And how can I fix it? Does this happen with a different keyboard? Try this and then post back with the results. Is this behavior something you need to do while playing a game? If yes, what game?

It never did it before untill I reformatted the hard drive Then get another keyboard! Borrow one from a friend or go to the store and buy one. You can get a basic keyboard for around $10 USD. However, before you go to what is apparently an enormous effort for you (perhaps you are wheelchair-bound or otherwise incapacitated) - after you clean-installed Windows did you remember to install drivers for all your hardware? If not, then that is your next step. Below is general information about drivers. If it is too difficult for you, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad) and have them sort it out. Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from: 1. The device mftr.'s website; OR 2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.). Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers. To find out what hardware is in your computer: 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer. 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway) 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too although it might not work on Vista. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor http://www.aumha.org/free.htm - Aida32 (hosted on Jim Eshelman's site) Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
