My CAPS LOCK does not act a button anymore!
If I press the CAPS lock then I need to press the SHIFT button in order to unlock caps.
I bought a new one and the problem still remains.
If I log on to XP as a guest then CAPS works as a button.
Can someone help me before lose my fingers?

Thanks!

sticky keys maybe?

(windows accessibility option as opposed to jam on the keyboard).


sticky keys maybe?



Yep, definitley seems like a case of the deadly sticky keys. One of the worst and most irritating features of Windows IMO!

I unchecked every check box I found there! but nothing happened
I am afraid that I need to search between thousands of records in my registry @!@@!!!

I sometimes get problems like this after an OS reinstall when I accidentally turn on sticky keys. My keyboard goes completely retarded, so I just reboot. Have you tried that?

Yes Gfk I tried.
But finally I found the solution!
Because I have installed the Greek XP I don't remember exactly the English terminology but I will try:

Control Panel->Regional Settings->Languages(the second tab)->Details (the only button in this dialog)->Key options (the second key lower right)
and voila:! There are two radio buttons to select if the CAPS will be deactivated with the CAPS LOCK or with the SHIFT key.

In any case thank you all for your response.
