Sticky Keys is functional but the beep-sound turns off and on so I don't know when it's on?

Question

I always have Sticky Keys on but when when the right-side Ctrl key kept working on and off I decided to restart the computer. Now, I have to keep checking whether Sticky Keys is on because a few minutes after I turn on Sticky Keys the beep-sound that's supposed to be heard when pressing a Sticky Key disappears but the Sticky Keys function is still working but silently. But now I never know whether it's on or off...what is going on?

Other thing is ever since the Sticky Keys started having the non-beeping problem keyboard shortcuts aren't working. For example, before Win key + Up arrow = maximizes current window but now it doesn't work.

Win 7 64-bit.

Answer 1

• Go to Start->Control Panel->Ease of Access.
• In the Ease of Access Center, you should see an option to "Change how your keyboard works", click this.
• Once you are on the next "screen', you should see an option to "Set up Sticky Keys", click this.
• Under Keyboard Shortcut, you should see a checkbox for "Make a sound when turning setting on or off"

You can also get to this menu by hitting your sticky key 5 times and then click the link "Go to the Ease of Access Center to disable the keyboard shortcut"
