I have a problem with my mouse and keyboard.I am using a Samsung SDL1500 PS2 Keyboard

When I doubleclick any icon on my desktop,the properties window opens up.Similarly when i open any window the menubar is highlighted.The numberkeys,alphabet keys, arrow keys etc are not working.

I thought that the computer was behaving as if the alt key is always pressed on.

But when i removed my keyboard, still the properties window opens up on doubleclicking any icon.

I have tried removing and connecting my keyboard.I have also reinstalled Windows xp.But the problem is not solved.

Please help

Thanks mrintech and rhitwick for replying

I tried your suggestion to edit the registry

However it did not work out

I tried one more thing.I removed my keyboard and mouse and tried a USB mouse .It was working properly.

Then i saw one of of the posts in this forum
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31140

I dismantled the keyboard and then put back together everything .
Then it started working.


I hope the problem is solved.

Thanks all
