Thirteen-Ten

I have the standard HP keyboard that came with my computer. Its a wireless one so might that have something to do with it? Is there a workaround for the problem or will a new keyboard need to be purchased to solve it?

For some reason i cannot shoot my guns while i am maneuvering my ship. When i try and hit ctrl while moving my ship with the arrow keys, it doesnt shoot the guns. It will shoot a single burst of bullets after i let go of the arrow key i am holding. i also have the same problem with the afterburners. How can i fix this?
