"when i press something the keyboard works as if i am pressing Ctrl + the key that i press. For example when i press S it thinks that i am pressing Ctrl + S therefore the save menu comes up ? 
Does anybody know what the problem could be?" (Quote from another post) 

I am having the same problem.  This happened for the first time today after the computer was asleep for about two hours.  Alternately , sometimes after the computer is asleep the fingerprint reader stops working.  If I restart the computer the issues go away but I don't think it is feasible to restart the computer after everytime is has bene asleep for a while. Please help! I have an »HP Pavilion dv7-6c67nr Entertainment Notebook PC purchased only about a week ago.

Try this. press and hold both (leftand right) Ctrl keys at the same time and this will release the ctrl key from acting as a sticky key.

Thank you so much for your input! Can you tell me how sticky keys get turned on? Do you know why this would happen when the computer wakes up?
