Computer laptop keyboard acts as the CTRL key is stuck
No particular reason, that I can isolate, the keyboard on my brand new HP laptop will act sometimes as sank the CTRL key. For example, if I type 'problem' when the problem occurs, most applications will be to print this page. It is especially annoying and I can't reproduce the problem... it is seemingly random.
I disabled all the keyboard shortcuts as I can find a way to make keys sticky. I installed all available updates. I removed the keyboard driver and let the system to reinstall. And many other things I could think
The only thing that seems to make the problem disappear (outside reboot) is to bring up the keyboard on the screen. All loading screen keyboard fixes the problem. This leads me to think that the problem may ultimately reside with the on-screen keyboard.
I have not installed software on this computer that came with it at HP except Google Chrome.
Return "no questions asked" warranty will expire soon, so I would like to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).
I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).
No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.
I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string

The CTRL key on my macbook pro has suddenly stopped working, but only for
Hello
I have a Macbook Pro with Yosemite, and suddenly today the ctrl key stopped working but only when it comes to special characters, not to do a right click. I have accidentally set something off the coast, or what happened? I write a lot in Swedish on this computer (that I bought in the USA where I live too), I need these special characters, so is there an easy way to solve this problem?
See you soon,.

Use the toggle button to simulate the Ctrl key now
Hello
I saw someone asked something very similar before, but nobody seemed to know the solution.
I was wondering if it is possible to use a toggle button to simulate the CTRL key now, the idea being that the user could then zoom in on a rectangle of their choice on a field without having to press the button themselves. I know that you can use the FakeKeystroke function to simulate support that the key however is possible that it may be held?
Thank you
I forgot one thing. You must handle the case when you have a real EVENT_DOUBLE_CLICK. In this case, you don't want to reset the keyboardState. Here's the modified code.
char oldKeyState [256] = {0};
char newKeyState [256] = {0};
int isFakeDouble = 0;Zoom CVICALLBACK int (int, int int event, control panel,
void * callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
{
HWND hwnd;
toggleButton int = 0;
switch (event)
{
case EVENT_LEFT_CLICK:get the current state of the keyboard
GetKeyboardState (oldKeyState);
get the State of the toggle button
GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TOGGLEBUTTON, & toggleButton);If (ToggleButton)
{
create the new copy of the keystate
memcpy (newKeyState, oldKeyState, 1);Active control key.
newKeyState [VK_CONTROL] = 128;
SetKeyboardState (newKeyState);generate left mouse button events that will be holding the CTRL active
SetActiveCtrl (panelHandle, PANEL_GRAPH);
GetPanelAttribute (panelHandle, ATTR_SYSTEM_WINDOW_HANDLE, (intptr_t *) &hwnd);)
isFakeDouble = 1;
SendMessage (hwnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0);
isFakeDouble = 0;
}break;
case EVENT_LEFT_DOUBLE_CLICK:mouse event generated will be taken as a double click. restore the old state of the keyboard
If (isFakeDouble)
SetKeyboardState (oldKeyState);break;
}
return 0;

I have toshiba laptop and I have the product key and I do not know what windows is I can find it with the product key or any body help, I can't use it
You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.
If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.
It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

Mouse Sonar: Registry key? Specify the location of the pointer when I press the CTRL key
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
(But this feature existed for several years, at least as old as XP).In Control Panel mouse pointer Options tab, there is a checkbox option:
[b] "see the location of the pointer when I press the CTRL key". [/ b]
When this field is selected, pressing the CTRL key causes concentric circles around the mouse pointer, to help you find it quickly. HE often called mouse Sonar.
I want to activate this option, but my mouse control panel does not have a pointer Options tab. I installed a mouse of third-party providers of hardware, software and drivers, and they hid the pointer Options tab. If I knew that the registry key for this option, I can activate it via regedit.
Someone knows the active registry key or disables this option?
This option is stored under this registry key:
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMaskHowever, it is coded to store several variables, and this direct modification is very far from a supported scenario. You can try to install the Microsoft IntelliPoint software instead. -
