If you have a USB keyboard, you can always unplug it for a few seconds.
One of the nice things about USB, I never worry about hot-plugging.

Hello ,

Also, make certain you are not using some program that stores
keyboard macros (I use Iolo Macro Magic).

Another possible answer are keyboards that allow you to remap
keys or create keyboard macros. The older Gateway keyboards used
to do this (check and see if you have any keys along the top
right side that say "Store" or "Record").

Some of the newer multi-media keyboards do this as well.

But, like Hedley said, try a cold boot---completely power down,
wait a few seconds and then bring the system back up.

HTH,

Dennis Hays
