"Go back" keyboard shortcut is messed up

For whatever reason, Windows decided to make my right shift key a
short cut for "go back" in my web browsers. It triggers in both IE
and Firefox. I can't find any place where I can set these shortcuts.
When I started having this problem, I tried installing the newest
Logitech keyboard drivers, but the software it installed doesn't do
anything useful.

Is there any way to fix this behavior?
 
Try a different keyboard - I'd bet on a physical keyboard failure, not a
software or Windows problem.
 
coryb891,

Long shot, but you may have enabled the 'Ease of Access' Sticky Keys by
accident (by pressing the Shift key 5 consecutive times).

In the 'Accessories > Ease of Access' folder from the Start Menu, click
'Ease of Access Center'.
Uncheck 'Sticky Keys' if checked.

Richard had it right, something must have happened to the keyboard. A
different keyboard doesn't cause the same problem. Thanks both of you
for responding.
