what's happening with my keyboard

Tricky one 
I had similar problem, but it was solved with replacing the keyboard itself Apparently the issue is introduced when switching between OSes, but vmware is also involved. It may be that older version of vmware tools is messing up keyboard drivers when swapping the OSes. I suggest that you ask in the vmware forums for such issue, it could be vmware specific, I've seen a lot of these. Does that happen also when you work only in one environment ?
