Must hold keys down to type
My wife was working on a PowerPoint presentation when suddenly she couldn't type anything on her HP wireless keyboard. We disconnected, rebooted, and tried both the wireless and the regular HP Pavilion laptop keyboard with the same results. I uninstalled keyboard drivers several times, rebooted - nothing. I set to factory defaults - nothing. Today, I discovered that I can type if I hold each key down for two "clicks". This applies to all keys including function keys . I tried to search the registry for something that would set this, but there is too much to go through. Anyone have any ideas on why I should suddenly have to press and hold each key before it accepts the input? I also tried the keyboard setting for keyboard repeat rate and repeat speed (which is how I found that holding down the key would eventually input the character). -- Bonzo

Check out the "Ease of Access Center" in control panel for any unusual
settings. "Bonzo" wrote in message ... My wife was working on a PowerPoint presentation when suddenly she couldn't type anything on her HP wireless keyboard.

FYI - Filter Keys is automatically turned on when the RIGHT SHIFT key is
held down for at least 8 seconds. That's probably how they got turned on. That feature can be disabled through the "Ease of Access Center" if it keeps happening. "Bonzo" wrote in message ... Brilliant! Filter Keys was checked. I unchecked it, and works fine. Thanks a million! -- Bonzo
