F2, F8 and F12 nonfunctional at the start or restart

Windows 7 Home Premium desktop Dell 545 and Dell keyboard most of the work with functional keys once the initialization is complete. However, the start and / or restart the "F2", F8 and F12 keys do not work as expected.

Hello

Yes in the sense... only some of the USB ports are powered so possibly that other USB ports have been
one is not powered, more in charge, or both. Using a hub external powered USB is a good idea
When you use a lot of USB devices. Some USB devices have to be connected to a motor
Hub USB port. A powered USB Hub has a cable that plugs into a power outlet.

  • After you restore rundll32.exe, I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared

    Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs.   I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

  • No cursor on the screen to connect to the start or restart

    Hello, my missing cursor problem is a little different from others, I have not installed VMware, or use a wireless keyboard/mouse. And happen randomly when using the laptop. Also the alarm clock is correct because I only need to enter a password, don't choose between accounts.

    My 13 "mid 2012 retina not MBP was having no problem connecting with 10.11.1. But when I upgraded to 10.11.2 I started having a problem. After that my lap top boots and I just login/password page, there is no mouse cursor for me to click on the user account icon for the password box. This only happens at the start or restart. It occurs only if I got my MBP in hibernation for a few hours and restarted (I run Onyx to clean and a restart is recommended), but now it happens if I had turned it off overnight.

    If I close the lid and put it to sleep for 5 to 10 seconds, and then reopen the lid. I get a black screen for about 5 seconds then the normal login screen returns with a slider and I can connect normally I remember once having to close the cover once more.

    I 'fix' this during a few days by turning off bluetooth in sys. Pref. For some reason, upgrading to 10.11.2 re-enabled bluetooth. But a few days ago the missing number of slider reappeared.

    Today, I tried something different. I used the trackpad to drag the top slider of 'invisible' to the left corner where he usually is at the start and crept above where to seat my account icon. I guessed correctly (had) and was able to click the icon cursor haha. So connect is not buggy, just no cursor.

    If this sounds familiar to anyone or anyone has any advice, I would really appreciate it. I prefer not to do a clean install. Maybe safely remove a demon plist or launch work? Thank you!

    Same problem on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012).  El Capitan 10.11.3

    No solution, but the problem for me is very sparatic and doesn't happen very often.

  • Windows xp Pro chkdsk keeps running over and over again at the start and...

    Running the scan and says no errors found and windows has finished checking the disk and then rest on this screen. I'm unable to boot in a mode, including 3 Safe Mode options. Please help me to help my friend with this problem on his Dell PC.

    Before this error occurring, we run a defragmentation and planned Windows to check the drive for errors.

    Cannot start in safe mode as lists of lines of code system32, then freezes.

    Many Retarts have not helped.

    We have not cahnged anything using F2 or F12 to change Boot & startup menus.

    When XP restarts, it checks the "dirty bit" on each volume (hard disk) to see if a chkdsk needs to be run on the volumes.

    The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if you had a power failure or may have used the power button, had an aborted restart or an abnormal termination.    The only way to clear the bit of impurity on a volume is successfully running chkdsk with error correction (chkdsk/r).

    If you have a regular chkdsk in the meantime, he'll also want to run when you restart the system.

    When you start in Safe Mode, if one of these conditions are met, XP run the chkdsk command, and during this time, your system will be appear to be stuck, frozen or appear to hang with the last thing on your screen being loading mup.sys - shortly after charges mup.sys is when the chkdsk will start running and the system seems to be stuck.

    This suggests that their system is hung on mup.sys when he's really hung at all - chkdsk runs is because it takes or they old to many people is by planning the chkdsk at the next reboot.

    I don't know what AVG load and will not install AVG to know.

    If your system seems to stop mode without failure and the last thing you see on the screen is mup.sys (or in your case of the stuff AVG), look at the HARD drive access light.

    If the HARD drive is flashing, chances are good that the chkdsk command runs either because it takes or it, you have planned.  In this case, you will need to wait outside and if you use the power button, you could make things worse.

    You will need to wait outside and this could take some time depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.

    I think that I start your system in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there, so that you can actually see race and what he has to say.  If that chkdsk /r works own (it might take more than one pass), which erases the volume dirty bit.  It will not relieve your a regular chkdsk system, but I would start there.

    Original title: Windows Vista upgrade to Windows boot disk boot manager is located in the computer but will not start up installation disc

    Im getting the message of File:\windows\system32\winload.exe

    Hi WillieGuyton,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

    (4) what is the number of brand and model of your computer?

    Method 1:

    Step 1: disconnect any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access pre - install the system recovery tools.

    How to access the System Recovery Options menu?

    Method 2:

    Step 1:

    Set the first boot device in the DVD in BIOS to boot from the Windows Installation DVD. To do this, see the documentation that came with the computer.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Some applications Windows 8 will not be open and constantly return to the start screen

    Some Windows 8 applications (calendar, Photos, Messenger, etc.) do not open and return to the start screen. I updated the computer, so the apps worked during this session.  However, after that I disconnected and re-connected to the laptop the next day, the same apps stopped working again.  This continues that occur on a regular basis.  How to solve definitively the problem?

    Note: I noticed that others have this same problem, and I tried the troubleshooting suggestions (i.e., to download the troubleshooter of the modern user interface, cache cleanup, etc.), but none of these suggestions has definitely solved the problem.  I bought my new laptop two months ago and have been facing this problem since.  I want a permanent solution.
