In my view, the shortcut keys are enabled on my laptop.

If I try other things, type something.  For example, if I press the 'l' key, my computer off & I sign again.  If I hit the "s" key, a box will open; If I try to type "who" I am only able to type 'w' & then nothing happens.  I press certain keys & other things to happen.  In my view, "short cuts" is on, but I don't know how to turn it off.  Help, please.

Hello

There is no shortcuts that I'm familiar with that results in what you see with the keys (in combination with the ctrl/alt/win keys). I am more inclined to think that your keyboard is damaged or that a key is stuck.

If possible, I would try to plugged a USB keyboard on the system and see if it behaves correctly. If so, then you will have the laptop brought to a technician to have the existing card replaced. Consult the manufacturer if it is under warranty.

Keyboard shortcuts are enabled in the Control Panel/ease of Access center in facilitating the use if you want to look at the keyboard. Your symptoms do not match the expected behavior, so this may not resolve your problem.

  • Execution of the script using the shortcut key will launch the ExtendScipt Toolkit.

    Run the script by using the shortcut key assign will launch the ExtendScipt Toolkit in a machine.

    Maybe not the Script because it works normally if a double-click is used to run instead.

    Another idea?

    What shortcuts are you trying to use? If they include the shift or Alt/Option keys, then ESTK is raised to the top because it is this that these keys if you hold either button down on launching a script.

    I put t know which unit you use, but you should check the application of Toshiba control buttons that could be installed on your laptop.
    You should find it in the control panel

    This application could allow lets you configure the control buttons.

  • Update the BIOS of the consequences on the shortcut keys?

    Hello

    I sent my computer to Lenovo for repair, and he said on the form that the BIOS has also been updated. Now, I find that the shortcut keys do not work, so I can't change the volume/brightness etc by using the function keys. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you

    GSF

    GSF,

    Do you need to make updates at all, or did the reboot take care of things? (It's funny how sometimes a reboot will be just clarifying). I guess that your SEO in UEFI with the correct prompt by default/Legacy? You will need to enter in the BIOS for these amendments, which may be different from your previous version of BIOS and the current.

    Whatever it is, it is great to hear that you have things facing up and running again. Thanks for being a part of the FRG of Lenovo community!

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.
