261232 2004-08-13 11:28:00 My shift key has ceased to work,what can the matter be?

I pressed too many times and the sticky message came up,tried all combinations to fix,but to no avail.

Help would be much appreciated.

261234 2004-08-13 11:51:00 Thanks mike.

If I put the thingy in the middle of a word and click on shift,nothing happens.

Bare with me;)

261235 2004-08-13 12:00:00 Hey Tom - you sure you want Mike to 'bare' with you?

Anyway, you have activated "sticky keys", try pressing the shift key 5 times in succession to turn it off.

261236 2004-08-13 14:45:00 Or you could go into control panel and turn it off permanently. mikebartnz (21)
261237 2004-08-13 16:17:00 Go to Control Panel then accessability, and unclick all those stupid 'features' that microsoft wanted us to have...

That should you right.

My computer is doing this anoying thing at the moment when it doesn't display a ",',`,~, or ^ until i press the next character. If that character happens to be a vowel it does this: ü,ú,ù,õ or this û.

The only thing it comes in handy for is writing über but thats about it.

Don't know how to turn it off either...

261240 2004-08-13 21:34:00 A Sticky is a message that stays at the top of the board, even if it's locked. Normal users can't post them, only Moderators and Administrators. Megaman (344)
