Filter Key::: Is it ON? Is it OFF? Please can someone just tell me how to make it STOP!!
Sometimes while I'm pursing a text file or looking at something in Agent, I hold down the SHIFT key as I select what I want to highlight and do whatever with. Someone must have addressed the problem on my last computer but on (this) my new computer I have a problem. When I press the shift key for over 8 seconds (per my system telling me this) I get a message telling me that I can make a decision re Filter keys. I can leave it, or turn it off or adjust the setting. Regardless of what I choose my system goes Ape****. With the USE FILTER KEYS box unchecked, when I try to move my mouse it highlights everything. If I check the box all my keys do are beep when I press them. This seems like a creation of the devil. I cannot seem to chose the correct response. My only option is to reboot. Can someone help me over power this sadistic FEATURE? I don't want the computer to do anything if I hold the SHIFT Key down for 8 seconds, 8 minutes or 8 hours. I'm not trying to send any secret messages. Under Settings for Filterkeys I unchecked USE SHORTCUT I would think that this would fix the problem, but as nothing is as it seems ( to me at least ) dealing with this option, and the fact that I have to reboot between each change to see if it worked, I was hoping someone could chime in here. I using XP and I used its help option which was pretty useless. After I reboot I'll scour the web. Any help appreciated. Roy |

When I press the shift key for over 8 seconds (per my system telling me this) I get a message telling me that I can make a decision re Filter keys. The don't do that. Under Settings for Filterkeys I unchecked USE SHORTCUT I would think that this would fix the problem, but as nothing is as it seems ( to me at least ) dealing with this option, It works fine here. and the fact that I have to reboot between each change to see if it worked, No rebooting required here. Roy I would turn off everything in Accessibility Options that looks like something you don't need or won't be using. |
