Do you have sticky keys enabled by chance in Wndows? (You are using XP right?)

Try giving the computer a reboot and see if it fixes the problem. Ifnot, press shift 5 times (not ingame) then be sure you do not have "sticky keys" turned on.

If that is not it, be sure your keybaord or mouse are clean, maybe something getting jammed up, or even maybe the mouse is worn out and needs to be replaced? Not sure if there is a setting in Q4 for toggling weapon fire on/off at a constant rate, at least if there is I didn't pay much attention to it. But I have seen some of my own mice start acting strange when they needed to be replaced.

K but does sticky keys affect the mouse? and yes i have xp and ive already disabled sticky keys a long time ago. I just tried unreal tournament and page down was stuck and i kept looking down and the same thing just happened in quake. Could it be i have a wireless mouse and keyboard and the batteries are almost dead? I would change the batteries but im out right now and mine arnt rechargable.

well, yes dead batteries can effect mouse behavior.

And, for the question, sticky keys don't directly effect the mouse, but there is options in the the same location where mouse settings can be adjusted

Press the shift button 5 times, then goto the mouse tab..

I have sticky keys diasabled so nothing happens when i hit shift 5 times. I just got some new batteries and ill see if it does anything.
