i recently made a post about when i hold foward and attempt to use ctrl or kps they dont work..

i've now found that i cant press ctrl alt delete either! whats going on :S any ideas?

riddler · 12 Feb 2006 at 21:37

ctrl+shift+esc < this works
and i can run taks manager through going to run also...

**could it be a virus? when my comp loads msn comes and if i click something once, which normally requires a double click it loads and about 100 inet explorers pop although it goes after 2 min and seems fine'

might be worth running a virus scan and also some adaware/ewido to see if that detects anything.

Haha, well that's a joke

Download avast! and run that. Whilst your at it, download CCleaner and Spybot S&D

What about Spybot S&D, that should pick up anything...

picked up some crap fixed but problem still there

You have tried another keyboard haven't you?

Also, have you now removed McAffee and installed avast! ?

riddler · 12 Feb 2006 at 23:58

i didn't remove mcaffee i just ran scan yes i tried another same problem...looks like a job for formatt

Instead of just reformatting just try a windows repair or system restore to an earlier point, solved many a problem for me and you don't lose any of your files.

Larok · 13 Feb 2006 at 08:20

a system restore seems like a good move, did you try it?

riddler · 13 Feb 2006 at 18:56

no restore points

about to formatt now
