Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
While you are in safe mode, does the keyboard still have a problem?

This issue can be caused by the Anti-Keylogger in ZoneAlarm, so you can disable this feature until ZoneAlarm has released an update.

Thank you for your help. Actually it was not a Zone Alarm problem. A friend had set up my monitor as a second screen and it seemed to be that that was causing the keyboard to malfunction. Once I disabled the second screen (I still use the monitor as a reflection of the laptop) the problem went away. Again many thanks.
