it really wasnt that challenging, bit time consuming though.  it wasnt a troll, why the **** would i troll about my keyboard?

unplugged everything plugged everything in again and restarted and it seems a lot better.  only problem i get now is when i press the down arrow i get `

i think it must be possessed.

I had similar kind of problem with my lousy Logitech wireless keyboard. Re-installing drivers helps, it will fix the problem for a period of time.

Thanks Flatbar, Wasq.

Tried cleaning keyboard, areas were not blocked.  Will try reinstalling drivers later.
