Is the key completely dead? Being that you can't do anything outside the game? Try replugging in your keyboard, If it is only the game.. Set the keys to default.

LOL

Oneof the advantages of being left handed, and using the back arrow key to move backwards. :)

But yeah sounds really weird, so either you got some weird virus and/or corrupted file, or you been gaming WAY too long.

yeah, it's probably xfire. I went to the site right when i got the message to read just in case i have the problem in the future. It said that if you open up a chat window and type "/forceupdate" without the quotes, and then restart xfire, it'll work. Alternately you can reinstall xfire or something. I'm not positive if the instructions i gave are exact though, but i'm pretty sure that's what i read

This is a purely unscientific, annecdotal observation, but in my experience, only the rarest of bugs affects every system, no matter the configuration or specifications. Most bugs exploit a particular combination of vulnerabilities.

There's a measure of luck involved as to whether or not you're going feel a given bug.
