Windows 7 keyboard making tick skunds and acting as if shift is pressed

[himan8595]

My laptop is samsung made 32bit windows 7 and i am having 2 problem with my keyboard :

1) it stops working and whenever i press any key, it makes a tick sound.

2) whenevr it starts working, it acts like the shift key is pressed (for example in excel if i click 5th row 4rth column cell, it will select everything between first cell till that, you guys know how shift work when kept pressed.)

Now, filter, sticky etc keys are off, it is not a hardware problem cause it starts working perfectly in gaps of time, but i need a fix asap.

This is a software problem, not a hardware problem. I've done this before, though I don't know how, and the easiest way to fix it is by going to the Control Panel, then to the "Ease of Access" or "Accessibility" centre and clicking on "Change How Your Keyboard Works". Once you've made sure that the box next to "Sticky Keys" isn't checked (so Sticky Keys isn't turned on), you then scroll right down to the bottom and click on "Keyboard Settings". In the window that opens, go to the "Buttons" tab at the top and then click "Restore Defaults". Click "Apply", then "OK" and do the same ("Apply", then "OK") in the original window, too. This should fix the problem. It'll override whatever it was that you did to make your keyboard think the shift key was pressed down.

Does your model have a fingerprint scanner?

So i've had this problem on and off for several months - my laptop acts as if my ctrl &/or shift key
is depressed. Caps locked, multiple windows opening, highlighted/selected texts, links opening in new windows instead of same or even new tab - what a mess. I've been googling this problem for months! Well, today I solved it and hopefully everyone else out there with this stupid problem can google this forum and read my solution and get on their lives...

Finally, today as I was trying everything for the 1,000 time to fix it, I found a yellow ! in my device manager reflecting a device conflict (it was kind of buried and I had to expand everything to find it). It was for the "biometric coprocessor." What this heck? Turns out a biometric coprocessor is the thumbprint reader on my laptop. I have never used it, not once but apparently it is conflicting with my mouse or keyboard or something and has been for quite some time - hence all the weird keyboard problems. As soon as i disabled it - BINGO, my keyboard problems disappeared. I ended up uninstalling it completely and that was that. Problem SOLVED! Done and DONE!
hope this helps...
