Keyboard madness

[gballard]

Does anyone know what could possibly be causing my forward slash key to "go away". Its the strangest thing I have ever seen. I noticed it last night while on IRC. I went to type a command and the damn thing wouldn't type. And it just wasn't in mIRC...it was in any program. I rebooted and it was back for a bit but then I started up mIRC and it went away again. I ran a virus scan and checked for trojans but it came up clean....

test it with another keyboard, if it doesn't then you know the problem, if it does then you know is a system problem

i have tested it with another keyboard...perhaps i just need to reformat and reload...i dont mind doing that if it fixes the problemo...

have you mapped the key to something else? Possibly a stupid annoying little trojan...
