keyboard error help!

Hi everyone,

My keyboard got covered in beer and now everytime I press "u" utility manager pops up. I have another keyboard plugged in but it still does the same. My O/S is win 2k. Will I have to wait for the PC to sober up or is there an easier way to stop this behaviour!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.

By the way im using a seperate pc to type this!!

I would recommend getting a new keyboard and reboot.

something like that almost is very diffcult to clean out and keyboards are very cheap

Thanks for the reply dude but: Quote: "I have another keyboard plugged in but it still does the same".

It keeps bringing up UTILITY MANAGER. I have gone into utility manager through Accessability Options but can't seem to change it back. Im stumped. I have rebooted several times so I cant do a last know good config either.
I have also looked in keyboard settings but no luck.

FIXED IT!!!

Just reinstalled keyboard driver in device manager. Must have reset whatever I enabled. Either that or the old driver couldn't handle its beer!!!!

Cheers anyway
