Once in awhile the CNTL key seems to be not working when in PS CS
(WinXP). For example, CNTL-0 and CNTL-ALT-0 won't zoom, and CNTL-1/2/3
won't display individual channels, etc. What did I do to get into this
situation, and how do I get out of it? Thanks.

Are you using an illegal bootleg copy of Photoshop with a pirate activation
crack? This is a known problem with the activation crack.

You have an unlicensed copy of PS. That's how.
You get out of it by buying a real copy.

Have you tried another keyboard or clean yours.  Could be a sticky
key.  Had mine happen on Caps Lock Key.  Seems the key you use most is
usually the one you have problems on.

You got ripped of, real key boards don't have CNTL keys, they have two 2
Ctrl keys.

The keyboard was the problem. Thanks.

When this happens, the CTRL key and the "zero" key won't even work in
Notepad. Can PS disable these keys in other applications as well?

By replacing the keyboard without rebooting the machine, all the keys
are working again.

yea, everything that goes wrong with PS is because it is an unlicensed copy?
It's a keyboard problem.

Could be.

There is a known keyboard bug with Logitech keyboards - it's why you are
seeing those keyboards at clearance prices.

Also, Adobe found a way to disable shortcuts on unlicensed versions.

So when someone posts here about their shortcuts not working, either:

(a) they have a logitech keyboard
or
(b) they are clueless software thieves

I suggested a solution given (b).
Maybe you could suggest a solution given (a).

Or do you want frozen to go out and buy a fancy Logitech keyboard, just
like his last one?
