    Keyboard is "stuck" to shortcut keys

    I have HP DV6t Laptop with windows 7 home premium.

    for a reason I don't know my keyboard suddenly became stuck to shortcut keys. For example if I press "p" it would open the printing screen rather than typing p. Also my mouse acts like control key is pressed - for example if I go through my email clicking on them to read them, it would select all of the emails that I click on.


    The only way I found to somewhat reverse this is hitting "control + alt + delete" and select cancel , then I can type and my mouse would work as it's supposed to. But in this case my control key stops working for example if I hit "control + f" to open the find window in the browser nothing would happen.

    then this little trick stopped working as well. So currently I cannot type at all. any help would be greately appreciated as I like my keyboard with it's normal functions back.
