All of a sudden my keyboard has started bringing up the 'my computer' window whenever I hit e, itunes whenever I hit c, and the shift button occasionally doesn't work. Have tried running a keyboard test and it seems that the R-Shift is also activating the number between 2 and 4 (which comes out as '?' when hit) and the L-Shift is activating F2.

I have a windows keyboard. Is this simply a hardware problem or have I accidentally activated some shortcut routine?

Any help is totally appreciated!

have you had a look at Add/Remove software to see if you have Intellitype or some such software utility installed for your keyboard brand. If you find some you could either uninstall it (which is what I would do) or you can google it to find what command 'resets' the keyboard.
Otherwise, I'd try another keyboard.

doesn't seem to be any additional software installed, guess I'll just get a new keyboard. Any idea about how to do a reset of custom keyboard set-ups?
