[ cf-dev ] OT: Windows Key Stuck!!

[Andy Hall]

Hi,   Sorry for the OT, but this is driving me mad!   I have experienced a problem with Windows where now and again it acts as if the Windows key on my keyboard is pressed down. Hence, if I press 'e' it loads up My Computer, if I press 'r' the run box comes up.   Now, my usual solution to this problem is to "mash" the Windows key and all those around it; after a few seconds of frantic key pressing it resolves itself.   However, this now appears to be happening on my remote server after a technician stuck a keyboard in earlier today for a reboot. The remote access software does not register pressing the Windows key on my keyboard; it seems to apply the event to my machine and doesnt pass it through to the remote server.   Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it without having to explain my mash theory to a technician over the phone? Last resort is to reboot the server again, but I really dont want to go that far for something so seemingly petty.   Any help greatly appreciated.   Andy Hall.
