Sticky keys

[kay kinney]

My son was playing an Internet computer game on
cartoonnetwork.com. After hitting the Shift key several
times, he got a message saying that repeated hitting of
the shift key would result in "sticky keys." Not knowing
what this meant, he continued with the game and using the
Shift key. He got another message asking if he wanted
to "disable sticky keys." He clicked Yes, but then the
keyboard froze up. We are not able to use the keyboard
now at all under his login. I cannot figure out any way
to resolve this.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kay,
You may have to delete his account then recreate it but,
you could try hitting the shift key 5 times again in his current login.
That should disable 'sticky keys' again.
Hope this helps
Chek
