Windows Update
I hope someone can help me out with this. I wanted to
update my system with XP sp 2 although when I went to do this I was prompted to download the new update installer from microsoft. So I download the first part and it ask to restart which I did. When it booted back up it came up with a filter keys message, I selected settings to see what it was and it also had sticky keys and other options. I decide to cancel that and then click on my IE icon which then selected every icon from that point up on my desktop. I was unable to stop this from happening so I went back to a previous restore and the problem went away. I did not get the filter keys message upon restart. I tried to download the windows update installer again and it did the same thing. Again I hope someone can help me out with this. Thank you, Randy |

Thank you, Randy It sounds like your keyboard has a few stuck keys - specifically Ctrl and Shift. Go back to Accessibility Options in Control Panel. In the StickyKeys section, uncheck the box to use the keyboard shortcut. Then click on the Settings button and uncheck the box next to "use keyboard shortcut." Repeat the steps for FilterKeys. This won't stop the keys from sticking but it will stop those features from starting. Try giving the keyboard a good cleaning. Hopefully the results will be keys that aren't sticking. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows XP Shell/User |
