Stuck key?

[davidph]

I have an older xp computer that hasn't given me a lot of problems until recently. It appears that the "5" key is stuck. Any where I click is immediately filled with number 5's. I have connected two other keyboards and it still happens. I can't even log-in because the password box is filled up with "5"s. Is something else fried?

Thanks

What kind of keyboard, PS2 or USB?

what kind?

It is a usb. However, it still does it even if the key board is unhooked.

If this is a desktop, the keyboard processor on the motherboard may be damaged. You might try and reinstall Windows and see if the problem disappears

How old is this computer?
