Hi,

When using microsoft WORD yesterday the right ALT key on my keyboard stopped working ?

Since investigating the fault I have found the following:

. ALT key not working on any applications
. Every key other than ALT key working according to keyboard checker
. No viruses according to AVG or MalwareBytes Antispyware
. Equivalent of ALT key still working on Windows XP On Screen keyboard
. Latest driver installed per Microsoft Support

I do not have a spare keyboard or access to a 2nd PC so cannot carry out testing with other hardware.

I am wondering whether I need a new keyboard and was hoping someone could advise me if this looks to be the case or of what further testing can be done to verify this.

Thanks for any advise.
