      When I hold shift for around 10 seconds I get this "sticky keys" thing come up. I click cancel but then the touch pad starts to play around. When I scroll down it goes between pages I've been on the internet and when I click on a word, it high lights every word upto the one I click.
      The only way I get rid of the problem is by turning the laptop off (restarting it doesn't).

      Is there a way to stop this happening?

      Thanks in advance

      Yeah, it does have a button for settings when it appears to turn off the hotkey.

      Sometimes it&#39;s not enough to uncheck "sticky keys". You shoul go "sticky keys setting" and in there disable the first selection. (use short cut)

      lol, i used to have loads of fun with the beeping in Accounting when I was in high school, just keep bashing the keyboard and it&#39;ll eventually turn itself off. Just another great example of WINDOWS FUNCTIONALITY.

      Reminds me of battleship sounds....
      Just keep moving…

      That or a great example of how reading the message that pops up could&#39;ve saved you a lot on broken keyboards.

      I don&#39;t run windows on my computers, so that&#39;s never a problem.. who cares about the broken keyboard in school.
