Go to Device manager, uninstall the keyboard driver, reboot and let
windows install the driver.

Can you boot in safe mode by pressing F8 during boot?
If so, try to do a system restore to before the problem appeared.

Are the keyboard cables OK and plugged correctly?

If you have a spare keyboard, try swapping it and seeing if it works
with the other one.

Roger,

If you'd read his original post properly, you would see that he had SR
disabled.

My, my, we can't have that, can we - even though it's only a volunteer NG &
no-one's obliged to answer.

Go to Control Panel / Keyboard, & fiddle with the three adjustable settings
there to see if it helps.
(I DO suppose you've borrowed another keyboard since your first post on the
26th. to see if it still does the same thing???

For Gawd's sake stop wingeing, its only 26 minutes since your last post! It
takes longer than that for many people to just go to the toilet.

open device manager and see if the keyboard driver has an error, right click
on it and choose delete then choose "Scan for hardware changes" under the
action menu and that may work.
