  • SideWinder X 4 does not disable the left windows key in games

    SideWinder X 4 does not disable the left windows key in games.

    When on the windows desktop, he will have the disabled windows key and a small box will popup in the lower right corner, saying he is.
    But if I press it, then in a game (fullscreen), it will be the game tab down, put me to what is "beneath" and open the start menu.
    I tried both Intellitype 8.2 and the latest Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center but they both react in the same way.
    The Bank or the profile is set to number 2 (game) and of course, the windows key is disabled in the settings. Even if I turn it off on THE 3 banks it'll always exhibit the same behavior.
    I tried to implement the individual profiles for the games that I play as well but no luck there either. And re - install the drivers does not help.
    It completely defeats the purpose of this feature. Ideally, she would work on the other hand, being active only in an office environment and disabled in games/full screen applications, but it should at least work as announced, following the rules laid down by the Bank or the current profile.
    In addition, the auto feature does not work with these games or the other and some applications as well. Am I alone in having these problems? I'm ready to completely reinstall windows because it's *.
    Any help/ideas please?

  • Is there a way to disable the project window after creating a new subitem of scrolling?

    I am often editing short aftermovies of the parties, and my workflow is as follows:

    (1) capture and stash movies into a single folder (there is very little opportunity for the planning of specific plans or tagging of videos on the fly)

    (2) ingest media in prelude and browse clips identify useful, subclipping and marking images

    (3) rough cut (possibly) and fine cut of the music in the first

    Step 2 now is where I am really being slown down. Ideally, I would like to go through all the media as quickly as possible. Usually there is only a single subelement with a clip.

    However whenever I add a subitem project window as a whole just scrolls and focuses on the new subitem, and to continue to the next clip, I have to scroll to the top, laboriously seek it or search for it by numbers.

    I thought that order the clips by date would solve this problem because I expected the focus to go to the subitem that should appear right next to the current item. But there is a clear bug in the prelude it is. When you add a subitem whilst having created Date you place your order on what is happening: first a subclip is created down like the order of the user and window emphasizes this point, then the subitem moves instantly after the clip but the view didn't refocus, leaving me in a situation may be even worse.

    It would be great to be (or all):

    1. Remove the bug to update and refocus on the subitem reordered instantly
    2. Added an option to disable automatic scrolling of the project window
    3. Add keyboard shortcuts to move to the previous/next clip
    4. Add a filtering more options for the subitem current only such as the clip alone, Non-tag tag only, video only (ideally through an option of custom filter with check boxes so that you can adapt to your needs)

    Again, this is a big step upwards of multi media organization nightmare of the first window but some (perhaps quite common) use cases are always very refined.

    If mentioned previously mentioned options are already there, please let me know, thanks

    Or said in passing when talking about bugs associated command, try to create a new bin when having Date created sort on. The tray is displayed with its name change, then it pops up and voila you are renaming the last item in the list. Like what the hell guys, you check even the user interface or is CC too fast turnaround for this?

    Loving salvation,

    In my view, the scrolling after you add a subitem issue with display of the icon in the project Panel. I checked prelude scrolls without concentrating on the subelement.

    Please mention your applications features on the following link:

    Feature request/Bug Report Form

    Regarding your 2 concerns, I think that you check the lists of:

    1. create a new bin when Date created sort on. The tray is displayed with its name change, then it pops up and voila you are renaming the last item in the list.

    2 when you add a subitem whilst having created Date you place your order on what is happening: first a subclip is created down like the order of the user and window emphasizes this point, then the subitem moves instantly after the clip but the view didn't refocus, leaving me in a situation may be even worse

    Please mention the version prelude that you work with the prelude--> help--> prelude about Adobe.

    Actually I just checked the above two points. In the colon prelude works very well in front of your comments. When adding Bin, bin is created with rename on and it only remains to this place. If added subelements with Date of order is created, it is created after the main clip, not down.

    Thank you

  • What happens when you disable the service "Windows Error Reporting Service" in order to avoid an annoying and misleading popup error message?

    I kept getting annoying "authentication failure.  Please check your user name and password of the account '... xyz. "" error every 30 seconds. "

    I tried to restore my system and antivirus running - even to reinstall my anti-virus.  I deleted the accounts in question and kept still getting the error message.  Note, receive emails has never been a problem.

    I finally disabled the element of the system of "Windows Error Reporting Service" MS configuration and now the error pop ups have disappeared.  Is it correct to keep this function disabled?

    Thank you.

    To check the event logs, go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / event handler.

    To achieve the reliability and performance monitor, go to start / search and type in reliability, and then double-click the program icon that appears.

    I hope this helps.  You can always check these sites periodically and do not need WER to warn you of a problem (even if it is perhaps faster) - you can check manually.  WER serves a purpose and he gives notification of a problem (which is good), but not in the circumstances that you knew.  This is a "nice to have" feature - not absolutely necessary.  We can try testing again to see if we can find the problem with WER if you're at it - or you can simply leave it off and make periodic checks of manual (decision is yours).

    I hope this helps.

    no idea how I can stop the touchpad to launch Windows 8 charms bar when there is a hit on the right side of the touchpad?  In addition, drag from left to right on the left side of the touchpad app switching begins.  It is a pain that working me inside an application (e.g. web browser) using the touchpad I will accidentally move apps frequently.  How I disabled?  I could not find a setting in the ultranav software provided with the laptop.

  • Photoshop CS2 keeps requires registration at startup; How can I disable the registration window?

    I just downloaded and installed a version of Photoshop CS2 system that doesn't require activation on a Windows 7 system. It has already been validated and registered. Everything works fine. Unfortunately, whenever I start photoshop it always opens the registration window no matter how I answer, "register later", "do not save", propose another recording attempt, or simply close the window. It's a very boring horse I want to disable.

    Yes, I installed it as an administrator.

    I was the cause of the breakdowns and have solved the problem; but have not quite yet fully understood the nature of the underlying cause.  I don't know that it had something to do with a combination of permissions and compatibility modes. In any case, I ran the registration process again in a process of trial and error combinations and was finally able to launch Photoshop without the registration window which pops up again. I am being harassed is more when I start the program and I am now it works normally on Windows 7. I intend to run a little more testing to see if I can resolve the issue a little more. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

    On further testing, I decided that if I run the program in compatibility mode earlier it then allow me to properly register the program. I can then return the program for Windows 7 compatibility mode for normal use.

    You can listen to the event Event.CLOSING and preventDefault on it, for example:

    http://ns.Adobe.com/MXML/2009.

    xmlns:s = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark".

    creationComplete = "init ()" > "

    private function init (): void {}

    addEventListener (Event.CLOSING, cancelClose);

    }

    private void cancelClose(e:Event):void {}

    If (! allowClose.selected)

    e.preventDefault)

  • How can I disable the way Windows 7 organizes buttons in the taskbar?

    Windows 7 is not organize programs according to the order that you run them, he orders them according to the type of programs, but I do like it. How can I have the same old way as Windows XP?

    For example, if I'm under 10 programs and I run Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player button appears at the beginning the buttons on the taskbar which is what I don't want.

    Thanks for any help.

    Two points:

    1. you can rearrange the buttons in the order you want by simply dragging
    the where you want.

    2. If you pin a shortcut to the taskbar, it will stay in this
    position (except if you drag it elsewhere). This is a very good
    thing to do, because it maintains the button in the same place all the time.
    If the program is already running. This is the reason why I
    prefer the way Windows 7 t - it instead of using a quick launch bar
    like previous versions of Windows.
