How to fix ghosting keys?

[caltraskoo]

So I had a Sager custom laptop since 8/12 and it has been working alright. My university offers a free upgrade to Windows 7 from whatever was before that. I downloaded and installed the new version. However, I am not sure if it is related with the problem or not, but my keyboard has been ghosting for at least a couple months.

For example, I will hold down w and then add a, and it will go
wwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaa
But ghosting occurs when I hold down w and then add d
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
The d is completely unregistered.

This poses a huge problem mainly in gaming and I would like to fix that. For example, when I play GTA4, by holding down w and d I am supposed to go diagonally to the right, but right now nothing is happening. Can anyone help me?

Try an external keyboard and see if you get the same issue.

When I used an external it was fine. What should I do?

did you go to the Sager web site and get all the available drivers for your hardware?...especially the chipset, touchpad and keyboard

Yes, from what I have seen the only thing relevant is called HotKeys, but it is for keyboard shortcuts, not the entire keyboard driver. I also "uninstalled" my keyboard using the Control Panel -> Keyboard -> Uninstall, but nothing happens.
