I just got a new HP laptop a few weeks ago. Every time I play a flash game that is controlled with the WASD keys, I'm stuck moving in a single direction and none of the movement keys respond. Has anyone else seen this problem or know what to do? Thanks

I've had this problem before when using IE8 and it was fixed when I switched to Firefox. If you are using IE8 you should try firefox. If that doesn't help then you can try adding the armor games website to IE's list of trusted sites by clicking Tools>Internet Options, then click the Security tab. You can also lower the Internet security level under the Security tab but I don't reccomend putting it on low.

Maybe one of the keys is stuck on some command or something :P

Try another browser as driejen said.

Update:

I've tried all suggested above with no change. I've tried this on IE8, Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Any other help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It could be your keyboard. Try to type with every letter and see if every letter works.
If it does, try another flash website to see if its just armor games that has the problem.

If not, see if one of the keys is stuck to the keyboard. If it is, turn off your comp and take out the key and see whats whats wrong with it.

I've had that problem many times, when using the WASD keys, my character in the game suddenly runs to the right and seems to be in a hurry not wanting to stop!

This is usually fixed right away by pressing the same direction key again! But it is annoying and sometimes leads to my death in the game...
