Keyboard error?

Cyanide · 31 Mar 2006 at 23:05

I'm completely stuck with what seems like a keyboard driver error...

My computer (I'm on the spare at the moment) keeps scrolling left constantly. I can't type as it's writing words backwards, and I can't change any settings as it won't let me select anything other than the furthest left option.

I've managed to reinstall windows (typed in the product key in reverse!) yet it still won't work.

It's not a problem with the keyboard, as I'm using it at the moment, and I don't think it's a USB port error as the mouse still works fine in all the ports.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you got a PS/2 converter you could try?

Wouldn't help, I tried plugging a PS2 keyboard into it and still had the same problem :confused:

Anyone?

Reset the CMOS, seems to be working now I hope.

It wasn't set to a dodgy language, it was just scrolling left and whenever I pressed the E key it'd boot an explorer window :confused:

It's still doing it, it would appear to be an intermitant fault with something.

The keyboard is fine, no stuck keys, all the software and drivers are installed and it works perfectly on the other computer.

It does it even when I plug a keyboard into the PS2 socket.

I've done a full virus scan and found nothing, might try adding a second virus scanner just to be sure.

Any more ideas?
