Howdy to anyone :

Does anyone know any thing about the StickyKeys feature in
Win XP? I have been playing several games like Farcry ,
Halo, Delta force BHD , and others. What happens ,is
that I am try to use my key board to move around in the
games, and it gets stuck in the direction that I was going
and can only be unstuck by pressing the key again once or
twice. This behavior is very similar to what Most game
manufactures warn of in their read me files. According
to My settings this feature is supposedly turned off on my
computer, but it seems to keep going anyway. Is there
any good way of completely disableing this StickyKey
feature? Help.

I have a home made system:
P4 2.53ghz 533fsb 478pin
512mb ram
30gig hd
MSI 845pe Max MOBO updated
Gforce fx5900se PNY
on board sound
everything else was cannibalized from older computers

playing badly, Malcolm M
 
Hi Malcolm,

How to turn off StickyKeys:
1.. Rapidly press the shift key 5 times.
2.. Click on the 'Settings' button. This brings up the Accessibility Options Menu.
3.. You will see the StickyKeys section at the top of the "Keyboard" tab. Click on the 'Settings' button.
4.. Uncheck the box next to "Use shortcut."
5.. Click the 'OK' button.
6.. Click the 'Apply' button and then the 'OK' button on the same menu.
Does the above way work better than the way you tried before, or the same?
