Thanks for your feedback. MM and I. Where do I go to check the settings? I need very detailed instructions as I'm very far from an expert in using RUN etc. Thanks in advance, GH. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. My thanks to the 2 of you above who bothered to respond and once again, to Dan for his 'essay'. In all fairness, is not that his solution was difficult but in order to get there, the making of bootable disk and commanding in DOS environment, etc were the challenging parts to the IT-illiterate like me.
Glad it worked out for you and you have your sys like new. Now what I see in your instructions is that you did not use a floppy. I have not used or read Goodell completely, too lazy, but I have practiced with JhonUSA tutorial and a floppy disk is a must. Inadvertely you must have found another way to do it. Browse Community.

Last reply by iroc Unsolved. PC Restore Ctrl F11 not working? Below is the link to a freeware utility that lets you block the control key.
I was able to solve my problem by blocking just one key go figure. The other utility, by the way, worked but then started acting buggy so i don't recommend it. This one however seems okay and is FREE. The Emdedded Controller Program v1.
I updated BIOS and embedded controller program, did not fix problem. Sent to IBM for repairs, did not fix problem. Appears to only happen with PS2 style keyboard, and when Num lock is turned on. That fixed the problem. Ordered extra adapters to fix the other 3 that wouldn't work.
You might be able to get one at Office Depot, etc. Will not be ordering any more T43's. Folks, I'm glad it's not just me Nothing of note except the stuff it comes with instlaled ie XP, Works, antivirus Sometimes it's several times a day, other times I'll go a week without triggering the "sticky control key".
When it does happen usually I end up losing all my work and rebooting. Clicking on icons with the mouse or touchpad lights them all up and launches multiple programs. I don't have to have touched the control button for it to happen usually not in fact. I also have the same problem with a Toshiba AS It's a relatively new problem that's creeped into my computer no external keyboard within the last couple of months.
I've seen this problem occur in MS Word and in Explorer. Shutting down and rebooting the programs only appears to solve the problem until the next occurrence, but it's very frustrating. We'll see what happens. If someone discovers a real fix and not just a band-aid, please post. Incidentally, I started having problems around the same time I installed Norton Systemworks with the Go-back feature.
Just a shot in the dark, but could there be a corellation. Wow, been having the exact same for over a year. I have a little routine where I press twice on left shift, twict on left ctrl, twice on left alt, twice on right alt, twice in right ctrl and twice on right shitf and the problems goes away. Basically, someone Thinkpad software? Port replicator? IBM hardware? Sorry, I don't have the solution however But I'm wondering is google desktop is a common thread..?
For now, IBM T43 seems to be the common, although not unique, denominator. Maybe a piece of hardware is common to all TP43 that is also the a few other laptops mentionned here bios?
I know what is happening, and it's a common problem. This is the result of the windows accessibility options being a buggy piece of crap. It can happen if you hold down the shift key for 8 seconds- if you hit "cancel" in the disability dialogue box that pops up, the shift and control keys can get stuck. Although it happened to me yesterday without a dialogue box popping up at all, so watch out. The only thing that has ever worked for me is holding down BOTH shift keys and then F7 all together, for several seconds.
This disables the filter keys just unchecking the box in accessability settings doesn't work, although you CAN change the settings to eliminate the shortcut so that this doesn't happen again. The windows knowledge base says it is enough to just hold down any two keys together, but it doesn't work. It's NOT a hardware problem, or anything to do with the keyboard itself.
Well, this has been happening to me lately and it realy sucks. I work at a webdesign firm in WA so i'm constantly using my shift and control keys.
