I've expressly disabled the StickyKeys shortcut in the Ease of Access Center but it keeps enabling itself when I play Balls of Steel.

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.

Join the club. Same thing happened to me so I just decided to reconfigure the keys to ye olde standby z+/ for the flippers and x+. for nudging. I don't think there is any real way to fix that.

Same to me :/ Try running the game in compatibility mode.

I experienced the same problem. I e-mailed the GOG support team and they gave me a new launcher. Unfortunately this forum does not allow me to upload it nor to post a link. I suggest you e-mail GOG, too. Maybe they will include the new launcher directly in the installer in the future.

@BinaryPoet
Thanks, I'll try that. This phenomenon's VERY annoying, that's sure.

They should update the game and put the new launcher

@ GOG: are you going to update the installer to include the new launcher by default?

You can fix the issue in WIN 7, by disabling the sticky keys feature as mentioned in the first post. BUT don't forget to hit 'set up sticky keys' (under 'make the keyboard easier to use') and disable everything there as well. Otherwise it will be turning itself on again as it is mentioned in previous post.

That won't work, it will be back turned on as soon as you load a table.

Same issue here.
Now I want to punch the guy who made the StickyKeys.

Why is this listed as SOLVED? It seems to be anything but.

I've installed the new launcher and it has solved the sticky keys problem for me. Now I enjoy some old school
pinball fun!
