    If you think the machine needs rebooted or restarted, dont be silly just reboot it.

    If it is a windows computer it needs to reboot periodically. No getting around it. Sometimes if you are an advanced user, you can extend a windows pc's uptime by manipulating services ... But eventually you will still need to reboot.

    Also, I would make sure the keyboard is plugged in properly (fully)

    Good luck

    Try restarting your computer. I'm a student tech assistant at my school and it happens all the time. If restarting dosen't help, don't know where to go from there.

    Buy a new keyboard. Or use the semicolon (:) key and see if it's a period (dot).
