Wanted to let everyone know that the issue is fixed. Somehow in Skype, a hotkey had gotten assigned and enabled. Once I disabled that hotkey, issue disappeared !!! Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Thankful I didn't have to do a reinstall of Windows

Hmmmm let me think about that .... Not yet... a little bit drastic but it's not too far from the top of my mind... I want to exhaust all other solutions first

Answer #1 - No I haven't installed any new hardware Answer #2 - Just did a search for all processes and googled them all and all came up correct and valid. The next thing I am going to do is boot into safe mode and see if the prob occurs in safe mode. If that works then I guess msconfig is the next step and step by step adding processes until the problem occurs... ALLRIGHTY long night ahead for me B

Just wanted to add a twist to the problem. I just did a reverse RDP from the desktop to the laptop and when I am in the RDP session, shift m works fine within the RDP session but as soon as I minimize it, no longer works.

Ok... I am stumped.... I have Win XP with all the latest patches and ensured that I don't have any spyware (I run a combination of S&D, AdAware, MS Anti-Spyware) and no virii (Up-to-date version of Norton 2006) and since last night I have the weirdest issue I have come across in 15+ yrs of computing... I cannot get the keystroke combination of Shift and M to work. Note I can hit Caps Lock and then hit m and I get M just fine. I cannot think of any program that would be monopolizing that keystroke. Any Ideas? P.S. Thinking hardware, have tried replacing keyboards... No go. When I use RDP, the problem exists on the remote client that I am connecting from so it's definitely a software issue Thanks, Brian
