    Hi there,

    Try pressing and holding the Ctrl + Alt keys along with either the up or down arrow on your keyboard, that should do the trick!

    Looks like when you were hitting a lot of keys you manage to hit a Hotkey combination.

    You can try this if you are willing:-

    3. Click the Graphic Properties tab, and then click HotKey.
    4. Hold down CTRL+ALT, and then restart the computer. Or, click to select the Disable HotKeys check box, and then restart the computer.
