I need to disable all skills specific to HP function keys

I have a HP Pavilion G7 - 2551dx with Windows 8.

I want to disable all the functions specific to the HP keyboard function key. -F1 to F12 functions.  I don't need or want Ttout of them and in fact, they are just shortcuts to make things I already do through other means. His airplane mode, brightness, etc - I don't want one of these functions mapped to my function keys.

How do I with this model?

I have a 3 year Compaq, and it was an application that gave the PC these functions. I could disable all these features to uninstall this application.  I can't find such an application on this computer Pavilion G7. Rather, these functions are software controlled, they are activated in another way. The specific features of the HP gets in my way, because I accidentialy press these keys by mistake. They get in the way of games and other applications that map with the function keys. I have to be able to completely disable these functions as I have in the past with my Compaq.

How can I do this?

The link above says this:

"On most of HP and Compaq computers laptops, it is necessary press the function (fn) key while pressing one of the f1 through f12 keys to activate the features by default; as for example increase or decrease the brightness of the screen, the sound volume, sleep, keyboard lock, etc... On computers laptops HP Envy and other laptops with Advanced BIOS, the function keys options can be configured so that it is not necessary to press and hold down the fn key. »

It worked for my problem BUT I almost didn't try because it is very misleading and very badly written.

You see, it has never been necessary for me to hold and press the Fn button to use the default function keys (so why would I need to use the option above as written - I wouldn't). This makes you only believe that it turns on or off the ability to use the function keys to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 to 12 function keys - and not the function keys do not work. That would have helped me.

In reality, what it does, is change the function of these keys depending on whether you use the Fn key at the same time with the 1 through 12 keys or not. It acts as a switch allowing only the multimedia type function keys work if you press the Fn key first. I had to tell him to use the Fn key in conjunction with the 1 through 12 keys. In this mode when the keys functioned are affected without using the Fn key, they act like normal multimedia type function keys, no.

(These types of key functions multimedia were introduced for multimedia keyboards a few years ago. They added extra functionality that I needed off. They were never the standard functions for the function keys on the keyboards. Recently, desktop computers and laptos started to add these functions to the keyboard by default.)

It's a good thing I played a bit with it to know because that is never written these things must be fired and replaced by someone who can explain all the s and outs of a much better task. It's very badly written garbage. It omits important information people need to know what actually makes the function under a permit and mobility.

Thank you.

In the game, I discovered that all of the F buttons work without pressing FN, which is annoying. So although I am tyring to combat various things I'll always turn down the brightness and turn off the wireless so if I could know how to swap it around, so when I press FN I can turn down brightness etc that would mean I could now use the F buttons normally any help would be nice thank YOU!

    Im a mmo player and I bought a netbook to play on the soe of my lower bits games go, problem is a lot of my MMO want me to use the function keys (e.g. f11) for abilities and such. I can't change the settings in the game, so I was wondering if there was a way to disable the shortcuts located on the function keys hp, so I must not continue to use the function + FN to use alternates.

    Ex I use f1 to do a skill, but it opens on the hp help guide me kicked out of my game. Or I use f2 and it turns my brightness down, to remedy this that I use FN + function to use the true definition of the actual function. Is it possible that I can do my function keys replacing my primary?

  • I made the mistake of disabling all my USB ports in Device Manager! Keyboard & mouse do not work. I need to restore the Sys - HELP!

    I made the mistake to disable all my USB ports in the device (Windows XP Home Edition) my mouse Manager and the keyboard works not because they are connected through USB ports. I need to find a way to get to the system restore through the Mode without failure or normal startup. Can someone please help!

    Hi PaulCanik,

    • Do you use your laptop or desktop computer?

    Check if keyboard works in basic input/output system (BIOS), if it works, then you will need to enable USB port from there.

    You will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer to aid in the basic input/output system (BIOS).

    If this does not help then you need to connect PS\2 mouse and activate later all USB ports on the computer.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor 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.

  • Compatibility issue: need help disabling features - URGENT!

    I have a problem with running Pro Tools 8.0.4 THE on my HP Pavilion dv7, which meets a DAE-6006 error when loading Pro Tools. Research indicates that this error is for connecting firewire somehow, and I'm able to use Pro Tools on this system with a different interface (there as only two mic inputs) that allows me to connect via USB.

    Also, when I run ProTools via USB, it seems that I can't use the Quick Punch feature without a minimum of 10 seconds (usually much more) a delayed response after pressing the button reading or recording!

    I've been emailing latest Pro Tools support back and forth daily for 10 days now, and in the email, they said:

    "This could be a problem of incompatibility. HP Pavilion dv7 laptop computer has not been tested by our test team headquarters United States
    and not officially supported.

    As you have found by yourself, each before PC manufacturing installs their own features and (TV tuner) and the program in
    Operating system Windows, the motherboard and BIOS. They work differently for Pro Tools and sometimes conflict. This is why we cannot support these PCs, we have not tested.

    Please turn off all extra functions by HP from the BIOS. Please ask HP support how to. »

    Therefore, I request assistance with disabling all unnecessary services and process on my HP laptop. I guess the TV tuner is not a necessary service, but I have no idea on most of the others, and of course, I don't want to disable something that is necessary.

    If you could help me ASAP I would really, appreciate that I need to move to the record of any emergency! Thank you.

    UPDATE:

    I have also been informed by support for Pro Tools if I add a FireWire card with chip Texas Instrument FireWire supported on my computer, it can solve the problem. When I asked how to do this, they responded:

    "If your PC has Express Card slot,

  • Disable all of the traffic on the HBA

    Hi all

    I have to completely disable all of the traffic to an HBA on my 20 ESXi servers. I have a list of WWN that should be blocked. My IBM servers each has 4 cards HBAS (Qlogic ISP2432) with interfaces 2fc on each, so infact I have a disable for specific with two HBAS paths but I have no idea how.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Visit my blog

    www.vmwaremine.com

    OK, I think I see what you mean.

    You want to offer the WWN of the HBA (s), and then clear all paths of the LUN running on this HBA.

    First of all, this little script will list the device and the WWN for all CF cards.

    $esxName = 
    
    $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName | Get-View
    
    $report = @()
    
    $esx.Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostFibreChannelHba"} | %{
         $row = "" | Select Device, WWN
         $row.Device = $_.Device
         $row.WWN = "{0:x}" -f $_.PortWorldWideName
         $report += $row
    }
    $report
    

    With this report, you should be able to extract values WWN, you need.

    The following script then disables all paths that cross this HBA adapter.

    $esxName = 
    
    $tgtPaths = @("2100001b2312ac9e","2101001b2312ac9e")
    
    $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName | Get-View
    $hstorMgmt = Get-View $esx.ConfigManager.StorageSystem
    
    $hbaKeys = @()
    # Get the key(s) of the HBA(s)
    $esx.Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | where{$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostFibreChannelHba"} | %{
         $WWN = "{0:x}" -f $_.PortWorldWideName
         if($tgtPaths -contains $WWN){
              $hbaKeys += $_.Key
         }
    }
    
    # Disbale all paths that run through the HBA(s)
    foreach($lun in $esx.Config.StorageDevice.MultipathInfo.Lun){
         foreach($path in $lun.Path){
              if($hbaKeys -contains $path.Adapter){
                   $hstorMgmt.DisableMultipathPath($path.Name)
              }
         }
    }
    

    I hope that it resembles more what you wanted to do?

  • Cap5 need to disable bookmarking but not as simple as it sounds

    Hi, we really need someone help because I'm out of ideas.

    We use Oracle LMS and Cap5 using SCORM1.2 author.  The problem is the following:

    1: we report our LMS main HTM file on our Web site

    2: republish us files direct to our website

    3: our Cap5 settings are for bookmarking

    4: when republish us our Cap5 files after editing inevitably some of our users (we have about 7 000) are to halfway through the learning object we have just updated.

    5: when they re-connect and try to go to the learning object they were trying to finish (one we just edited)-it crashes just on loading.  If they have not yet made this object, all right, if they have already done, all right.

    My question is: first of all, is the hanging because of the recovery/bookmarking and second, what can I do about it?

    I am very happy disable bookmarking (each presentation e-learning is some 50 slides) but that republishing this will solve the problem or what I need to change all the HTM files?  I do not yet know where bookmarking is stored (is it on our national LMS?), if so, there's these users totally exhausted and we have their renewal?

    Any guidance would be appreciated,

    Bill

    PS We are a hospital National Health Service in the United Kingdom then your help would help a lot of people

    First of all, your process seems very strange. Maybe it's just how Oracle LMS works... but in all LMS products, I've worked with (except Blackboard) and according to the SCORM specification, you should download the 'lessons' to your LMS as .zip files (technically, the "pif" files, but .zip is the only type of "pif", I saw)... not the LMS of pointing to a HTML file on your website and not publish the lessons directly to your Web site...

    But maybe it's a tangent...

    I could see where the republication of the lessons could cause a problem. If CP stored specific information about the progress of user on version 1 of the lesson, the lesson is republished and that information has changed (i.e. 'user is out on slide 15', but the new lesson has only 14 blades), then we understand why the lesson is to have bad back - user "suspend_data" being pulled from the LMS can no longer apply to the lesson has been published in some respect.

    THEN disabling bookmarking might work... However, the LMS already has given progression of this user and if she turns this (suspended) progress data back to the lesson, when he took over, then it may well not important that the new lesson at bookmarking disabled - LMS will put these data rear suspension in all case. Affect only no bookmarking can have is when the user closes this new lesson, THEN the lesson CP will not send data will remind the LMS (ideally)... then when this lesson is launched * new *, should not resume.

    The BEST approach may be either:

    1 reset the inscriptions of users in the lesson, you have changed. How you do that depends on the LMS. On ours, I ran a report on users who have not completed the lesson and reset specific users so that their status is 'not started' instead of 'in progress '. In this way when they launch the lesson, it's going should be like if they get started for the first time.

    2. you can configure a new lesson and disapproves of the old... so all users that need to launch the lesson (be it for the first time or not) must begin the new lesson and may not raise the former, which is essentially from as well. How you do this, however, and here again, depends on what can make your LMS.

  • Need to disable acceleration hardware and smooth scrolling for users on a Remote Desktop Session.

    Hello
    I need to disable acceleration hardware and smooth scrolling for any user that connects to an RDS Server. I messed up the mozilla.cfg and created an autoconfig.js file. I guess I'm missing something along the way.

    This is currently my autoconfig.js
    Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    Pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 1);
    Pref ("app.update.channel", "liberation");

    Mozilla.cfg
    Smooth Scrolling disabled
    lockpref ("general.smoothScroll.disabled", true);
    disables hardware acceleration
    lockPref ("layers.acceleration.disabled", true);
    lockPref ("gfx.direct2d.disabled", true);

    All that I'm missing? When I restart the two options are always checked in the options.

    Thank you!!

    Hi b1gt3x, you use a clear cfg file, you'll want to put this in your instead of autoconfig.js:

    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    

    In addition, you will have to make lockPref with a capital P in any case - that it reacts very sensitive to spelling errors...
