If you cannot log into Windows because of accessibility dialogues offering you help
- Symptom: You cannot log in since accessibility tool dialogues (like above) come up when typing your password
- Workaround: Restart the computer (and make sure you have no item sitting on the keyboard while doing so, usual suspects: textbooks, bags). If you do not want to restart, but fix it immediately, you can read more about Windows XP accessibility features and keyboard shortcuts here.
- Root cause: You may have activated Windows accessibility features by erroneously depressing for a long time or repeatedly pressing a modifier key while the LRC computer was on the welcome screen. You may not run into this behavior from your personal computer (or read here how to disable Windows 7 Sticky and Filter Keys), but the LRC needs to be ADA compliant. Think of it as another LRC language tool that sometimes may get into your way temporarily if you do not study the language, but that you would not want to miss for the language you do study.
