If I hit 'Caps Lock' I get alt-tabbed out [FIXED]

Unread post by freddie515 »

Title says it all.
I havent noticed it in any game other than tf2, and it only started happening over the past few weeks.

Any ideas ?

I have no real signature, so this will have to do for the time being.

Why would you need caps lock?

Also, is there anything that would usually pop up if you press caps lock (something built-in by the manufacturer?) Maybe try running it in windowed mode (add -window -noborder to your launch options.)

Yes, a symbol pops up when I turn it on.
If I run in windowed, I'm not alt-tabbed out.

I guess I need to find a way to disable this then ?

Best I can do is a screenshot of the desktop.

I'm afraid that it is something integrated in the driver/some extra keyboard software the manufacturer installed with it and that it'll be hard to fix. I'm no expert on this though, so maybe you should check Google for it.

If you post your laptop name, I'll search a little bit for the problem tomorrow.

Edit: Nvm, try this.
