Whoah. Try popping off the space bar key and see if it is cleaned out. Is it an old keyboard?

 

[worldsocoldx3]

Yeah,Ive,tried,everything........No...Its,not,an,old,keyboard.

Well. You're in luck: keyboards are very cheap. You can pick up a reliable, functional keyboard from a retail store for very cheap. Hopefully you're not on a laptop.

Also, did you try a good ole restart?

he said he had the same problem on another keybored, soooo its not the keybored,

 

[Cpetrie]

Oh yeah

Is it a USB or PS/2 keyboard?

if it is one try the other (say if it is a USB try a PS/2 or the other way around).

Lol, I'm sorry it's not funny. I've been there before. Execpt I split Mountain Dew on my laptop. ooo I know. I know. Anyways, If you tried a nother keyboard. Try different usb port or if it is a PS/2 you can pick up an adapter to change PS/2 to USB. That's very strange. If it isn't the keyboard and all the other keys work except just some. Hmm, that's all I got.
