Problem involving repeating keystrokes
I have an unusual problem and I can't find any answer on it anywhere. Nothing even remotely the same. A few days ago my PC started acting weird.. and I believe the cause involves keystrokes. When I boot up and go to type my password in (always the first keystroke) it doesn't register and it seems the password box just keeps repeating an enter command over and over until I hit a second keystroke and it will stop and I can type normally. The same goes with Firefox. I open up Firefox and always the first keystroke whether it's in the URL form, Google Search, etc.. will automatically be 'searched' for repeating. For example, if I went to type in Google in the address bar, it would not register and instantly as soon as I hit the first "w" the Firefox search bar on the bottom opens up searching for "w" repeatedly. Once I hit the second keystroke it will stop and I will be able to type normally again. Usually this happens only the first time I open a new Firefox window every time though. I haven't checked it out with other programs yet, but I believe since it's doing the same thing in the Windows user screen and then also Firefox it has to be a problem not just to one program.
I checked Sticky Keys, made sure they are off.
Ran all my anti-spyware/malware programs.
Full scan in AVG. No problems.
This started about 2 days ago. I haven't really installed anything other than a game and a few torrents. And I uninstalled the game anyway.
Hopefully someone can understand or has seen this before and knows of a solution because I am stumped and getting very annoyed.
Also, I have thought about doing a system restore back 2 days which I don't mind, but I am only seeing restore points from today 5/17 when I uninstalled that game and updated AVG. Other than that, there is nothing a few days back. And yes I checked off "More Restore Points".
