  • Frepeat of Maj keydown is 1 rather than 0. SHIFT and ctr get ignored.

    Recently I tried to go back and play games that I've not played in a while (maybe a few months) but I can not use the
    keys Ctrl or shift (L and R). It seems that the game engine ignores the keys to repeat.
    I'm out spy ++ and checked the messages that are sent and I found that do not produce the shift and ctrl keys

    an initial 0 repeat key leading to the game engine does not pick up the keydown event.

    Here's a quick little log of what spy records ++.

  • Keys to stop functioning (Alt, Shift, space)

    On three separate Macs at different places in the past months, this problem continues to arise in Illustrator CS4.

    Alt, Shift and space modifier keys stop working. So no proportional don't resize, no navigation of the hand tool with the space bar, no duplication Alt + click, etc. Illustrator reboot only the fixed, and restarting the computer doesn't temporarily, sometimes only for a few minutes.

    Other applications ARE affected; When I tried to type in TextEdit, during a recent episode of Pepin, the Alt key would not work here either. However, the problem still seems to be for me when working in Illustrator CS4. Of course, it is not own a computer or even a user's preferences. But the problem has become so bad that recently, he has really hampered my work.

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Do you have any processes running in the background who hold an open port on the internet as a VPN, a planner who makes timed data calls or something similar? Mac OS allows you to block the use of the modifier keys when there is a risk that malware can use to make calls System silently in the background. Try to open the activity monitor application and see what is running. Then try to kill the apps and repeat the test.

  • Crazy Safari, I can't press 'shift' and press 'h' together

    Hello everyone,

    I really try the search response, but it seems that no one have the same problem as me. As noted on my subject on the safari version 9.1.1, version OS X El Capitan 10.11.5, every time I want to press 'shift' and 'h' key together it seems that my tab all disappear and I go to the apple.com website. I have also tried using chrome to do the same thing but doesn't seem to have any problem, so I think the problem is the safari itself. The problem persists after that I updated my OS X.  Oh and I tried to use app to remove the malware or adware, but it does not detect anything.

    It was very long and I don't notice really this problem a lot because I don't really use uppercase ' h' on my tongue, but it still bothers me.

    Someone knows about this problem and maybe help me. I have a video that would prove it.

    I'm so frustrated and I wanted to reinstall my OS X, but unfortunately my internet is so slow and have to wait like 14 hours...

    Link to the video I mentioned:

    Hello
    I found the place where exactly this may be small :).

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
    "Hotkey" = "1".
    'Language Hotkey' = '3 '.
    'Shortcut page layout' = '2 '.

    Change the value of "Language Hotkey" accordingly.

    1 sequence of button enabled; Use Left ALT + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    2 key activated sequence; Use CTRL + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    3 invalid key sequences.
    4 If the default locale is Thai, the grave accent key activates / deactivates the input locale. otherwise the keystrokes are disabled.

    Another problem is that it sits under HKCU as well, same as if I pack this setting with MSI, it won't have a any use to me. Since then, installation is done using MSI localadmin account and HKCU is associated with the current session. If a new user who connects to this settting does not apply, and even if it rises "access denied" :(

    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
    Thank you.

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    above is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.

  • Direct selection + alt + shift bug

    Hello. For a long time - I mean, 17 or 18 years, I've been using Illustrator to do many things. But the recent update makes it very irritable on a same level of basic, and I guess it could be a feature, but it looks more like a bug to me.

    So the problem goes like this: when you're working with, say, multiple divided recently objects and you need to select some of them with real care - you use the direct Selection tool. So, in order to select them in full, you add the 'alt' key and obviously add one by one, you add 'shift '. And when you add 'shift', all the points disappear suddenly. The paths are always chosen, no problem; but now, it's really difficult to distinguish which ones which is already selected, and which are not.

    So, you keep selecting and pressing/UN-pressing the SHIFT key pressed, in order to ensure that you always make the right choice.

    I dug in AI prefs, I read everything that Google and Adobe forums combined was for me about this, but I guess that's my only chance to get a real answer.

    You are right about what is happening, but this isn't a bug. It's intentional. Supposedly, it is to "clean the Visual interface", but as you say for a long time user, it is very difficult to get used to.

I can nothing at all, but display the homepage fullscreen! The only option I have is to hit CTRL-alt-del and close Firefox.
