    A Keyboard issue
    « on: May 20, 2010, 04:09:01 AM »
    ok im preety good with computers, but keyboards not so much.  Whenever I hit the shift, ctrl or alt key it makes a darn beep.  They arent stuck, as in by dirt or hair or anything as no other key does this.

    i could stand a little beeping, the issue is that it makes the key not work all the time, and for some reason i cant find the keyboard settings to check sticky key options and the sort.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

      StickyKeys allows the user to press a modifier key, such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the Windows key, and have it remain active until another key is pressed.
      Turn on Sticky Keys by pressing ALT+R.

          Have you tried to unplug and plug back in? If this doesn't work, shutdown computer, unplug keyboard the plug in then turn on computer. If still does not work, you may need a new keyboard.

          Don't do that with a PS2 keyboard, always shut the computer down first before plugging or unplugging any PS2 device.
