I have very very bad sticky keys in Nox when running win2k. The game is unplayable.
 
I am using a Logitech Mouseman Wheel. (USB)
 
I hope you guys can find a cure to this.

Ok, I've now tried Mechwarrior 3 and Rogue Spear and both had serious problems with stickiness. I went back out and killed all background apps which got rid of most the stickiness, but there was still a slight stickiness.

Ok, I've crumbled & have re-formated my system, re-installed Win98SE & now dual boot with Win2K. All my games are on Wintendo98 & my apps are on Win2k. No sticky keys or nothing.
I did turn off all other apps, raised the sensitivity of my mouse to 200 & changed the system to background apps & none of that helped my sticky key problem in Rogue Spear. So, back to having 2 OS's on my system, oh well. I play enuf games on the net that I had to do this, atleast till Microsoft issues another game patch for Win2k & it fixes Rogue spear... my favorite game.

I only had sticky keys prob with Win2k RC3 (2185). After up[censored] my BIOS and formatting to put on Final no sticky keys.

OK, I hope that I am not too late here. I haven't had any problems with UT, Q2, Q3A, Half-Life, Forsaken. But, I have this "...Dummies" book that I am using to review for the NT Server in the Enterprise and it has some dinky little game. When I tried it (it appears to be DOS-based) I kept having a "sticky-keys" problem. If I held the key past the initial pick-up to the point where it would repeat the strike, the ship would keep moving in that direction until I hit that same key again. I didn't try this game in 98 because it was stupid anyway. I just thought that the game was trying to interpret KB commands directly (passing the HAL?--I didn't know if this situation applied to the KB as well) and it just freaked. Other than that, nothing else.

..gonna go try messiah now

I'm noticing people --increasing-- the sample rate for their keyboard and mouse...
 
NT always had a higher sample rate for each that 9x.
 
You may want to consider slowing the sample rate down. Yes, slowing it down. It's probably going too fast for the game.
 
And one fix was to go to Control Panel/System and set Application Performance priority to Background Services.
 
Given the number of games that exhibit this is limited (i.e. it doesn't happen in every game) doesn't that suggest a game programming issue?

No problems with Quake3, Star Trek Armada, Unreal Tourney, Half-Life...using a microsoft ps/2 mouse

I'm running dual366@550 on BP6 and have had the sticky keys(loss of mouse and keyboard) with three logitech mice:
PS/2 firstmouse wheel,
ps/2 firstmouse threebutton, and
ps/2 mouseman 95(old wedge design(aka gaming mouse)).
 
My Story:
 
I ran all the betas Plus the 2195 final with my threebutton firstmouse for months without problems, until I switched to the firstmouse wheel. That's when i started getting sticky keys. Unfortunately I also upgraded to Mouseawre 9.0 so all that time i thought it was that.. I uninstalled, reinstalled, everything(including win2k) but i still kept getting the sticky keys with the firstmouse wheel.
 
Bah! sucks eh? I thought I had it figured out before where i had a week of no crashes with the ps/2 firstmouse *threebutton*(i finally switched back to see if it was the mouse). I also changed my MPS 1.4 to 1.1.
 
I switched back to the firstmouse wheel and bam! sticky keys. For uncontrollable reasons i couldn't get the threebutton firstmouse back so i went out and bought the old mouseman95 mouse(i love the feel of it, also three buttons) and tried it out thinking it was a wheel problem, but i still get sticky keys in games AND in plain ol' desktop(was always like this).
 
I'm desperately trying to get back my three button firstmouse...

Right, I've just installed the 1.1 update for NoX from Westwood, which apparently fixes the sticky mouse/run problem.
 
I've yet to play to any depth, only to see if the game ran okay, so I'll let people know how I get on, probably tomorrow.

Ok, I've tested Nox ver 1.1, and the sticky button/run problem seems to have disappeared now, so it looks like it may be up to individual software developers to fix problems with some software, although with others like UT and Q3A who are having problems, it may be hardware related.
 
At least I've got one game working properly now...
