    I shall third the motion of getting a new keyboard considering they are only $5 to 10 dollars for your basic one. I didn't like the wireless one I tried out. :-)

    These are two links that should be able to help you. I haven't read it all through, but you should be able to for example remap a windows key to an alt key.
    Or maybe you should think of getting a new keyboard. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Just do what i do when something breaks.... take it apart and stick things in it. it can't get any worse.

    Thanks for that link ZupiCo, Im currently trying to find a way to remap my F13 key (I use an apple keyboard) to function as a Print Screen key, and it looks like using Scan Codes might be the solution. If I can just figure out what the correct string is. >_<

    I dont understand the whole remap thing so i guess ill buy a new keyboard =/

    My alt nor my right arrow key work, i dont use them much but its nice to know that all your keys on your keyboard are working.

    Thanks anyway.

    Forget all those fancy, pansy keyboards, this is the only one you'll ever need:

    I've got 2, they're circa 1984 and they are wonderful. Never had any problems whatsoever.

    Heh, just head to any computer store and look for cheap keyboards. My current one cost a massive £2, and has all the crap buttons you'll never ever use on it too.

    But as to your current one, there's a chance the contact is being blocked, lever the key off with a knife or something and see if it needs a clean.

    Eh.. a keyboard has 2 alt keys so what are you whining about? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    well if you need the task manager, you can alt-tab and right click the taskbar -> task manager.

    But get a new keyboard after.
