Keys don't repeat when held down unless FilterKeys is ON
So I have this strange problem, where I have to turn FilterKeys ON to have keys repeat when I hold them down. Otherwise, only one character appears when I hold down a key, and only one character is deleted when I hold down the backspace key.
I've tried searching all over the Internet for my problem, but everyone else suggests turning FilterKeys OFF instead - my problem seems to be the exact opposite.
I've tried checking the Control Panel and everything seems to be fine.
So is there anything I can edit in the registry or some files I can edit to resolve this problem? In the meantime I've tried editing the FilterKeys options in the registry to speed it up, but it still feels a bit annoying and it doesn't work until I have entered my password.
I don't have any restore points (for some reason they aren't automatically created) or anything that I can use to revert my computer to its original state.
I'm also worried about why this problem suddenly happens, and if anything else in my computer is affected. I've downloaded several files yesterday (though I deleted them all), so I guess it might be a virus problem? I've tried scanning with TrendMicro Housecall and my computer appears to be "clean"... Also there aren't any strange processes in the Task Manager. Might my computer be at risk? Are there any other good (and free) virus scan programs you would recommend?
EDIT: Oh, I would like to state that OSK works perfectly fine. It's just my normal keyboard that refuses to repeat without FilterKeys.
