You mean CTRL+SHIFT ?

Still working for me.
Did you install any programs ? Maybe CTRL+SHIFT is some sort of shortcut in / for that program and blocks the usage in GW.
Besides that.... don't know....

Okay,press f11,then go to Control,Interact will be the top one,see if that's still set to Space,if it isnt thats your problem.

If that dosent work..your ctrl key died?

Have you checked to make sure it is just Guild Wars that the control key is being unresponsive? Also consider posting your issue in the Technician's Corner, or requesting a moderator to move this thread there if you still can't solve the issue.

are you using msn plus(?) while playing guild wars?

if you are theres a lock messenger or something like that option which is bound to the same targeting as guild wars has. you can go in and change it msn tho

I've been having the same problem, and yes, it was Messenger Plus. Thanks for your help, Qwazy.

Actually this happened to me the other day when I hopped on for the first time in a while (after a fresh install... which I erased after half an hour!). The function works perfectly fine on my laptop, so i'm not sure if it's a bug with my desktop, or a bug with the game... *scratches head*

edit:
hah. MSN plus.

bastards.

Couldn`t wait to come home from work...I have forgot that I needed to reinstall msn so it seems I have installed MSN+, and yes...that was the problem...Ty Qwazy very much
