shift key/caps lock and window's media centre

I have just received a new acer laptop with win vista premium. For 2 days
the keyboard worked fine. However, now if the right shift key is pressed to
enter capitals, a capital is written, caps lock stays on and the windows
media centre launches. Additionally, CAPS LOCK has a similar effect. Only
the left shift key is unaffected. Any ideas? Thanks

Personally, I'd contact Acer straight away.
It is under Warranty, and brand new!

Always; unfortunately.

And the comp companies only work mon-fri(business hours) for support!
