| | shift key problems I was using my laptop this afternoon when a filter key option came up unexpectantly. don't know what I did but when I use the left shift key I can type upper case letters like so ABDEFGHIJKLNOPQRSUW, the tvxyz can not be typed using the right shift key. from the right shift key I can type abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz nothing in upper case letters - the above alphabet was holding the right shift key down. i am running windows vista home premium. any thoughts as to how to fix my problem are most welcomed. -- Thanks, Kate |

| | Re: shift key problems I tried to remove all of the checks under the ease of access center. when I click on apply button the save selection becomes unavailable and the only choice left is cancel or the red x at the top. when I just click on the save button no changes take place and I am left with the same problem as before. any other thoughts -- Thanks, Kate "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote: Quote: > Kate > > Open Control Panel and double click the Ease Of Access Center.
