So, every once in a while my computer starts acting like I'm holding down a key when I'm not. It's a different key each time the problem happens.
For example, today I was watching some videos in GB-PVR, when I pressed Alt-Enter to toggle fullscreen so I could do some web browsing. When I opened the web browser and clicked on the search field, the field was immediately populated with a constantly increasing number of the character '6'.
I exited GB-PVR at this point, and killed IMON (my IR receiver program), but this didn't solve the issue. When I clicked on the start menu to restart IMON, the search field was, again, immediately populated with the character '6'.
When this has happened in the past, I usually restarted the computer via task manager. This time, however, I actually managed to gain some useful information. I utilized my pinned Explorer icon to open an Explorer window and navigate to Control Panel. From there, I launched Device Manager, and tried to uninstall the PS/2 keyboard driver. This failed because I wouldn't let the computer restart. At that point, I uninstalled HID Keyboard Device, and Windows stopped receiving the key presses. When I scanned for hardware changes to reinstall HID Keyboard Device, the keyboard began behaving normally, at which point I began to search Google for similar issues.
Finding no similar issues, I decided to make a post about it.
Does anyone know any fixes for this? This is the third time it's happened (the first time on this particular install), and it's starting to get really annoying.
