Sounds like your shift key is stuck down or something. Try banging it a few times to see if it'll release. Remember, there are two: one on the left (below caps lock), one on the right (below return).

try unistalling the driver in device manager - click my computer/properties/hardware/device manager/ then expand keyboards. Double click on keyboard entry, select driver click uninstall then reboot keyboard will reinstall hopefully this will fix it

Sounds like he might have turned on 'sticky keys' by hitting shift 5 times.
Check Control Panel > Accessibility Options in XP or this for vista.
