i seem to have the same problem my ctrl key doesnt work at all no combinations work at all. I have looked for the past 3 hours on google for forums that can help and i havent come across anything that works. the problem is on my laptop so i cant connect another keyboard (i dont have a usb keyboard and i dont wan to buy another one so all of these comments like 'buy a new keyboard' are retarded and unhelpfull) i dont have the OS disk for windows so i cant reinstall windows i currently have SP2 installed and it says i may be a victim of counter fit programings blah blah blah... my ctrl key has worked fine up untill 3 days ago and the counter fit message has been present for over a month now so im ruling out that as affecting my keayboard. i ahve removed the ctrl key and cleaned it and tried 'mashing' the button and it still doesnt work. all my other keys are working fine, i have been in the language sentings and so on and my language hasnt changed and i have fiddled around with the sticky keys and what not.i have reinstalled both mouse and keyboard drivers...i have looked on google for free key binding or key swapping programs and havent found anything that works. please reply to meow-ish@hotmail.co.uk

try another keyboard to check if there is something wrong with your os settings.
1. if it works with the new keyboard , your keyboard is the problem.
2. if it does not work w/ the new keyboard still the same problem, os settings in the keyboard is the problem
