« on: March 01, 2007, 05:39:59 PM »
is there a way to stop these from working on keyboard without ripping them out with a screwdriver? (like i did on my last keyboard).

Over the last couple of days i keep managing to open two disability programs (narrator and something else) mid flight which makes AH minimise.

Thanks in advance.

ROFLOL, Furby!

I want to know how you disabled it!!!! It happened to me a lot of times, too, to press the win key instead of the alt key... you all know too well what happens and you can imagine my reaction (:furious)

Please, tell me, how did you disable it? (of course if it's not by using the screwdriver :D)

it's easy enough to disable if ya' wanna play around w/ your registry.

Hehe, same here.  I have an old IBM keyboard with an actual mechanical "click click" with each key press.

I just disabled mine in keyboard setup.

my old computer i popped the keys out using a screwdriver and shaved the ends down so that they did not touch the sensor inside the keyboard, then just put them back in.  Voila!

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
