you have a wonderful button on your keyboard that says 'Delete'.  I suggest that you use it.

You can try F5 on the keyboard, that would be easier.

Doing "this"? Typing at your computer keyboard? It might be overuse - do you have a clerical job?

I tend to use the following combination:\n\nAlt Space\nAlt n\n\nYou could replace the Alt n bit by pressing the up arrow twice and hitting enter.

Depends on the keyboard :-)\n\nBut in general, the Function key -- the top row, are aux keys.

the easiest way to be sure it is just your keyboard is to borrow a good working keyboard from a friend or family member.  If that keyboard works, then you will know that you need to replace your keyboard.  Also, if you go to the "start" button and click "control panel" there will be an icon for "keyboard."  Open that one and be sure that no one has disabled the keyboard options.

How long has this been going on?  Did you change anything or install any software prior to the problem surfacing?  Have you been surfing any warez sites?\n\nSomething is interfering with your keyboard.  You've done all the right things to date so I'd suggest that you look for something in the system itself.  Some process is messing things up.  When you hold down the shift key, the process eventually dies, releasing the keyboard for normal use.\n\nMy first inclination would be a keystroke logger or other spyware.  Install Spybot Search & Destroy and Windows Defender.  Update the defs and run a full scan with both products.  With luck, you'll find something and can remove it.

You have a bad keyboard. Get a new one, you can't fix it.

ABSOLUTELY!!!  It is funny you ask that question, because I don't know what the keys are anymore.  If people ask me where a "key" is located anymore, you can watch me actually move my hands ( in the correct manner ) and then tell you where the key is ... my brain has not memorized the keyboard, but my fingers sure have ... :)

There is probably a function key labeled "Fn".  And you will see keypad numbers in blue labeled on some of the existing keys.  You can use the same keystroke for ê.\n\nYou can also use the character map, located under Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map.\n\nEnjoy!
