Control Key Doesnt Work


It probably not a software issue, but rather a hardware problem (i.e. button malfunction). Try taking the button cap off and on.
 
I have the same thing occasionally, but if I hit all modifier buttons on the keyboard (shift, alt, ctrl, etc) on the keyboard a few times, Windows usually figures out how they work again. If you tried a reboot and it still happens, then there's probably something wrong with your hardware.

But look on the bright side, you still have another ctrl button left ;)

the wierd thing is both of the cntrls are not working
Does the alt key work?
It could be a virus or something, I can imagine removing somebodies ability to ctrl-alt-del may be considered useful.
Try seeing if ctrl works in pure dos.

before you said both failed, i would have suggested hitting the ctrl key really hard.. my keys get stuck sometimes (this keyboard is ancient, full of gunk) and hitting them usually works. :D
