Very Strange Keyboard Issue
Salutations SevenForums People.
This week I started using a new PC with Win7 Ultimate. There is something wrong with the way my keyboard responds in all first person shooter games.
The move forward key stops working when I hit other keys. For example, when I hold the move-forward key down my guy will continuously move forward until I hit a strafe key or a melee key, etc. At that point my character stops moving forward and I have to release the forward key & then press it again, in order to keep moving forward.
In other words, it's not digitally continuous. The same thing happens if I strafe left, or right, or move backwards. As soon as I hit a combination of keys, the movement halts. It requires a constant re-pressing of the key to continue moving. In summary: My keys are 'interrupted' when I press other keys; they are not constantly activated when depressed. The problem does not occur with mouse inputs.
I've changed the keyboard & mouse, and the USB ports they're connected to, and the problem persists. I've done all updates to BIOS, operating system, chipset, drivers... 'Sticky keys' is not on, neither is 'filter keys'. My regional keyboard setting is English US, and that's all.
I've ran an antivirus scan & combofix & my system is clean (just reformatted). I've disabled everything except the necessities in system configuration. There are no infections or app threads disrupting me, and everything is fine with my PC except for this keyboard issue in gaming.
I'm at a loss as to what is causing this. It's a very tricky subject to search on Google, and I've had no luck there. So here is my forum post, hopefully somebody can suggest a resolution. Thank you for any help.
