shift and ctrl keys not working

[deacon]

recently had a swarm of trojans and virii on my computer due to a friend
'playing' around. i've since removed all of that software but have lost my
shift key and control key functions. i have used a keymapper and found out
that when i press the shift key on either side the computer recognizes it
being pressed as well as the control key simultaneously. i've lost the
ability to capitalize anything without hitting the caps lock and i can not
add type anything requiring the shift key to be used such as an exclaimation
mark or a question mark. i think it may be a registry issue but i have
reverted back a couple saves on my box and it has not changed the issue. any
help would be greatly appreciated as this is my only computer and i start a
literature class in a couple days lol.

First try another keyboard.

Secondly, you did not have "virii" on your computer. That is a made-up word that is
meaningless because the plural of virus is viruses.

OK. Another keyboard produces the SAME reult.

Reboot in Safe Mode.

Run NOTEPAD.EXE

Test keys...

Do you get the same results ?
