I launched photoshop today and found my option key not working. I don't use it often, but it's integral for defining clone area and spot correction. I'm totally screwed without it.

I reinstalled my wacom. I ran all software updates. I plugged in an external keyboard and the option key was not working on it either. What could be wrong? Everything else is operating fine.

Thank you so much.
