If you held the SHFT key down for a long while, you may have turned on Sticky
Keys.

Tap the SHFT key 5 times to release.

I still don't think that is it... somehow i think it has something to do with
the rolly scroller thing on the mouse...I was able to fix the problem by
clicking the roller, but i would like to figure out how i did it in the first
place... Any other suggestions?
