Keyboard issue with games: moving forward by itself!

manu -

Hello,
when I play Far Cry and move by pressing the "W" key to advance, sometimes the character continues to move forward even when I stop pressing "W", as if the key is stuck. I tried installing a patch for Far Cry, but it didn’t change anything. My keyboard is a wireless Labtec, and I attempted to install the drivers from the website, but to no avail.

I wonder if it could be an issue with the keyboard (which is new, same for the batteries), but in my opinion, it’s of poor quality (I got it for free).

Thanks for your help ++

      It's not a keyboard issue because I had the game compressed on my hard drive. I reinstalled it and there's no more problem until the 3rd or 4th mission, so it could be a virus or a malfunctioning graphics card, but not the keyboard since it's new and has no batteries.

        Hello, I have experienced the same problem as you until today. It is now resolved (at least for me ^^). Topdesk (according to other forums) is the culprit; you just need to disable it. Be careful with this method; I had other problems, but they didn't last long. I uninstalled Bricopack Vista Inspirat, and now everything works perfectly (I’m glad it finally works after 3 months of having bought my graphics card).

        Let me know if it worked...@+

    Hello everyone,

    I have the same problem on my PC, in my games when I move forward by pressing a key (like "z"), the character keeps moving forward on its own. I removed AVAST (info taken from another forum), as well as the Vista Inspirat BricoPack, but it still happens!
    Can someone help me, it's really annoying!!

    Is there a way to configure this somewhere on the computer?

    Thank you for your help
