keyboard-malfunction

As--you--can--see--by--this--question--my--spacebar--is--not--working.

Other--keys--that--are-malfunctioning--include--semi-colon/colon--apostrophre/quotation--delete.

Unaware--of--anything--that--caused--this--because--it--worked--fine--up--until--I--logged--off.

Have--tried--everything--that--I--could--from--uninstalling/reinstalling--driver--to--checking--for/installing--updates--but-nope--nothing.

One--IT--suggested--that--I--run--my--hands-back/forth--across--keyboard--a-couple--of--times--to--see--if-that--sovles--the--problem--(lol)--and--if--that--didnt--work--to--replace--keys--on--keyboard.

Anybody--have--any-suggestions--as--to--what--the--problem--could--be?

Thanks--in--advance.

Appreciate--the--input--but--it--is--individual--keys--that--will--be--replaced.--Each--button--has--a--pad--underneath--and--they--wear--down,--so-Ive--been--told.
No--need--to--replace--entire--keyboard.--Thanks--for--the--suggestion--but--Ill--wait--for--feedback.

Just as a test, click Start, "All Programs", Accessories, Accessibility,
On-Screen Keyboard. See if it works correctly. If so, you can get an
external kb, or send it in to be fixed.

A hardware ng might be a better place to ask, btw.

Thanks--Elmo

On-Screen--works--it--was--first--thing--I--checked.

I--can-replace-individual-keys--apparently.

I-was-told--that--pads--under--the-keys--where--down--it--would--be--cheap--to--replace--them--and--that--it--could--be--done--on--the--spot.

Youre--right--a--hardware--ng--is--a--good--place--to--ask.

Will-do--that--thanks.

Excuse me. Great feedback Rachel. Please find somebody else to help.

Elmo, just curious, but is it possible that MS Word could have something
to do with the problem I'm having? It seems to have started there.
