Stuck key in Windows.

I am not even sure how to explain this but my god is it annoying!

Yesterday I banged my leg into one of my desks, the computer that is next to that desk now has the "2" key constantly depressed. In Windows you get the ding as though someone is holding the key down, I have swapped keyboards and it still happens, I have tested the keyboards on another machine it they are fine, it is not a keyboard issue.

The bizarre thing is that it does not happen in Safe Mode.

Any ideas!?

Have you tried removing the keyboard driver from device manager, and letting it reinstall?

I can't login because it is constantly typing "2"

Try it in Safe Mode then, as you said it doesn't do it in Safe Mode.

remote desktop on to the machine, uninstall the keyboard from there?

I have just enable the on-screen keyboard via the ease of access as you login, you can still hear the ding of the key being pressed but the on-screen keyboard overrides it.

I have un installed the keyboard and the HID devices, rebooted, still the same!!!!
