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-->

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. >_<
Forget all those fancy, pansy keyboards, this is the only one you'll ever need: <a href='http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4706&item=4128625996&rd=1' target='_blank'>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4128625996&rd=1</a>
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.
