Angry Keyboard shortcut problems

Well for some reason every time I press the space bar down it opens up the file menu (see picture below) I think this is because there is an "accelerator key" set or something. Its really annoiying and it happens in all my applications not just internet explorer. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it Very Much.

Is this a laptop jjoechump? If so, try updating your touchpad drivers.

Since pressing one of the Alt keys will also open those menus, check the keyboard for something caught between the space bar and one of the Alt keys or under both keys so that pressing one causes the other to make contact, too.

I just turn mine upside down and shake it every once in a while. Amazing how much dog and cat hair can collect at my house!
