Oops, Should have read the whole first page.

When I had this problem it was a physical device that I could simply unplug to sort the problem, if you have anything like an infra-red remote control for like media and stuff.... it might be that
I think there might be a special remote control for my computer but I don't use it. How would you unplug a remote control anyway?

I had like a usb receiver for a remote which I could just unplug.

I found no such thing. It may be built right in to my computer...

Oh dear.


Also try pressing a bunch of keys.
(LShift, RShift, Ctrl, Alt, and any other key that may affect keystrokes)
Sometimes the keys will stick in blockland and cause you to type in all-caps or something.

Is "Mousekeys" on? That also breaks the keys in blockland which relate to buildings (numpad). I know that's only the + and - accounted for, but just to be safe :P

I've never heard of "Mousekeys" how can I check if it's on?

Hit numpad a few times and listen for any loud hardware beeping.

While doing anything, if its Mousekeys.
