Hi Alan, I really have no idea what's going on but I'll ask a few perhaps silly questions. First, have you tried rebooting? Second, have you tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the keyboard, or if it's a usb one and you have multiple ports, have you tried connecting it to another port. Third, have you tried cleaning the keyboard? Sometimes, keys die or they just need to be cleaned. However, since the key works for some things, I doubt it's that. Perhaps, you should run an antivirus and/or antispyware program just to make sure nothing's playing with your machine.
