gaming and caps lock key??

once in a while i acidentlly press the caps lock key instead of the tab key and my comp freezes until i press the fire button.so far it only happens with crysis and battlefield bc2.is ther something you can do about this.

 

Yeah I have the same prob with BFBC2. Disabling OSD fixes the prob though.

 

I've had this problem , you don't need to disable OSD , batboy posted a fix for this in another thread

Not OSD, leave that one alone.

Its the Bluetooth driver. Do not uninstall it... If you have CCleaner, go to the startup items module, highlight bluetooth.lnk and select disable to prevent it from loading at startup. This should resolve the issue.

If you aren't using CCleaner, just type MSCONFIG into the RUN command and then select the startup tab. Uncheck 'Bluetooth'.

For good measure, open up the Bluetooth Control Panel and on the Options tab, uncheck the box for 'Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area'. "

it worked for me, no more raging while accidentally pressing caps lock in bad company xD

 

If you want a REAL fix, without disabling BT, open up Regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Widcomm > BTConfig > General

Find the value "KeyIndication" and set it to 0.

 

Thanks I have been locking for this!

 

Cool stuff, when playing Just Cause 2, hitting the caps button will kick you out of full screen mode. Never understood why, and although its rare that I accidentally hit it, its still anoying. so thanks for the fix!

 

Well disabling osd works just fine for me.

 

Thanks man works like a charm

 

what is regeit.step by step instructions would work better thank you.
