Keyboard is 'sticky' after a while

Hi,

I have a wireless trust keyboard,
(http://www.trust.com/products/produc...spx?item=14295).

It used to work perfectly well on my Windows XP machine but now on the VISTA
machine I cannot use it for very long.

It looks like the control key is 'stuck' from time to time.
I know it sounds silly but I don't know how else to describe it.

So I need to reboot and everything is back to normal, for a while. Then the
ctrl key seems to get stuck again. You would think that it has something to
do with my keyboard, but the fact that everything is back to normal when I
reboot tells me that VISTA is getting confused after a while.

What could be causing the keyboard to misbehave like that? What can I do?

Press [shift] 5 times (or go into Ease of Access under the Accessories
menu). Turn off Sticky Keys.

You could plug in a wired keyboard as a test to see if thekeyboars itself is
the problem, or the bus. You need to use the same kind of wired keyboard as
the wireless -- as in, USB or PS2.
