Problems with keyboard, Crtl alt del failed. I need it work to get the login screen of xp pro. view details?

1 day while I'm doing online research on my notebook. my keyboard suddenly went wrong & the "s" & other characters is keep being typed on the url bar automatically. I decide to restart & what happen next is I can't even press "enter" or "crtl alt del" anymore . I'm using windows xp pro & I need to press "crtl alt del" to get to the login screen. But now I can't even do it ! all other keys work fine. Thanks if you could help ! =)

Update:

awww these 2 important buttons...

Update 2:

sorry I can't test out any of the 1st 4 suggestion now because they either need me to buy a new keyboard or involve the use of the "enter" button which I can't do.

Update 3:

hmmm now if I could enable the "Interactive log on : do not require ctrl+alt+del" option ( usually found in gpedit ) then I could have log in to do something really emmergency for the next 3-4 days before sending the notebook for repair or something. T.T anyone knows how to do this early so before we even reach the xp logon screen ? Thanks

Update 4:

okay bought a new keyboard. It' don't work too.

    Try tapping the keys hard in case they're stuck. If that doesn't fix it you'd need to contact the manufacturer to repair it. You might be able to find a local tech that can replace the keyboard, but it may be very hard to find someone to do that and it will probably be expensive.
