Question

Why is my keyboard acting weird?

Sep 30, 2015 7:43AM PDT

The keyboard in my Dell Vostro is acting weird. Every time I log into the administrative account most of the keys don't work. So I log out and go to the guest account and the keyboard starts working. (most of the times). Only then I can return to my account. Is it a keyboard problem or an OS problem? I use Windows 8
