CTRL Key not working, how do i get it back?

[Borgmeister]

I was using Xp the other night, and for some reason the ctrl key no longer responds, so i cant ctrl-l-click to select multiple files, i cant ctrl-alt-del. I feel crippled without the use of this key.

Please help

these r 2 cheap sites u could try, or go to any computer store and ask for compressed air.

try getting an exacto knife, or pocket knife, picking it out, and cleaning it and the interface on the keyboard.

does that happen with both ctrl keys?

i think you need a new keyboard, or even a used one with a ctrl key!
