Hello all!
Reading your message boards and posts this seems to be the place to ask my question.

I am having a problem with my keyboard. It was working perfectly earlier today but now it's acting up. My c,d,e, three and 4 buttons aren't working (but they sort of are)

For instance:
When I hold down the Fn key or the shift key these buttons work perfectly.

When I type the word "When" the e works perfectly.
When I type the word "three" the e doesn't work at all.

When I type the word "perfectly" the e and c both work perfectly.CDE

When I press the three button it doesn't work, but Shift+Three the # correctly appears.

Computer is an Acer TravelMate C300.

So far I have:
Checked for driver updates.
Uninstalled the keyboard, reboot, reinstalled keyboard.
Checked accessibility options.
Antivirus is up to date...

Holy crap, what's wrong with my computer? lol

Configuration: Acer TravelMate C300
Windows XP SP
Firefox 3.0.1
