I haven't suffered from sticky key syndrome in games for ages, and now I get it constantly in Grand Prix 3.

The "A" key which is the accelerator sticks, making the game unplayable. The easiest way around this would be to plug my force feedback wheel in, but I'm too lazy

This only happened recently when I got a new keyboard or possibly when I installed DX8 (Keyboard in question was an MS Internet Keyboard Pro which has now changed to a MS Natural Keyboard Pro, which has made absolutely no difference - using the Intellitype 1.1 drivers)

Anyway, its annoying...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Windows 2000 SP1
Athlon Classic 800
ASUS K7V
Guillemot Geforce II GTS (7.52)
320Mb RAM
Grand Prix 3 (v1.13)
SB Live
etc etc etc etc....

Anyone else with more than two brain cells?

ok
but lol @ me

it was funny....

anyway
since its only one key i would think that its a hardware fault, try a different keyboard and see if it still happens.

other than that, check windoze keyboard setup for anything concerning the A key...

hope that helps more than my last post...
