re: loss of shift key functionality Friday, December 1, 2006 at 11:19 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (6749 messages posted) If you can start to MS DOS on a floppy or flash drive (if your lappy has the ability to do one or the other or both), or some other offline OS (say BartPE), you can see if shift is working in those OSs. Or just start into the BIOS setup utility. IIRC Dell BIOSs use the shift keys for working in the BIOS so see if they work there. If keys work everywhere else but Vista, then Vista's the culprit. If they work nowhere, time for a new keyboard as Steve pointed out.
