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?
 
unchecked"turn on sticky keys"box, program still crashed pressing the shi

z3r0,
glad you made it

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.

voyagerfan99,
nice talking to you
you ever seen the borg episodes?

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.

EVERYBODY
so problem solved right?:eek::eek: 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).....

1. You never said anything about XP.

2. I never said there was a message that would pop up. I'm using 8.1 at work and when sticky keys is enabled, a little keyboard button appears in the system tray. If I hit it 5 times, it enables and disables once or twice, then completely disables.

You're best off completely disabling sticky keys in the Accessibility options in the control panel.

Off-Topic: I've seen every episode of every Star Trek series (except TOS).

hello my friend:D
every episode -- my gosh man, you must be a vulcan! TOS, what's TOS? never heard of it...

1. this has also happened to me before when running xp on a different computer at a different time in life
2. problem solved. i completely disabled everything. the tricky part was a "hidden" section, as in you have to disable this so called user friendly default feature like a million times before you can completely render it disassembled. i think it was "set filter settings" or something -- didn't know that. missed that one. W7, uggg!

thanks for being there for me my friend.
advice from a vulcan:
live long and prosper;)
