The shift key will stay active until you click on another key. If you
change your mind about needing an upper case character, click the Shift
button a second time.

Mine is sticking, too.

Hello,

Does Windows offer a download for the XP On-Screen
Keyboard? I have XP and think I need to re-install my On-
Screen Keyboard. Recently, after clicking shift to
change the case of a letter, it acts like shift is still
on, though it does not stay highlighted and the view of
the keyboard goes back to lowercase. If I switched from
typing in one program with the On-Screen Keyboard to
another program, it continues typing as if shift was on
and if I go to click on an item in a folder to open it,
it selects multiple items like you can when using the
shift-click method.

Does clicking Shift again to toggle it "on" and click again to toggle "off"
stop the sticking?

If you disable all of your extra startup programs (log off/log on to start
"clean"), does the problem remain?
