i used a registry key to disable the Caps Lock key, AND now i have a problem. The Shift key has reversed itself. Pressing the Shift gives me lower_case Letters, and letting go gives me ALL CAPITALS.

NOW Holding the Cap Lock key doesn't do anything. I'm not SURE WHICh REG. key I changed because it was a .reg file. :o. I picked it up from HOW-to-gEEK OR some similar site, nothing disreputable. I need TO reverse this BEFORE I THROW THE KEYBOArd out the window.

System Restore isn't preferable because I just set up that computer 2 days ago. Sys restore would remove about 40 program installs, all my settings and tweaks.
