i dont know what to do, im lost, ive looked everywhere for a way to fix it too and nothing, the only advice someone had was to uncheck click lock in the mouse options but that wasnt it, it was allready turned off.

basically for no reason, any time i click on an icon it selects every single icon on my desktop or in a folder. also for some reason i assume related, since it happened at the exact same time, my number keys type as sybols instead of numbers, like im holding shift down the whole time or something, which im not. please if anyone has ever heard of this an knows what to do about either or both problems it would be much appreaciated. thanks in advance.

Hello
for some time i too have experienced this troubling 'glitch'.
i always refer to it as my 'sticky' CTRL-key.
seems that when this happens, if i double stoke each of the 'shift', 'tab', and 'ctrl' keys that the 'glitch' goes away.
sorry this is such a 'rough' answer
