Since recently,I am having a problem with certain key-strokes.Suddenly,when I Have the Caps lock on,then a letter got highlighted and the Caps lock gets reversed,meaning Caps locks on is now Caps lock off and then some letters are skipped.This happened quite often.Also when that happens,the shift-key does not function with the Exclamation mark.Any ideas guys? Thank you very much in advance. Matthew.

Hi Matt, Is the computer still under warranty? If so give Tech Support a call. Check in the Device Manager and see if there is a problem with the driver. Also see if there is an updated driver. If possible, try another keyboard and see if you get the same results. I had problems with keyboards because of contact points getting worn out and breaks in cables also. good luck, XDon

Hi Matt, I forgot to mention running SFC/scannow from the Command Prompt to check for a corrupted file. And also you can try to System Restore to a day before the keyboard problem started. Been a long day and getting old, XDon
