Hi Laura,

1. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

2. what Windows operating system do you use?

Method 1:

You can try to install the latest version of the drivers from the Acer site and check.

Support of Acer & downloads

Method 2:

You can also check if the FN key is enabled. If so, then try to switch it off.

Method 3:

If you still experience the problem, try to activate the on screen keyboard and check if the problem persists.
Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

  • Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have suddenly stopped working?

    Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have stopped responding? I checked that Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers mode live view and they do not work here either. It was fine a few weeks ago that it's almost as if the web browsers stopped tearing Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not yet recognized as links.

    I use 'old' on Dreamweaver CS4 spry assets (if that makes a difference). Active Spry tabbed panels are removable panels.

    Thanks for your help.

    Manufacturers should come after the library. In other words, you have moved libraries below links

    
    

    Move high to the bottom of your page and everything is fine.

    This brings me to ask why you do not use SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup as in Spry/SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup.html to the adobe/Spry master · GitHub

  • After you create a site in recent months, the effects of scroll have suddenly stopped working in preview mode and publication.

    Hi all

    I fortunately worked on the Web site a page of simple Parallax for the last few months working on it and style stable thanks to a test site of Business Catalyst using my creative cloud account. After you open today to make final changes, I see everyone with the exception of a single element with scrollbars attached effects were completely missing in preview mode. After having published the site again to the location of the test are lack there as well and I cannot work out why it happened. Very frustrating as I had just reach a point where I was happy with the content. I even restored a backup version from two weeks ago, when the site was work and site the same items were missing when they appear just as usual in design mode.

    Any thoughts anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Sorry people, should have tried really this first - it took a reinstall of the Muse to solve the problem.

  • Acer Aspire R7: Touchscreen suddenly stopped working

    Hey everybody,

    I have an Aspire R7 (running 64-bit Windows 8). Yesterday morning my touchscreen suddenly stopped working.

    After each start, I see an error in the event log stating something like "Driver\WUDFRd could not load the driver for the device HID\VID_0483 & PID_91D1 & Col01\7 & 1b0945e0 & 0 & 0000.

    In Device Manager there is no device showing an error or something. In the category "Monitor" it is only a PnP monitor listed - shouldn't the TouchInput unit shown here? Edit: I also looked through the HID devices: the appliance with the ID hardware event log message is not there, too.

    I tried reinstalling the drivers HID-monitor using Acer Recovery Manager, but nothing else happens after showing some information like 'installation'. Also, there is no change in Device Manager.

    I also removed the "PnP Monitor' of Device Manager and began a 'search for new hardware", but that doesn't lead to the "PnP Monitor' be reinstalled.

    I also perform a factory reset, but that did not help, as well.

    I would really appreciate help from anyone. I'm at work now, so I wouldn't be able to test stuff until about 17:00 (MEST).

    Kind regards

    Jan

    I found the reason of my touch screen doesn't respond do not: if I position the screen in a very precise angle - 'almost' tablet mode - the screen reacts to the keys and of the previously disabled HID devices becomes active. I had sent in my laptop for repair after a default display - apparently in some sort the touch sensor was not back in place correctly when the screen has been replaced

    Seems that now I have to send my laptop in another repair (making three repairs for this laptop - the default mentioned display occurred after the motherboard has been replaced by the same Acer repair center)

  • Lost 10 keys on Acer Aspire 7741Z-4633

    On my Acer Aspire 7741Z-4633 17 "with the full keyboard and includes the 10 keyboard keys on the right side.
    Recently, I replaced the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows Pro 8.1.  Everything is loaded and it works fine, with the exception of 10 keys.
    My system came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    What steps should I take without having to install back via the recovery (notice: an unreasonable expectation of Acer $39), to restore the keyboard 10 right?
    What file of installable driver for 64-bit Windows 7 will take over this function on my computer?

    Thank you
    apexadam

    I thought about it.  #stupid
    Solution: Press NumLock to activate the scale of 10 keys between arrows or numbers.

    Laughing out loud.  Everything else was assumed initially.

    I win.

    Troubleshoot camera connection

    Vista references apply to Windows 7.

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and any software control of the 'IF' camera, there is
    everything for Windows 7.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

  • Speakers worked very well and have now stopped working

    Original title - so my speakers do not work and I need help fixing it. Anyone know how to fix the speakers?

    I have problems with my speakers. I use my old laptop sisters and the speakers were working well and then they stopped working so my question is how can I fix my speakers without upgrading

    There are too many ways to solve this problem, but first of all, we need to find what is the source of the problem.

    Put on a helmet or another speakers to your laptop (using jacks) if the sound is coming which means source of your problem is your speakers. If you don't hear anything which means your audio device problem. Re-install your audio device and try again. If you don't hear anything take that cell phone service.

    Hey mark them... I don't know that I would say that it's confusing for a DBA is not knowing what is MOS. I've always just thought of her as MetaLink, but then recently Oracle has started calling this MOS. The name fits very well in my opinion, especially after referring to him as MetaLink for so many years.

    It's a simple change of people will have to get used to. In fact, many stores have same Support Oracle (as hard as it is to believe). Other stores rarely use (as hard as it is to believe). Personally, my first place of the answers to the questions is Google, and OTN and if all other fails, MetaLink. Of course, he must go to MetaLink for all upgrades, patches, and power supplies.
