Evening All,

I'm having trouble with my microsoft natural multimedia keyboard (i think!). I turned the windows logo key to disabled as i always press it in the middle of a firefight on CoD, which works fine.
BUT every now and then I'll press "F" to respawn in the game and its opens the find tool, or press "D" to strafe right and it goes to the desktop. I've no idea how/why its doing it!! I'm running on XP and the help and support tool tells me about the shortcuts but not how to stop it happening, which i'd assume the whole "disable this key" thing would have done!
I have to disconect every time from the game and i've no idea how i've turned it off!!!
I'm assuming that i've pressed a series of keys or kept one pressed for to long?

helplessly and pre-thankfully,

BigD

Not sure- But you can go to [Properties] of Keyboard and see what - [HOT KEYS] - settings you have set -

Appears that you might have [F] Key set to [Find Tools] & the [D] Key set for [Desktop] – Probably have to [Uncheck] the selection –

Cheers Jack123,
But the keyboard properties only let me disable the special keys (like the media player keys). I can't find any where to disable the hotkeys.

If it happens only once in a while – Perhaps – you might have a [Stuck Key] – like [CTRL] or [ALT] or [Windows] or [APPLICATION] – Try cleaning Keyboard -

Did you set up some Hot Keys at one time -

To set the HotKeys-
1- Open Control Panel
2- Open [Regional Options]
3- Click on [Input Locales] TAB
4- [Hot Keys for Input locales] – Click key sequence that you want to change –
5- Type in changes or Delete

Look at these Web sites on WIN 2000 XP HotKeys

Another problem could be – If you play games on Internet – Active X Problem –

I've given the keys a vacum.
I've disabled some shortcuts in regional options.
And the links were very useful too!

Thanks alot for your help Jack123.

Cheers,
