Keyboard only typing numbers in sequence, num lock OFF

not exactly sure how to do that, can you explain please?

Can you open your keyboard settings and see what setting you have up?

It should be normal USA format.

~Lordbob

Yes I've checked and that's the only one I have...

Keylogger. Malware. Rootkit? Sorry to be an alarmist but it's the only thing that fits thus far. I hope I'm wrong.

Suggests to me you have some weird background program running if it sort of works fine in games but wigs out on IM and other applications. Run Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and try also posting a HijackThis Log.

I ran both of these programs, and here is my lengthy hijack this log, thanks so much. Sorry if its really a pain to look at.

if you use on screen keyboard, does it do the same thing? if it works in safe mode i suggest you try doing a cleanboot to try to find the offending program/driver.

On-Screen-Keyboard works normally but is way more annoying then holding down alt...

the OSK suggestion was just to understand more where the problem was coming from than a solution! Have you tried the clean boot option, i do believe that could help reveal the culprit, especially as there is no problem in safe mode.

Yup, and all it said was that there were program that run when it starts... which is way unhelpful >.>;

Then it has the nerve to ask me if it fixed my problem <.<;

read the link i posted for cleanboot, it explains to remove all startup stuff then reboot, then to allow half to start, and so on. it is quite a reasonable way to narrow down the problem. Also I notice you are not the OP, so please try to allow him to respond, as this really was who i was directing my advice. (it would be nice if it fixed your problem also!)

Ok, well having found the time to disable different startup applications I found that if I disable an application called "GID Desktop Application" I no longer have to hold Alt because the keys are working normally and I feel a sense of frustration leave me as I can now play my games again, thank you Pusspa for the suggestion, I'll probably build a small shrine in tribute to you as a token of my gratitude... if you need me I'll be shooting zombies... lots and lots of zombies... because shooting anything else just isn't as much fun... well... maybe kids but I have yet to see that game >.>;
