• Dell SK-8135 keyboard shortcuts no longer work?

  Hello!

  Thus, for some time I use a fairly old multimedia keyboard with some registry changes simple to customize shortcut keys multimedia fantasy located here:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / AppKey
  In the folder AppKey are 5 folders with the registry values corresponding to functions for 5 different keys. Sometimes in the past 3 weeks after Windows Update updated (I try to do often enough), Windows broken, or ceased to honor these values/functions.
  Example: the music button would open my Media Player of choice, instead, it opens Windows Media Player; and the electronic key should open a Notepad window, but instead opens with an error 'current assignment for this key is not available.
  It is worth noting that the "Microsoft mouse and keyboard Center" shows only one media key, and its modifications do not seem to be recognized by Windows.
  Oddly enough, I can get the shortcut keys to work again temporarily. If Windows has open Regedit.exe, the keys are functioning normally; However if I focus Windows away from this window (even if it is still open) they break again.
  These functions have the new registry values maybe? If Yes, where are they?
  Thank you
  SirGir

  Update (22/06/13): randomly found the answer! For all of you who have this problem in the future: just uninstall the "Microsoft mouse and keyboard Center", it is right in the menu uninstall programs. He fixed everything!

  The usefulness of keyboard Dell QuickSet controls special keys for of many valleys PCs, but I don't know if it has the same name on your PC keyboard combination.

  You should be able to confirm the name by checking in C:\Dell.  Mine has a subfolder called QuickSet conatins three files exe: QuickSet.exe, Battery.exe & MobilityCenter.exe.  Battery.exe & MobilityCenter.exe are the standard names, search for the third exe in the folder that contains them.

  If adjustment has been corrupted, then it will not make reference to these registry settings correctly and therefore your direct use of these parameters is inhibited as well.  Is not that I heard someone's done this before, but the logic of it seems to fit.

  Find a new copy of the quick adjustment on the site of Dell support, drivers & downloads for your model and install it.  You must not delete the existing one first unless the installation file or its instructions page say you.  I guess you have to put your custom in these registry keys subsequently as quick adjustment values installation probably crushes them.

  I can't explain the part about moving the slider of the RegEdit window - which is pretty weird.

• Upgrade to El Capitan: MS Wireless Desktop Elite no longer works correctly.

  I installed my rMBP to El Capitan. I have a keyboard/mouse MS Wireless Desktop Elite that I like to use and use for years, and this upgrade broke the driver software such as

  • It allows me to no longer share Win/Alt keys (so that the key used as Cmd is in the usual position of the Cmd key)
  • My shortcuts are gone
  • side buttons of my mouse no longer act like 'Before' and 'Back', or seem to do anything at all

  What should I do to get this feature?

  It seems that MS only provides drivers for 10.4 to 10.7

  You can try this, but I have no idea where it'll get you

• The item this shortcut referred to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut no longer works correctly.

  I created a folder on my desktop and files of the copied image on my SD card in the folder newly created on my desktop. This issue has apparently disappeared without a trace as I used it and I can not find anywhere on my laptop.  I do not at any time to delete this file.  It was in the trash, simply disappeared.  I am in desperate need of their return.  Can someone help me find my missing folder?

  This message means that you has not actually copied the file to the SD card, but you rather than a shortcut for it.  So it only works when the SD card is connected.  If the SD card is removed, you will get this message.

• G550 - shortcuts no longer work

  Forgive if I am posting this in the wrong place. Please advise if I should post this elsewhere.

  I have a G550, and it's been great. But today, all my shortcuts to my apps stopped working.

  2 questions/examples:

  (1) if I try to run a web browser from my shortcut from the taskbar, I wonder what program would I use to open it. I can choose the appropriate one, but I can't 'save' this choice. I can launch the web browser, but then it asks if I want to save the firefox.exe file. I click on cancel, and the browser works, but I have to go through this process every time. Same thing with IE and Chrome. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Same result.

  Same question with the other shortcuts taskbar.

  (2) I'm going to start, programs, MS office, MS Word. I get an error message that the application is missing. But I can open a previously saved file Word (and other MS Office applications) without problem. If the demand is there. Just a can not navigate to the 'traditional' way

  Any idea what's going on? My anti virus (average Super) is up-to-date and works very well. Do not suspect a virus, but not sure. Analysis finds no problem.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works

  I use Desktop Manager 4.7 with a Blackberry "BOLD"; I sync with Outlook 2007 and I am running Windows Vista SP1. For the first weeks, the Sync worked well, but now I find that after one or two successful synchronization, Desktop Manager fails to halfway through synchronisation of the calendar entries. I tried every solution I could find on the web, namely:

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Desktop Manager, making sure that I run the installer as administrator.
  • My Blackberry wiping and reinstalling the operating system (I use 4.6.0.365)
  • Delete the Intellisync folder
  • Run scanpst on my Outlookpst file
  • Clear the entries of calendar on the Blackberry

  The latter is the only approach that has produced no results. If I delete the entries on the Blackberry, the

  synchronization process adds correctly, and the next time I run the synchronization, it works without a hitch. If I try to run it a third time, however, Desktop Manager crashes again and the only way I can make it work is to clear the entries on the Blackberry and start over.

  Please, please can someone help - it's so frustrating!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Desktop Sync no longer works

  Thanks for reading and for any input that you are willing to offer.

  I have Windows 7 Professional. My Outlook profile is stored on an Exchange Server and my Blackberry had previously beeng synchronization with Outlook in this configuration for nearly a year without problem.

  Recently, the software freezes the message 'Engine Action loading configuration' and is unrecoverable. I tried the following things to remedy the situation:

  (1) adjust the settings Organizer not to synchronize anything except the date & time. Still happens

  (2) remove all data from the device using Desktop software and try to resynchronize. Same problem

  (3) uninstall and reinstall Blackberry Desktop Software and try to sync with all of the original data and the empty deleted data Blackberry. The same problem.

  (4) tried to wipe off the full blackberry using Cmdr of JL, reinstalling the operating system. In this scenario, I can synchronize addresses, but once I sync calendar problems from ever happening and I can't ever sync it again (including later by deselecting the option of calendar.

  At that time I spent hours scouring Google for help and try the above items. This was a disaster for me because I rely on synchronization had given for work and have already from lack of things.

  I do not think there is something wrong with the Blackberry, because it works very well and works perfectly well after re - charging a fee, OS, etc.

  I tried to play with the balls of support, but because the software freezes before can synchronize calendar, there is nothing in the log that indicates if there is a file corrupted in the event calendar. Nothing won't change significantly in my calendar between synchronization worked and the day that he didn't.

  I tried searching the Blackberry forums and have found some info, but nothing useful. RIM does not provide phone numbers and support AT & T has continually demonstrated himself as worthless during my time with them.

  Are there resources left at all that I could try to move beyond this issue, don't waste any more time and be able to solve the problem?

  Although no one helped me with this I could help I put the steps that I followed down here so that if someone comes on this page of our friend Google, they will be able to try the same thing:

  I ran 'Fix' on the memory card in the Blackberry
  Ran CCleaner on my PC to clean the registry
  Reset synchronization in the Desktop Manager settings

  Finally finally I'm the synchronization again.

• Pavilion dv6 synaptic touchpad disable the shortcut no longer works

  Hello

  I had a few problems with this computer, tried everything finally uninstalled and reinstalled windows (7).

  I used to use the shortcut fuction - double click on the upper left corner of the synaptics touchpad to turn it on and the.

  Because windows was re-installed the shortcut works more I can't turn it off! typing is horrible cause I keep hitting the button accidentally and my mouse goes everywhere, but I need to turn it on as well for when I do stuff on the show without the mouse.

  I think the guy who re-installed windows for me disabled an option because I cannot get the biometric finger-key thing to work now.

  Please someone tell me how to activate the shortcut touchpad option on! I looked under "mouse" in the control panel and tried to search for "touchpad", etc. "synaptic" in the start menu;. but no dice.

  Please, this is driving me nuts (taken as 20 minutes to write this)

  Hello

  First, download the latest installer driver Synaptics, on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55107.exe

  Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, If you see an entry for "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver", right click and select uninstall.

  When this has completed, restart the laptop.

  When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

  Now, you need to configure the touchpad as described in the HP document on the following link.

  Configure the ClickPad.
