| Guest | 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 |
