weirdest thing ever

[theMan]

Ok, this will probably win the award for weirdest, and most annoying problem ever. About 5 days ago, I got pissed off at my windows key. So I downloaded a program called Intes Keychanger. I disabled the windows keys, and it worked great. Then today, I turned on my computer and wanted to go to imdb.com But it kept typing imdd imdd imdd. I tested it out, and the ?b? key now types a ?d? the first thing I did was switch keyboards in and out of the computer, and it?s a keyboard problem. So I uninstalled the keychange program, and it said it removed all registry changes and such. When I rebooted, the windows key still didn?t work and the ?b? key still typed a ?d?. how can I fix this? Where are these registry entries?

Thanks!

maybe try to reinstall the keyboard drivers

or reinstall keychanger and see if you can change b back to b

i already tried to change the b back to b with that program, it didnt do anything. where is the registry entry that does this?

Do a system restore to just before you installed keychanger. You will lose any changes or proggies installed since then though, hopefully you didnt do much in 5 days

For future reference WKeyKill (Windows Key Killer) works great. It's what I use.

i fixed it. i was at microsoft help, and i figured out how to disable the windows key with regedit. it said to get rid of the change, just delete the registry value. i went into my registry, and it was there. i deleted it. all better. thanks guys

In any case, you could always cut/paste the 'd' from somewhere else on the screen.

But well done for finding a fix that is a little easier

Why would you want to disable they window key? Can't you just not push it?
