Emacs: C-a not working

I'm using Emacs 22.3.1 on windows. C-a is not working. (Left Control-A is working, Right Control-A is not working) I even set : (global-set-key (kbd "C-a") 'beginning-of-line). still not working.

Any idea?

I encountered this problem on Windows. If m-x describe key is normal, the problem may be that "other programs" occupy this shortcut key. For me, the reason is that Microsoft Pinyin input method switches between Chinese and English.

do a 

M-x describe-key

and press C-a to check what it is bound to.

(this will at least indicate that emacs understands C-a in some form)
