Windows: Stop Sticky Keys Dialouge from Hampering Your Gaming Experience

Just wonder, you're playing some awesome game like Call of Duty, Assassins' Creed, Crisis, etc. and you had to press the famous "shift" key for some obvious reasons. Then you hear some funny sound on your speakers, your game freezes, your graphics cards wastes your valuable time to change your screen resolution, your game minimizes and this famous 'Sticky Keys' dialogue box appears. Well, that's annoying right? 

All you need to do is to disable the Sticky Keys "keyboard shortcut". In order to do so follow these simple steps:
  1. Press "shift" repeatedly. (5 times to be exact. That's the keyboard shortcut.)
  2. Now that the Sticky Key dialogue box is on screen, click on the blue text "Go to the Ease of Access Center to ..." (on Windows 7) or, if you are using Windows XP, click on the "Settings" button.
    Or, you could go to the Ease of Access Center (Accessibility Center) from the Start Menu.

  3.  Now uncheck the "Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times" option, under the Keyboard Shortcut section. Also make sure that the "Turn on Sticky Keys" option is not selected. Believe me, you don't want Sticky Keys turned on while your gaming.
  4. Now save settings and return to you gaming heaven. 
 Enjoy!
