317730 2005-01-25 01:42:00 Are your running XP? Saw this problem on a friends computer running XP and to correct it go to Control Panel -> Accessibility Options and ensure the Use Sticky Keys tick box is UNTICKED. Reboot.

If not XP , then afraid not sure what the issue is.

And if that doesn't work visit the forum's Spyware, adware and viruses FAQ (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz 16) and follow the instructions to see if the computer has anything dodgy on it that could be causing the problem.
