    while playing games on my 7811 every now and then i get asked if i would like to activate my sticky keys (you get asked by pressing shift 5 times)
    i dont want to activate it but is their a way to get the machine to stop asking me ?

    thnx ^^

    Edit: i forgot to mention that when it asks me, it minimizes the window in witch im playing <--thats the annoying part >.>

    Ok, press the Shift Key 5 times so the StickyKey window comes up, then go to settings, Settings again in the stickykeys category (first one).

    And uncheck "Use Shortcut"

    That'll fix your problem. ;) :) :p

    Next time, just google "how to turn off sticky keys" instead of posting borderline spam because this has nothing to do with a gateway laptop.
