every now and then PWI steals the letter C, n or CTRL or left arrow, they stop working in the game and in windows and other applications too. rebooting doesnt work. i have since installed on a new computer with a new keyboard and the problem persists.

what is going on??? is it because of the "K" menu when i accidentally hit k on the keyboard ingame?

(right now the letter "n" isnt working and i have it in clipboard, hitting ctrl+v to insert it in every word)

    Well, stop running it as admin and it'll probably stop getting permission to change your keybindings. But it shouldn't be able to do that out-of-game anyway. o0

    See if you have it linked to a program like Autohotkey that's messing with things?

    sure your keys aren't sticky adn stuck? lol actually beign serioius.... u tend to spill drinks on the keyboard? On a side note... i hit some random freakign combo of buttons the other day just typing and all of a sudden my entire keyboard was remapped..... chinese letters and ****. I'm like wtf? this was in game too. TABBED out and Notepad.... AOL, the addy bar in IE.... was all normal english and normal key mapping. it was JUST in game. Had to freaking reboot... no clue what i did.

    its a vanilla install of win7 pro and a new install of the game, no additions or hacks. not running as admin might make sense to stop it from ruining the rest of my pc.

    however i think i fixed it, i uninstalled avira AV and everything returned to normal, maybe it was blocking key sends to the game, and trapped the keys and kept them trapped
