Ok, I tried this modification to stop the program from repeating the cout, but it only works once... here;s the orignal bit..

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) != 0)
{
cout << "Oh yeah!" << endl;
while ( ++i < 100)
{;}
cout << "Boo!" << endl;
}

So it will show Oh yeah! stop.. then display Boo! on the first keystroke, but then go back to the massive repeating. Then I realized that i was never reset, so the cycle never restarted. So I tired the following.

if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) != 0)
{

i = 0;
cout << "Oh yeah!" << endl;
while ( ++i < 100)
{;}
cout << "Boo!" << endl;
i = 0;
}

This time it didn't even pause... Help?

possible solution
I haven't gotten a chance to actually try this out, but I'm pretty sure it will work.

if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) != 0)
{
   cout << "Oh yeah!" << endl;
   cout << "Boo!" << endl;

   while (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP) != 0);
}

See how that works. It should only display the text once each time the key is pressed.
