Sounds like a keyboard short.  Are you using a notebook or a desktop?  In any case ask someone if you can temporarily borrow a keyboard.  You may need to replace yours.  Desktop keyboards can cost as little as $10.00.  Check your connections if your using a desktop and makes sure your not pressing any keys when it starts up.

It's probably easiest to replace the keyboard.  If you have a desktop computer, it's cheap - you can get keyboards at Walmart and as far as the computer's concerned, they're all the same, unless you get one of the web models with the extra features.  I've seen them as low as $9 for cheap models, and as high as $100 for the matching cordless mouse/keyboard combinations with web features.\n\nOn a laptop, it's not that bad either.  I've done it.  You just have to have some courage to unscrew the case.  Or send it into the manufacturer.  Those keyboards are closer to $30, give or take.

Unplug it from your CPU box, put it into a microwafe and set it for 10 seconds... just kidding! \n\nYou'd never do that. I would suggest you either turn off your computer of unplug from your CPU, use a compressor (you can get them from any office supply store/ best buy/ circuit city) and kind spray the keyboard (don't do excessively). This is the first step to reduce and elminate dust and such. \n\nTake a few cotton balls and apply a little bit of rubbinb alcohol or sanitizer, and then clean your keys (surface wise). This should do the work.  \n\nIf all these work isn't what you're interest, perhaps washing your hand/ dry them, BEFORE you use your computer EACH TIME (so you keep your keyboard clean), and wash (with soap) your hands AFTERWARD (to keep your handS clean).  \n\nIf all these works sounds like a piece cake, then I'd say do them all-together if you have the time and dedication. I hope my suggestion helps/ answers your question. Thank you.

The keyboard is made up of a couple of plastic sheets with contacts and runs.  Odds are that one of the runs have been cut.  It is remotely possible to fix the run but it would be much easier to go buy a new keyboard.  The runs are very delicate and can be tricky to fix.  I work in electronics and I could do it but I wouldn't bother.  You can get a basic keyboard for a good price.  If you have a friend who is into computers he/she may even have an extra keyboard they are willing to part with.  Recommendation: don't bother trying to fix it, just get a new one.

Paint? Decals? haha, I would suggest a new keyboard... but laptop keyboards (While not impossible) are rather difficult to replace.  And doing so on your own most certainly voids the warranty.  How bout permanant marker?  The silver ones, or gold ones.  There's an idea.\n-Duo

Tip from eHow:\n\nScience can't explain it, but soft drinks and coffee are undeniably attracted to computer keyboards. Put them in proximity and they're bound to interact messily sooner or later. \n \n Steps:\n1.  Unplug the keyboard.\n \n2.  If you spilled water, turn the keyboard over and let it drain and dry out for at least 24 hours.\n \n3.  If you spilled something sticky, try prying the small key caps off of the keyboard with a flathead screwdriver to get better access to the mess. Don't remove the spacebar, the Enter key or other large key caps. (Take a picture of the keyboard layout, or make a quick sketch of it, before you remove any keys so you can put them back where you found them.)\n \n4.  Gently clean the keyboard with a wet cotton swab.\n \n5.  Replace the key caps after rinsing them and letting them dry.\n \n6.  Let everything dry for at least 24 hours before plugging the keyboard back in.

Do this.  Unplug the keyboard and then turn on the computer and let it start up all the way.  Then plug in the keyboard.  Your system should recognize it as new hardware and prompt you to install the driver.  (you'll get a pop up wizard that will walk you through the steps).  really  easy. \n\nIf that does not work then try uninstalling the keyboard and then reinstall it.   Go to your control panel, add/remove hardware.  Find the keyboard and uninstall.  Shut down and restart and then plug it in and reinstall. \n\nIf all of that fail...unplug the keyboard and take it to best buy.  Tell them what's going on, tell them that you would like to buy a new one but you would like them to test your keyboard first.    They will plug it up to one of their computers and test to see if it's working.  Then you will know for sure if it's defective or not.

Get a new keyboard.  Not that dear & not covered in kitty poo / sick.  I can't imagine how you'd clean that.\nJust realised you meant water.  Leave it to dry somewhere warm, but no direct heat.  Leave it for a couple of days perhaps.  As long as it's just water & not waste should be ok.

You might look for a patch on the manufacturers website first. If this doesnt help, simply uninstall the keyboard software and driver and use the standard microsoft keyboard driver. You may loose some special functions such as battery level warning and specialized keys but your keyboard should still run fine. I use the ms standard driver in all my systems simply because I dont want all that crap eating ram. Keep spare batteries for your mouse and keyboard and if either stops working replace the batteries.

Sounds like you have a different keyboard. He messed up the driver for it. If you have windows XP do a system restore and it will fix your problem without losing anything. If not. do a search for drivers for that keyboard.

OOPS! Your keyboard inards are made of mylar (plastic film). If the pop has gotten into the film layers it needs to be disassembled. The mylar layers can be cleaned with a very mild soapy water. I wouldnt use alcohol as it may remove the circuit trace. Laptops are a PAIN to disassemble. Find someone who knows how to do this.
