Hello,
I have windows vista home premium as OS in laptop and recently control keys have stopped working all of a sudden. Both the keys are not working. I removed the sticky keys....shortcut keys....but nothing is working...please help...
You TOTALLY ROCK. Thanks. My volume is back on - my function keys work. Thanks a mill. God bless you and happy energy over to you! Sweet! :) You made my day!
Hi, My rotate button when viewing any of my pictures does not function at all. I have tried using a shortcut key (ctrl+r) but still doesnt work then. What do I need to do to have this rotate button clockwise and counter-clockwise working again??
Your Solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Wow you are awesome! I've been googling forever to find out how to make my volume and brightness bars display again, and your answer worked like a charm! Thanks!!
I just encountered this for the first time. CTRL+C & CTRL+V would not copy and paste. I could see one burning out or something, but both control keys are not working. Tried a reboot and it didn't help.
I have a ps2 mouse and keyboard, both plugged into a USB adapter. Just unplugged the USB adapter and replugged it in and the keys work normal again. Seems odd that resetting the USB connection resolved it and a restart would not have fixed it, but at least it was a simple fix. Hope that helps someone else.
I have the same problem with windows XP (Dell laptop). Suddenly the Ctrl key started to be ignored. Please help me! can't do Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+F4 :(
I got many problems with ctrl and function till I remove hkcmd.exe from startup using msconfig programm.
START ->> RUN
type msconfig
ENTER
go to fold STARTUP / AUTORUN
uncheck hkcmd
APPLY, CLOSE
Restart.
Should be ok. If not back to the settings you had.
My Sony VaiO laptop suddenly hardly to use 3 buttons R, Y and U
It's still work but so slow and have to put 4-5 times.
Sometimes it's disappear when I restore my windows some previous days ago, but happen again after half an hour working.
I dont know why? might be virus or some function conflict together.
I saw in Task Manager a command wscntfy.exe (around 2Mb) when I kill it, the keyboard problem disappear. but it process appear again automatically. I don't know where is process from?

I got this problem in Word, in MS Office 2007 on newly installed Windows 7 (on a new Lenovo X200 laptop). The reason was a keyboard switch with a certain key sequence. See the tiny language icon at the bottom right corner of the screen? It got switched from standard English US keyboard to English multilingual (also had a French keyboard option). I went and removed all English keyboards except US. No more CTRL key problems.
Ctrlkey on my laptop HP6910 (WinXP) doesn't work from the left side, but it works from the right. In BIOS restored to factory default and it's resolved issue.
i think you have installed windows updates, bacause of these updatessome functions stops working. similar case was there with me. then I restore my system and everything was normal
I found very easy way to get rid of the side affects, it normally comes in when you have your laptop on for long periods of inactivity, just load back control panel and it should resolve the issue.
Hi Everybody,
I have given the laptop to the service centre and they have replaced the keyboard and everything is fine....for desktop it's rather much easy to check with new keyboard.
I bought a brand new dell a few weeks ago, and the control key randomly is hot so that when I press t in the internet browser for example it opens a new tab. It is really frustrating especially when it deletes things or exits from things.
Dell sent me a new keyboard, and I switched it and thought all of my problems would go away, but it still does the same thing. I am probably going to send the computer back to dell, but any ideas as to how to fix it?
My brand new dell studio is that way...but it's a different broken key every day. I have to slam down on the key to make it work, but the others work fine. then another day, it will be a DIFFERENT letter!
