On a serious note, could you have dust or something under the key?

First of all, do you have a Laptop or a Desktop computer, 2nd, are you using Windows Vista or XP. I have never heard of a problem like this B4. Any more specifics?

Hi, it could be the key board settings, it might have set its self on USA, as this can have strange doings to it. Might be worth checking.....

Im already on that site Steve asking for Claire and i private messaged her their link earlier. Just thought id let you know.

Also Claire while im waiting for a reply for you, you may want to try this and see if this helps at all.

If you're using XP, you can disable it through Windows. Go to Control Panel
> Power Options > Advanced tab. There should be a drop-down for what to do
"When I press the sleep button on my computer". Change that to "Do nothing"
and that should disable the standby hotkey.
