Are you trying to play Rogue spear, avp, or UT in win2k and have "sticking keys"?

I have read many posts in here about people with these problems

There are 2 things you can do that will fix this condition 95% of the time.

1. Go to the control panel-->Accessibility Options. Open and go through every screen and uncheck or disable everything. This by itself will fix most games.

2. Rogue spear (and a couple other games) will require another step. Go to the start menu link for the game-->right click then properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab. Check the Run in compatibility mode, and select win95. Apply to save changes.

Now your games should work fine with no sticking keys.

If that doesn't work, "sticking keys" can also be the result of running a game above or below normal process priority. For more info, check my FAQ.
