Ok, I basically restarted the Laptop and all's okay now....it obviously had a funny turn, lol. Anybody care to explain why it happened, if you know? thanks again!

You must have activated Filter Keys, I think. That's always one of the first features I turn off, along with Sticky Keys, after I install Windows because it interferes with my Tomb Raider playing

To turn off the feature go to Control Panel, Accessibility Options, and on the Keyboard tab make sure Use Filterkeys is deselected. Then click on Settings and deselect Use Shortcut, to make sure you don't activate it by mistake.

I used to have that, except I had rotate turned on. So whenever I was playing TR and I pressed alt and the right arrow, she'd suddenly be on the right hand side of my screen lol.

Ahh good times,

Happened to me too at some point. Sometimes, when you press a specific set of keys for some time, that's the result. My last weird one was my keyboard settings changing from Portuguese to English. Not sure if that's the result of Raek using my laptop or Rafa standing on the keys! Doesn't happen for a while now though!

Probably Rake, lol....dodgy scouser.

I forgot about this thread, sorry it's been so long! It was the filter keys, and it happened by pressing the shift key for over 8-seconds (I held it while I figured out what to type, lol). I have now kept them as they are by default, as i've never had any problems with them before. Thanx for the input guys!
