Make sure that Sticky, Filter, and Toggle Keys are disabled.
This happened to me one time a few years back, or something similar. It took me awhile but i remember it having something to do with Sticky Keys so I'd say its worth a look.
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Accessibility Options
Look on the keyboard tab it should be the first one. Uncheck all boxes if they are checked. See if that fixes it.

Do you have a special keyboard driver that uses shortcut keys? If so, you can uninstall that driver and use the standard 101/102 key keyboard driver that is standard with windows. Check your device manager, if your keyboard driver is something other than "Standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard" you might want to change it to that.
