Hi Shygirl,
-Does this issue happen on any particular application or all the applications?
Firstly, I would suggest you to boot the computer in safe mode and check if the keyboard works fine.
To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping F8 key during restart. Once you see the option to boot in safe mode select it and press enter.
Access the link to know more about how to boot the computer in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
If it works fine in Safe mode, you may put the computer in clean boot state and check for the keyboard issue. This will help us to check if any third party applications are causing the conflict.
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista and Windows 7, Access the link below and follow the steps:
If your issue is resolved after performing clean boot, then follow the steps in the above mentioned KB article to narrow down the exact source:
