Sounds like you have stickykeys set perhaps. Trying hitting shift a number
of times (5 at least) and when the dialog pops-up, click Cancel.

I've held down the shift key for more than 6 seconds, a warning message
came
up and now my mouse is playing up and the keys seem to have reversed ie
hit
the 0 key but the ) comes up instead

How do I reverse this back to normal ?
