There are several poassibilities:
1. Stuck key on the keyboard.
2. Broken keyboard. Swap in another one and see if that fixes it.
3. The key has been accidentally reprogrammed (on a system which let you remap keys). Check for a special keyboard map setting, and change back to the standard one in Control Panel. This is the function that lets you remap for a foreign language or Dvorak keyboard.
4. You accidentally set the ctrl key as a hot key for something.
5. Some program you are running is intercepting the ctrl key for a special purpose.
6. A virus is operating, and is intercepting the ctrl key to keep you from bringing up the task manager.
