Ok, the thing is, my enter key on my keybpard won't work, it's not a problem with my keyboard, as if I press shift + enter, the desired effect works.

This is not good for when you want to send a message in MSN, as shift and enter makes a new line. I just want my enter key to work, anyone else had a similer problem??

Try powering down your PC then unplugging your kb.
Then, smash it on the floor, jump on it, and pick it back up.
Plug it back in and turn on your computer.
All should work fine now.
Thanks!

Help....

I've actually had a client have this happen before. Can you get your @ button to work? I'm pretty sure because your in the UK if you just had a new OS installed then it's in your system properties (somewhere around there) Your set to the english(UK) version to switch back google keyboard problems then hit enter LOL if that doesn't help try this tech support video Hope that helps ;)

I am stupid, but not quite that bad, its not to do with the language settings or such like, my @ key is fine, lol, I think I may have some adware of some sort, I am going to end up re-installing my OS at this rate, it is really starting to annoy me.

If it's not a known broblem, then you are the first reporting it related to an adware or spyware that I have heard of.

This is going to sound kind of stupid, but have you tried tapping the <CTRL>, <ALT> and/or <SHIFT> keys very firmly? Almost like you're punching them, but not really. Often, they get slightly stuck or crud gets under them or something.

Try it with your enter key as well.

I don't mean smash the living hell out of it, but tap it firmly with your index finger. Hell, if it doesn't work, it's broken already.

Also, if you want to check it, assuming you're running a Windows OS, hit F8 just after the POST beep and select "Command Prompt" from your list of boot options. Then, try performing regular commands. If you can do that, it's OS-related. If not, it's keyboard-related.
