I think I had those problems a few times, I believe your computer has been placed iinto a mode where the shift key is pressed one hundred percent of the time. I'd advise restarting your computer. It's called 'stickykeys' I believe.

It didn't let me do that either, so I just shut it down and started it again.

mmm... If it is stickykeys press the shift key really quickly as many time as possible (just mash the button!), it should come up with a message about stickykeys, and press cancel.

If that doesn't help, I'm not sure. Sometimes stuff like that happens but it goes back to normal after awhile.

You only need to press Shift five times in a row to turn on Sticky Keys.  You can press it five more times in a row to turn it off, or you could press Shift and a letter to turn it off.
