Sticky Keys active

[Guest]

The Stick Keys have activated themselves.

When I type 'e' the 'My Computer' window opens and when I type 'r' the 'Run'
process starts. The problem is that I did not turn the function on in the
Control Panel Accessiblity option. And also it is not set in the
Accessibility option so that I can turn it off.

Can anyone help me turn the Stick Key option off?

When I tried that nothing is happening. In the Accessibilty Option the
Sticky Key check box is un-checked so it really supposed to be off.

....in the past, when I've switched on "sticky keys" by accident, (i.e. I was
idly tapping the [Shift] key), and "sticky keys" would stubbornly not switch
off, I found that switching them on, and "apply"ing the change, and then
switching them off, and "apply"ing the change, and then rebooting finally
switched it off.

Sorry. The turning on and off the Sticky Key option did not work.

This looks a little hopeful, though I don't understand the part about
holding down both [Shift] keys ?

The Stick Keys have activated themselves.

When I type 'e' the 'My Computer' window opens and when I type 'r'
the
'Run'
process starts. The problem is that I did not turn the function on
in
the
Control Panel Accessiblity option. And also it is not set in the
Accessibility option so that I can turn it off.

Can anyone help me turn the Stick Key option off?

Maybe one of the Windows keys is sticking on the kb. Try borrowing
another keyboard as a test, or try removing the driver for the kb from
the Device Manager. Upon reboot, the reload of the driver might solve,
if the driver was damaged.

RJK,

Thanks for all of help. But all the attempts just give temporary results
and the symptoms re-appears.

I think my next step will be to format the drive and re-install.

Cheers

How about :-

....about half way down the page are two registry tweaks,
"Disable Sticky Keys or Delete Sticky Keys"
