heloo.. cheyenneratts2016 first u check the drivers wether it is dectected or not if it is dectected you can just uninstall it and reeboot ur system see if it works because key board has basic drivers it ill be installed automatically if it dosnt solve ur problem once ckeck wether u have activated the filer keys which can be seen in right side cornner of ur system or go to control pannel and find Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier to use and un check sticky keys and filter keys then ckick apply and check if it helps if not check ur hard ware...
