Help! Tab, W, WindoWs key malfunctioning

[HelloWorldCool]

I don't expect anyone to give a confident ansWer but it Would be nice...as you can see I can't type "W" at all.... on my keyboard. I have to copy and paste. I can press all the keys doWn but they don't Work...they're like stuck. And no they don't do something else like close a WindoW or another function, they don't react at all.

No, this doesn't have anything to do With the MCDzienny softWare. HoWever seemingly i never had this problem until today suddenly after playing in game: minecraft beta. So i might have pressed something or some keystrokes Which led to Tab, W, WindoWs key not Working. I noticed because i couldn't move forWard...Which is pretty scary

I read online some ideas but they all have failed...except: to uninstall my keyboard driver...i Will probably do that soon.

P.S. This is no joke.

Try sticky keys.
Try shutting down your computer and booting it up again.
Try removing your 'W' key gently from the keyboard, clean underneath from dust and ensure it functions as intended.
Try re-installing any drivers related to your keyboard.

Tried sticky keys. Turned on and off... Didn't Work
Tried rebooting.
Tried removing the key and cleaning underneath...these 3 keys stopped Working at the same time as Well, so i highly doubt it's the keys.

I also decided to try a system restore, but that didn't Work either so I did a undo.
I Will try reinstalling sometime...hopefully though i can figure out What keystrokes i pressed...

But thanks for the advice Conor

I have also verified that this has nothing to do With stuck modifiers.

Seems to be that the keys just don't respond...or function anymore.

Hmmm, its always hard to tell whether its a hardware or software problem.

If you re-install the relevant drivers and you have system restored, but there is no change, then it could be hardware :/

Not the keys being stuck, but maybe something small within the wiring of the keys. You should try and use somebody elses keyboard and see if that makes a difference, if it does then you know it is hardware and you can go and buy a new keyboard! ;D

I already knoW it's not hardWare... isn't MY PC; It's more of a family pc. The computer's pretty neW...less than 1 month or 2.

Ok so I uninstalled my driver (PS/2 keyboard)
and it actually did not fix the problem.

So therefore the problem lies with software settings...I have no idea how i'll be able to fix this one.

Other info:
Interestingly enough default settings for function keys was special mode, and not standard mode.
I know where i can change function keys, but i don't know where i can map each individual key. On the other hand it may have nothing to do with mapping, and that i simply disabled these 3 keys somehow.

Did you ever get around to fixing this?
I'm a wiz at computers, I might be able to help you, but I'm not gonna help if its alrighty solved, lol

[HelloWorldCool]

No, it's not solved yet.

Lets see...
I need some information from you before I proceed..
1. What OS are you running? If so, what architecture?

And sometimes if you use a certain key a lot the key stops working on the keyboard.
Also, did you try typing the same things with another keyboard?
