minimizing games

My games keep minimizing when i hit the alt or ctrl keys. It doesn't occur every time but if i hold the key it happens more frequently. It only happens while playing full screen games. This only started to happen after i reformated my computer. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop this?

Sticky-Keys.
This is something on your HD, and I still haven't figured out how to stop this myself.
I believe it happens when you click the alt key, ctrl key, or shift key 5 times in a row, and when you hold them down for more than 15 seconds... I'll submit a follow-up when i figure out how to disable this stupid thing....

To disable the sticky keys
press shift 5 times so that box comes up, there will be 3 options called "settings"
Go into setting on each of them and disable the sticky key
Summary: yes but the 'print screen' buttons do not stack up screenshots, they only save one image on the clipboard at a time, so get used to minimizing games to paste the image (Ctrl+V) -Avarik nomoresnsleft3 ...
