My keyboard works fine (I'm using it right now). But when I play certain games, (Counterstrike) my keyboard does not respond unless I hold down Shift or Control or Alt. My mouse works fine.
I've already tried the following things to remedy this:
1. Plugging my keyboard USB plug into different ports
2. Reinstalling the game
3. Rebooting the computer
My keyboard has, in the past, worked fine in Counterstrike. So, basically one day it just started acting like this. Holding down the Shift, Control, or Alt key will allow me to basically do all the regular game functions unless it comes into conflict with system functions.
I already found one thread about this at another forum:

but I have yet to receive a reply.
I have Windows XP SP3
Please help!
