Please try the following.

Make sure that you don't have a stuck Shift key.
3)
Reboot the computer, and unplug/replug the keyboard.
4)
Hold the right shift key down for eight seconds and the filter keys window will appear.

Test this keyboard on another computer.
Get another keyboard and test on your computer.
If its the keyboard that's the problem from the testing then as suggested by two previous experts it's probably a sticky SHIFT key. Tap firmly repeatedly on both SHIFT keys and see if this frees them up. Also do this to the CTRL keys.
