mrt3,
glad you replied
the "turn on sticky keys" box is NOT checked. does this mean that this feature is turned off? FIRST TIME: because i'm sure that the box was unchecked before and it caused my game to crash and a sticky message came up on the screen. SECOND TIME: i might have unchecked the box the second after the "first time" happened, yet my game still crashed a second time while pressing the SHIFT key repeatedly, yet this time, there was no sticky key message, but the program still crashed??.....
as much of a problem that the sticky key thing has been to me for YEARS, it has done nothing more than crash programs, and has not helped me in the slightest. i don't even know what the sticky keys do, other than being a handicap person's device.
on xp, when i press shift five times, nothing happens and there is no message on the screen. however,
when i am in the middle of a game and am using the shift key as the main key, it will crash the program and a message will pop up. yet, if i press the shift key 5 times when no program is running, this sticky key message will not pop up.
w7: okay, i just pressed shift five times, and nothing happened. there is no message on the screen.
so problem solved right?
except that my program keeps crashing when i repeatedly keep pressing the shift key (the first time when the program crashed, a sticky key message appeared, and then after i unchecked the "turn on sticky keys" box, the program still crashed pressing the shift key repeatedly, but no sticky key message appeared this time).....
okay, i had everything else unchecked, but i didn't know about the "A related feature is called Filter Keys, which is triggered when you hold the right-Shift key down for eight seconds" feature
okay, okay, i didn't see the set up Filter Keys setting -- in fact, even if i did see it,
i didn't know that there were 10,000 boxes that you have to keep unchecking or this annoyance persists!
your totally cool bro
thanks a lot man.
i want to thank you for what you have done!!!!!
i unchecked the box, and i'm ASSUMING that it is fixed, though i have to admit the tutorial was pretty though. what i meant was -- i haven't "tested" it out yet.
thanks for the link. great link! a real mind blower for me. i did not know this last setting......
