My laptop's keyboard seems to be doing keyboard shortcuts with all of the keys instead of imputing text. Example: When I tap M it does the keyboard shortcut for Minimize. I can not stop it from doing this. And this is not sticky keys. Also it only will type things in the Search area in the start menu.

Also when I double click to open something it bring up what would appearer if I was right clicking. But it works fine if I use my track-pad. But the keyboard is still having problems.

I don't know how this started happening, and I don't know why it is doing this, I have already looked through the settings to make sure some crazy setting did not randomly come on. How would I fix this?

I have Windows 7.

Problem solved. I just had to reboot. I was running a virus scan before this happened (which I need to do more.) and I did not want to restart until it was done. Sorry! Though I wonder why this was happening anyway, and how I can fix it in case it happens again, and rebooting does not fix it.

No. Everything physically looks perfectly fine.

You probably have Sticky keys on. hit shift five times and a box should pop up.

I did that. It was not that. ( I also said: "And this is not sticky keys." )
