Sticky key nightmare

When I use the volume slider on my hp Pavilion, the excel program opens for each click you hear when you drag the volume bar... how do I turn this off?

Try this:

Restore point:

http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

See you soon.

  • How to use sticky keys?

    I have rsi and coordination/proprioception problems, so I can't type without looking at where I tape and cannot coordinate both hands, can not use some grips and cannot use contact devices unless I can turn off the tapping and disable most of the movements. I also have migraines and sensory processing problems, and I can't handle all the flashing and some animations.

    I can type fairly quickly, as long as I can see as I type and all the key combos are not suitable for the same hand.

    I turned on the StickyKeys in the accessibility preferences, as many combinations of keys are designed to both hands and * all * the combinations of keys + mouse are.

    I had problems, however.

    Sometimes the keys get stuck on and I find myself with extra earplugs while typing or missing caps, or worse still, I find myself with something of my migraines trigger and zoom. for example command + scroll touchpad does.

    Also the keyboard and the keyboard Viewer do not work together. I can't use shift a keyboard, and then click the appropriate on the other letter.

    Are there ways to solve these problems? Yes, the keys appear on the screen.

    Hi, have a problem with keys sticky, but in my case in combination with voiceover active: whenever I press a modifier (ctrl, shift, etc.), voiceover announces the sticky keys are enabled. It's so boring that I can't be happy with my macbook air and imac. I'd also like capslock key, acting as a sticky when voiceover modifier key key is assigned to capslock in combination with sticky keys are enabled. Many emails to [email protected]wrote, but I received nothing promises / automated responses back. Please help us somehow! Thanks in advance, Helmuth

  • Unable to turn on sticky keys permanently

    Most here want to remove the sticky keys... I am physically disabled and need to keep ON. I have only one hand (no fingers) so I need to figure out how get SK working full time. My PC will receive Symantec Endpoint Protection but SK call after endpoint connection is requested.

    I tried in my Regedit

    [HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys] "Flags" ="?"

    .. but I'm not sure of what value to put?

    Original title: invoking sticky keys

    Hello

    With the publication of the description, I understand that you want to enable the sticky keys on your computer. I've certainly you will help solve the problem.

    Sticky keys can be activated at any time during a Windows session (including the connection) by pressing SHIFT 5 times. You can also use the control panel to turn on sticky keys permanently, but it won't allow you to do this for the logon screen. However, it is always possible to do this by manually editing the Windows registry. But it's pretty hard in there and if you delete or change a value by any chance there is no cancellation function, and it can have devastating effects on your operating system. So to make things a little easier, you can use the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.

  • My left shift key beeps twice when you press on--NOT STICKY KEYS

    My left shift key does not work. The law works fine. When you press it, it sounds twice. Has Ive restore my computer to an earlier point and that did not fix the problem, any more than to disable and turn off StickyKeys. The key itself is sensitive, it leads me to believe that it cannot be the entire keyboard. Any ideas would be useful.

    BTW, I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Asus U43F

    1. See manual ASUS [service] to see if there is any special significance to it. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/post.htm I thought, but it seems not applicable since it is not starting, it is when running.
    2. check the sticky keys for accessibility-related technologies starting with F1 for help. There are a number of them. start going through one by one to see if something is on. You may have accidentally market something (there are combinations of keys that do this). Control Panel, display small icons, accessibility.
    3. buy a $5 or $22 USB keyboard. IBM makes a mechanical keyboard nice $79, classic, I believe to be a joy to type on (they make them for IBM). http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD
    4. Plug it in
    5. Try the left SHIFT key
    6. If she still double beeps {is your installation of windows or something in the laptop, not your keyboard. you can try reinstalling windows using a repair, which is less expensive, you need to reinstall your programs and drivers, but you keep your data. you can keep this configuration, my mother a.} otherwise, {hardware of the laptop may be in need of repair could cost between $200 (replace keyboard)-800 $ (motherboard).}

    There are more expensive mechanical keyboards, but they are for games.

  • Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn"?

    I need to use the 'home' and 'end '. On my ASUS keyboard, these keys must be pushed simulaneouly with the "fn". I have only one arm that is imposible. Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn".

    My computer is an ASUS UX31E.

    Hello WarwickZD and warwick1,

    The short answer is no.

    We cannot extend this functionality to the Fn keys.

    In order to get this kind of functionality, you would probably need to investigate the 3rd party software.

    Best regards

    I have a Compaq with windows 7 and stay lit and even if the keys i unchecked and re-check all options over and over again I may not go down and her do all really hard. If someone could help me as soon as it would be great. Thank you

    I had the same problem earlier.  Disabled and enabled the sticky key option again and again, rebooted the PC and nothing fixed it.

    In the end, I had to hold the SHIFT key for about 30 seconds without interruption, until you hear a strange noise of slope high.  This fixed it for me.

    Looks like a bug to me.

  • After that liquid sticky sticky keys has been spilled on Equium A210-1AS

    Hello

    I accidentally spilled a liquid sticky on my keyboard.
    Fortunately, I managed to dry out and sound ok, but my O, P, K, L, 0 keys are really sticking undearneath.

    I was wondering if it is easy to remove the keys for cleaning.

    They are easily removed and put back in place?

    Thank you
    Lisa

    Hello

    You can only remove the key caps.

    The key caps can be removed easily you need a thin object and can the fixing of the lever Cap.
    But do it with care to ensure that the support would not break.
