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.

Have you tried windows system restore?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hot keyboard shortcuts no longer work

    Hello, I use Photoshop CS6 often for digital painting. Gradually in the course of the last year and a half since I bought all of the creative suite, I met more small problems. The most obvious is the loss of some hot keys - mainly the keys to support commands.

    The keys to support stops responding after only a few seconds of painting. But I can't make them work again if I mount my cursor and click on an empty space on the toolbar. However, immediately as I still paint on the canvas they date back to be non-responsive.

    Really, it disrupts my workflow and is incredibly frustrating. I run on a Mac, now with Didier (the problem before the software update) and a Wacom Intuos 5 environment.

    Thank you.

    Install the plug-in white window will get the shortcuts work as expected

    You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have Vista DVD you can do however make sure to
    totally your data off the drive of backup, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you do not
    Disks of Vista, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't care about existing programs
    Then you can make a complete new installation - just select the format options that erases the entire disc (this
    Clears all data as well).

    Some system manufacturers use Partitions recovery and other methods to allow you to go back to a
    completely new facility. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options you must do
    - and it's certainly doable - just a question of the process the manufacturer of the system set in place to
    you.

  • Zoom shortcut no longer works in Photoshop CC?

    Command-bar spacing & Option + command + SPACEBAR doesn't work when the hand tool is active... It is used to do at any time. Does anyone else have this problem? I saw people having this issue up to 2011, but none of the "fixes" have worked for me.

    I just transferred everything from my old macbook pro (where it worked fine) to a 27 "new iMac. I use a (NON-BLUETOOTH keyboard and razor WIRED mouse) which is what I used with the macbook pro. I have also uninstalled/installed PSCC and IllustratorCC. BTW, it does not work in Illustrator.

    OK, I fixed it. The iMac wasn't properly grateful for my keyboard... I guess that was the origin of the problem. Use a Bluetooth keyboard and trashed the old bluetooth profile and paired with the imac again and everything is good. Thanks to all of you for help.

    After inspection, everything moves, except that I have to close and reopen the file window to display all changes and I have to log off and turn it back on to see any Exchange Office.

    Hi Colton

    It resembles a kind of refresh issue?

    The next time you move a file and see this problem, try pressing the F5 (refresh) to see if this solves the problem.
