unable to disable sticky quote

[snacht]

I'm on windows 7 Ultimate fully updated and MS office 2003 pro SP3.

Since I installed office 2003 I get the following behavior:

When I type the quote key on the keyboard, it does not appear on the screen. When I then press for example, the 'o' key it will display the ó character on the screen. To get the " I wanted I need to press the quote key twice. successively. This is the behavior in all applications, not only Ms Office.

Microsoft calls this the "sticky key" feature which is understandably a useful feature for many people. I'm trying to disable it.

My findings thus far:

- Disabling sticky keys in "Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center\Set up Sticky Keys" does not work.

- Turning off all auto text/auto correct options in office does not work.

- Even though it affects all applications, I conclude it must be MS office related because it started only when I installed office.

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks.

It seems you are not the only one to experience compatibility problems with Office 2003 and W7 - see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproappcompat/thread/0e3cab06-4813-4530-86ff-b2256dd5601c

Having said that, I installed that version of Office on a W7 Home Premium with no obvious problems a few weeks ago.

As a long shot, is your W7 32 bit or 64 bit?

I am not sure if this is right but I have heard that a keylogger virus can cause this kind of problems especially on MS office 2003.If it is not a virus it might be a compability problem
