Cant hold down shift/ctrl/alt on new laptop

So I dunno if this is a new laptop thing or an HP thing... but I just got a new Pavillion g7, and when holding down either the shift, ctrl, or alt keys, they do NOT repeat. I.e., if I hold down alt I don't keep jumping, I just jump once. Holding down shift does not keep me continuously attacking, etc. It's extremely annoying and makes it impossible to play maple efficiently.

[b]Before anyone suggests sticky keys[/b], I've been through all that and all those options are turned off. I know what I'm doing and this is really bizarre to me, and Google isn't helping... I've already had to go into the bios to disable the "always on" function key. Was hoping they other keys were somehow linked to that and they would work properly afterword... but nope. -.-

I've seen a few Basilers report this problem before, but I've never seen a fix.

You may have to rebind your keys and become used to a new layout.
