Keys not working?

[jnmp]

Hi.

So today, randomly, my keys: t, h, c, and v sopped working. However, copy and paste keyboard shortcuts still work and it also works if I use them with the shift key to type capitals like THCV. (I had to copy and paste the letters to type this response--very annoying.) All other keys seem to work fine. What do you think could be wrong?

EDIT: I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Windows Vista, btw.

I'm not really sure. How can I figure that out?

Hi

Its a DELL keyboard in a DELL lappy...

Did you spill any liquids on the keyboard lately ??

All the best Brett

try cleaning your keyboard with cotton swabs with alcohol. you might have to take out the keys very carefully.

Sorry for the delayed response. I didn't spill anything, and after restarting the keys were still messing up. However, after restarting because of a Windows Update, the keys started working fine again... I don't know what gives, but thank you all for your answers anyway.
