You must increase the leadtime before Windows considers your keeping a key pressed down means you want to repeat it.
Open Keyboard Properties by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type keyboard, and then click Keyboard.
Under Character repeat, move the Repeat delay slider to the right to increase how long you must hold down a key before the keyboard character repeats, and then click OK.

Key stuck on (keys are loose, not actually stuck) but works ok with external keyboard

There's more than likely something sticky in your keyboard, someone probably spilled liquid in there and now it's sticking as though your pressing even though you aren't.
A new keyboard will fix this problem.

Sticky keys how do i fix it?

Hi Dgr Welcome to fix ya !

The sticky keys are part of Windows Ease of Access Center Accessibility program.

1. The easiest way to enable/disable the sticky keys is to press the "Shift " key five times. This will turn on/turn off the program.

2. The second way is to press the Windows logo key + U at the same time. This will open the Ease of Access Center. Then select the link that reads" Make the keyboard easier to use."

3. Under the section that reads, "Make it easier to type" you have the option to enable the Sticky Keys or a link to Set Up Sticky Keys. Select whether you want to set up the Sticky Keys or just enable them if you have previously set them up. If setting them up for the first time, remember to click "Apply" after making your selections.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, just leave a comment at the end of this solution and I'll be glad to help. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

The key wont turn the ignition. What is causing

Could be a few things.. But try to eliminate the easiest & least costly first..
Spray some wd40 into the key hole..
Push key in & out several times & do not try to turn it yet..
Repeat a few times - then try to turn it..
Sometimes the key tumblers get dirty & sticky..

If that dose not help - it could be the ignition switch needs to be replaced..

Hope this helps !!
rate me good ;o)

Keyboard doesnt type correctly

try this steps...

Check this --
Start> Control Panel> "...Language...Options">
Regional and Language Options>
Advanced tab,
Change language to "English (United States)"

Could it be the "sticky keys" option is switched on? When you hit the E key does an explorer window open?
Tap the shift key 5 times and have a look. If sticky keys comes up as turned on, turn it off.

or

Could be a stuck key. Try another keyboard.

In sticky keys cannot fix by any way

Access the control panel
Start > Control Panel > Accessibility Options
OR
My Computer > Control Panel > Accessibility Options

You will find the sticky keys option their.

If you are referring to physical sticky keys, and not the accessibility software option in windows:
Using a can of compressed air to remove debris from your keyboard should solve this issue.

Let us know
Good luck
