Unhappy key board issues

first thing this morning I ran a disk clean up which i had not run in a very long time.
After that the key board did not work at all so we shut down the computer and pushed the wireless button to reconnect the keyboard and that seemed to work except now the caps button doesnt work for all of the letters: I typed the alphabet:
ABCDEFGIJKLLLLLLOPRTUVYZ
hmnqswx keys that won't go to caps when I use the shift key on the left side.
something is wrong with my key board. and I did not press L 6 times.
now it is letting me type H. weird.
thanks for any advice

I haven't used a wireless keyboard or mouse.
but, maybe...
reboot again?
check batteries?
try a restore?

could there be any dirt,dust,crumbs in the keyboard?
turn it upside down and spank it to see if anything fallls out?

Or if you have a disk or the drivers for it reistall those...probably the cleaner removed something needed for kb.

rebooting it worked! thank you!
computers are mysterious and scarey pieces of equipment. I would be so lost with out all of the support I receive....I start to panic when I think there is something wrong with our computer.
