  • How can I disable these very annoying keys mapped to the F keys. I want normal F keys!

    I play a little my surprise (for me) 4 Gig HP Pvillion g6 powerful i3 laptop (W7 64-bit, integrated :() graphics I am more than happy with it.) HOWEVER! There is one thing that finally pushed now a few minutes ago, and it's shortcut keys of STUPID pre mapped keys f. WHY have buttons F have F BUTTONS DON'T WORK? It is causing me a lot of stress in the world of the imaginary game that I often live and we cannot have just that. Rant on (not a real favorite hangover that I promise you! Just a little Catharsis) Please help oh ye enlightened internet folk!

    EDIT: I should have clarified that I mean keys F # but I have faith in your intelligence to help a friend. Overcome my simple ignorance, and bring me the knowledge of the ancients! Can do you so soon? I wan't to play Far Cry 3 without a hitch

    Seems that HP has made these keys just active in them pressed (nowhere did he clear how long this interval is).
    BUT (and now comes the good news), they can be disabled in the BIOS so that they operate strictly as keys 'F' (page 38):
    "An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the f1 through f4 and f6 keys
    by f12 keys shows the function assigned to this key.
    To use a function key to action, press in and hold the key.
    The main feature of the action is enabled in the factory. You can disable this feature in the configuration utility (BIOS).
    See Using Configuration Utility (BIOS) and the system on page 68 Diagnostics for instructions on opening
    Setup Utility (BIOS) and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen. »

    Then, after it is disabled in the BIOS, they only work as 'special' according to Mr. Clement keys, pressing the Fn key in combination with her:
    "To enable the function assigned after deactivation of the key feature of the action, you must press the fn key in.
    combination with the appropriate action button. »

    Here is a link to the manual for more information:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03271200.PDF>

    If you still have a problem with her due to the proximity of the Fn key, then I believe that you can turn it off completely by stopping HP Quick Launch in the Task Manager. Test it offline before game to ensure that the judgment it does not affect other functions of the keyboard that you need.
    Game on, my friend!

  • How can I disable the 'Open with' window that appears whenever I start?

    My desktop pc using Windows 7 Home Premium. For years, I want to start with nothing default opening. Each time, the choice of what to open were made manually by me.

    For some reason that I don't understand, one day after start-up, this 'Open with' window appears. Under "Choose the program you want to use to open this file," the indicated file was my name. (I replaced the one here with the word "Me.")

    I never asked this window will open after startup. It appeared for the first time without having done me anything. I do not think that I have all the files with my first name only, so I closed the window and ignored.

    But the window open whenever I start. Don't need or want to be, I keep closing and ignore him.

    Soon, not one, but two of the pop-up appeared. Then THREE.

    For several years, the three windows double as above appeared whenever I start.

    Don't know how or why it began. Don't know which program is causing it. Don't know how to stop it.

    Anyone recognize this window? Do you know which program is causing it to appear after startup? Do you know how to disable? Is there a trick to disable three of them?

    (1) is the window 'Open with' above now a default pop-up window after startup that cannot be disabled without the registry editor?

    No, the "open with" isn't a local default value.  You see it because something - probably malware - tried to configure your computer to start a process at startup time.  Windows, however, does not recognize the name of the process (i.e. the file name) as an executable program so it asks you to specify which program to use to open the file.

    No, you don't need to manually edit the registry to resolve this problem.

    (2) there is no program in Control Panel I can open that has a simple toggle to turn it on or off?

    No, there is no program in Control Panel you can use to solve this problem.

    Here's how fix you the problem.

    A. the easy way (doesn't unless you are very lucky)

    • Click the start ORB, all programs and then scroll down until you find "Startup" and click on it.
    • If you see that anything that gets filed that you do not want to start when you log on to "Start", right click and delete.
    • If you do not know what the items listed and are reluctant to delete something you don't understand not (a very good policy to follow), list all the elements in your next reply and someone here will try to advise you.

    B. the way a little harder (that almost always works)

    • Download here Autoruns.zip (this course is that you download from a Microsoft web site)--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    • Right-click on the downloaded file and select "extract all".
    • Go to the folder where the extracted files are located (this should have been opened for you by default), and then double-click on autoruns.exe
    • Wait until the program has finished scanning (look at the bottom left corner) and then select the 'connection '.
    • Look in the column titled 'Image path' for a line that includes whatever it is that appeared as the 'file' in the original pop-up window.
    • If you find a line with the same name in there, uncheck the box at the left end of the line, close Autoruns and restart your computer.
      • If the ToolTip no longer displayed, you can (a) do nothing do or Autoruns (b) re - run, find the line you're not controlled and right click > delete it.
    • If you cannot find a line with the name you're looking for...
      • Click on the "all" tab
      • Click file, and then click search, then enter the name and click "next".
        1. If a line is found, right click and select 'copy '.
        2. Paste the line in your next reply here
        3. Press F3 to find the next instance and repeat steps 1 and 2 until no more bodies are found (if there are several rows, you can open a Notepad window and paste the lines temporarily here)
        4. If you are reluctant to publish anything with your name in it, change the lines to replace your name
  • How can I disable AutoScroll frustrating in Windows 7?

    How can I disable AutoScroll frustrating in Windows 7?  Whenever I try to type, or even move the pointer - the scroll bar active!

    From this study, it seems that the touchpad is extremely sensitive.

    Laptops also used to have built in the scroll bars on the bottom and the right side of the touchpads.  I have not seen one in a while and don't know if they start this new practice.

    If you are talking about just the cursor (arrow) on the screen by moving when you press the mouse button (which is integrated in the touchpad) the only real solution is component to the bottom of the sensitivity of the touchpad via Control Panel and learn to control the touchpad without accidental clicks.  I have a wireless entertainment 7000 microsoft keyboard that has sensitive functions of touch as a touchpad, and it may have a bit of a learning curve if you're used to buttons.  Not be your fingers anywhere which is touch sensitive with release of trigger.

    I suggest to get a USB mouse in option (they can be picked up cheap at any retailer important) because they offer better control everything by being better for you ergonomic that are the standard touchpads.

  • How can I disable the firewall of windows for FPGA

    I tried to compile an FPGA vi. Towards the end of compilation, asked me if I wanted to disable something in the windows firewall (probably to allow for communication between my computer and my PXI-7854R). At the time, I had no administrative privilege and couldn't do anything but cancel this request. Of course, nothing that I compiles now runs. How to get back to the point where I can disable the firewall?

  • How can I disable automatic updates in Windows 7?

    I need to install the updates myself, I hate it when the window keep saying he must reboot for updates.

    Microsoft Update product team blog: Windows Update and automatic reboots

    Change how Windows installs or notifies you of updates

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

  • How can I disable completely sync in Windows Media Player?

    Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, Windows Media Player comes and asks for sync, sometimes resulting in the device not being recognized, so I can't copy files to the phone without having to shut down WMP and reconnect my phone to my computer. This means that I can't enjoy my music and plug my phone at the same time.

    Now, I've seen some answers out there, but they don't really solve my problem. What I want is WMP never synchronize or ask to sync every time I connect a new device, because even if I have to turn off sync for my phone if I then try to plug in my flash drive it ask for synchronization.

    What I want is that the option sync completely disabled for each device, I could connect to the future, not a simple temporary fix. If there is none I'll switch to a different media player.

    I don't don't need or even care for automatic playback. This may help someone, it worked for me, although minimal testing just by using USB flash drives. BTW I use WMP 12 in Windows 7 Pro.

    In the Panel--> view by: small icons--> AutoPlay--> I changed ALL media options and the device of "Non-action" and strangely enough, I kept the check mark for "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices" and now what to open, play, or even synchronize the decisions are totally up to me.
