    Ctrl key is pressed automatically randomly itself


    Hi
    Recently we have had a strange issue. We are ruining windows 7 and on few systems it automatically presses the Ctrl key. It is not possessed through keyboard (physical as well as virtual keyboard).. It happens in itself.

    Windows is updated with latest updates.

    Same goes for the keyboard drivers.

    OK, I've got to ask....

    Are you saying that you can see the CTRL key being pressed by a spirit or poltergeist, or that a function that is usually controlled by pressing the CTRL key is happening without pressing the CTRL key?

    If it's the first thing then call your local news organization.

    If it's the second thing, please describe exactly what is happening that leads you to this observation. What you've given us so far is not much to go on.

    I assume you have checked the physical keyboard for a stuck key?

I just bought a brand new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit 5 days ago. When typing, the computer suddenly acts as if the ctrl key is pressed when it isn't. Any letter typed will perform the action it would if the ctrl key is pressed. This can only be remedied by a complete reboot. I have googled...
