If you lazily hold the shift key down for more than 8 ses, as did? the omputer gets 'sticky' keys!! And that was my problem, no matttter how much shouted and swore, ildn't change. so gogled it, and learnt how to fix it?? I know it's a bit bizare. i do have probs with first lettters in words, and it keps mising the odd leter. But hey ho, much improved! C x
I'm on my Kids PC because my cured computer got sick again :(
I did try the google instructions, but thing is do I want to speed up the time pressing keys??? or slow it?? I've tried both, non worked...Urrrrrgh
I'm fed up, but not really. Hey I went to my GP and bumped into my first kinda boyfriend (Hi David. 31 years ago!!! 31 years ago, I had to say that twice because it's sooo shocking!!!
If you are looking at the same dialog as me then you probably want to move the "Repeat Delay" one towards "Long" and maybe the "Repeat rate" towards Slow. If you turn them both all the way then it will not repeat at all and you will have to press the key lots of times when you want to do "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Not necessarily a bad thing.
"Sticky Keys" is a different thing where you can press Crtl or Alt and then another key instead of doing them bot at the same time.
The old turning it upside down and whacking it trick by any chance?

ReplyDeleteAhhhh one of those those clever Microsoft things that are supposed to make computers easier to use, but actually don't.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
Google sticky keys disable for how to kill them permanently if you haven't already.
