My game acts like I am pressing a button down, but I am not.

My game acts as if I am always holding up on the arrow key. It only happens in this game and the key is not stuck, any suggestions?

In the dxdiag I can read that your system doesn't fully meet the requirements to run Need for Speed. This means that you might experience odd behavior in-game such as the game crashing or certain buttons not working as intended. 

Sadly this also means that I won't be able to troubleshoot your system further.

Does this mean that you can't accelerate or that your keeping breaking? Feel free to clarify further.

I've seen similar reports though and the solutions to these problems have been added to the following topic:

Feel free to reach out to me again if you have any further questions.

No it isn't effecting that. When I go to the map the cursor just shoots to the top and everything else does too. Just imagine playing the game while always holding down on the up arrow key. It is impossible to click anything. This is my issue.

Remove all USB devices other than mouse, keyboard and maybe your wheel controller and let us know if there is any change. Do you run any GPU overlay or injector software?

A clean boot before starting the game can't hurt either: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Ya I only have those plugged in and  I have even tried it with nothing plugged in. Still does it. I have rebooted and also reinstalled and repaired the game multiple times, but to no luck.

@Slideshow25

Did you try a clean boot as above?

If you have another keyboard you can test with too, that will be helpful.

[Slideshow25]

Yep I have tried the clean boot. Still nothing. I don't have another keyboard but I doubt that is the problem, works fine with all other games and this problem still happens even when the keyboard isn't plugged in.

Could you please post a dxdiag? It would allow me to have a closer look at which peripherals are connected to your system.

[Slideshow25]

Here it is.
