Technical support needed.
« on: May 02, 2011, 09:39:44 pm »

Okay, so, this morning I borrowed my computer to someone, and when I got it back, something weird happened. They do not know what might have caused it, other than the fact that the tower was moved to the borrowers location and then returned later that day. This is not a laptop.

You see, whenever I enter a game, (WoW, TF2, Left 4 Dead 2, Minecraft) Whenever I gain control of a character, as soon as I hit a key, the character immediately starts to walk endlessly in one of the WASD directions and after this point, whenever I hit another key, it cycles through the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0.

So if I press w it hits 1, and if I press j afterwords it hits 2 and so on. This is somewhat alarming and I would like any advice you have to give. I do not know what causes it, and I have already restarted my computer a couple times. That didn't work.

Okay so as it turns out she installed some sort of 'ultimate security protection' or something with norton because she thought it wasn't 'protected enough'.

Problem fixed. Go home now.
