hi ya,
everybody great to see you!

have a mite bit of a doosey here. a bit of trouble. ALWAYS running into constant problems every since time began with the windows OS, because it uses this feature and has a short cut command for a common key used frequently in the majority of programs. it just doesn't make sense.

does anybody happen to know HOW to turn off sticky keys in w7?

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:heink:
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:D
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......
