Vista - Toggle Keys won't stay on?

I find the Toggle Keys facility (makes a sound if you accidentally - or
otherwise - hit Caps Lock, Num Lock or Scroll Lock keys) extremely useful.

However, since 'upgrading' to Vista, I find that the facility keeps
switching itself off - probably every time I reboot in fact.

Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there a known solution
please?

Thanks,

V

I have the same problem

Have you tried: Control Panel (Classic view) > Ease of Access Center > "Make
the keyboard easier to use" link, and checking the "Turn on Toggle Keys"
checkbox?

seconds)

However, have redone it once again - using both the save and apply options
(not sure why they are both there) - and certainly this morning, on reboot,
the setting had not been lost. Out of curiosity, I unchceked the Num Lock 5
secs option.

I'll keep an eye on it over the next week or so.

Thanks,

news:%23nBpgabDIHA.3848@xxxxxxIt might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.

this time...!

Has anyone let Microsoft's Vista Developer's know that Toggle Keys does not
work?

Ever since I used Cal Bear 66's method (see earlier in this thread), my
Toggle Keys have stayed on, and worked ok.

What problem do you have with TK?

I had that set already. I've been using Toggle Key's since Windows 2000,
very helpful feature for me. Perhaps it's this new HP desktop. I'll check
the BIOS for a system speaker setting and report my findings next week.
