Keyboard required Information.

I've been using since before PC that Microsoft was a business and everyone I've ever used has function keys at the top of the keyboard requiring a finger operation.

Now, I bought a HP laptop, also with the function keys on the top of the keyboard, but to exploit these requires an operation of two fingers and hands, the "fn" key must be held down with a left finger and pressed with a finger of the right function key.

I find it hard to believe that HP could have really done anything this stupid and it occurred to me that I can do something wrong, so would like some comments on what follows.

I am correct in this method of operation, or I do something wrong?

Thank you very much.

Hello

You can change this behavior as follows.

Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select the Bios (usually f10 ) option, and then change the figure in the document at the following link.

    This morning, I tried to start Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro, and I get the following text appears on the screen: -.

    ----------------------------------
    Windows Boot Manager

    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".

    If you do not have the disk, contact your manufactuer of computer or the system administrator.

    Info: The Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information

    -----
    ENTER = continue ESC = exit

    I found something similar on the Microsoft KnowledgeBase (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391), but according to the Windows Vista boot, all the proposed solutions require the installation of Vista media and I have just the recovery CD Toshiba base.

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Recovery CD, if I select "English (Windows Vista)" in the menu and go to the settings, the only selectable option is a scroll bar to choose what size I want to partition - for the option "Expert Mode: retrieves WinRE and the OS for the readers of the FIRST installation of TOSHIBA without affecting additional data disc" is grayed out.

    All I can do with the Toshiba Recovery CD is format the drive and lose all my data.

    I have a USB enclosure external that I put the disc in, and I have an XP machine that I can plug it in, then might be able to backup the drive but really the best option would be a way to fix rather than formatting.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be repaired without the CD of Installation of Vista? Thanks in advance :)

    The Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as the Microsoft Vista disc!
    Recovery disk contains an image that will not be able to repair your computer.

    The error message indicates that the Boot Manager is damaged or it s damage and you will need to boot from the ORIGINAL Microsoft vista DVD to repair it.

    If you don t have such a MS Vista DVD then I n t see chances to repair the operating system.
    So in this case, you need to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.

    By the way; What happens if you press F8, immediately after the laptop has been started?

  • I want to scan a form and be able to type the required information

    want to scan meducal form and be able to type the required information

    Buy a scanner and the software that allows you to do this?

    Really - I'm not being sarcastic - but Windows XP does not natively any real OCR functionality or features of form design, etc.  I warn you - even if you do not get a software that will do something in the sense of what you want - for the most part - it will eventually be a manual process.  I have not found a software that works 100% when it comes to such things.  OmniPage did things like that for years and even, as he got, requires a fairly manual effort to correct the errors, egt shape and form fields just right--that if there is a single thing - it may not be worth the purchase.

  • Satellite S70 - A - 11 H - new keyboard required

    Hi did anyone know where I can get an original spec keyboard for my laptop which is a Satellite of S70 - A - 11 H?

    It costs about £700 and is less than 12 months old, one of the key broke and Toshiba it will cover not under warranty!

    It has not been used as much as ben connected to a separate keyboard, it has not been used or omitted but I have been informed by the customer support they'll probably want to make a charge for the repair of £100 if you include the delivery of the work a VAT!

    Anyone know where I can get an original spec keyboard for my laptop which is a Satellite of S70 - A - 11 H?

    You can get this part from the local Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
    But the laptop was equipped with an A4 + 10key standard tile black keyboard with backlight

    If the ASP is not an option for you, probably you would get this keyboard also some independent dealers online
    Ask google and search using the terms: S70-A Satellite keyboard

    Yesterday, I downloaded Windows 8, and although using it was confusing I got the hang of it. Today, I used the computer again and everything was fine but then I stopped him and a few hours later, when I turned it on a blue screen appeared and he says:

    For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

    With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.

  • Holding Down key shift key while playing WoW on Vista crashes my keyboard, requiring a restart until I can do anything.

    Maybe this is associated with intellitype. The problem has changed for the worse:

    OLD PROBLEM: I hold down the SHIFT key and automatically be alt-tabs of WoW to any dialogue you wanted to know about my now shift. I would have to alt - tab in WoW, which is a problem when you are healing during a raid.

    SO: The dialog box had a link with some options as to when to do something special in the SHIFT key. I unchecked all. I don't remember the details of the dialog box, but I thought it was IntelliSomething. I don't know how to take revenge on this dialog box.

    NEW PROBLEM: Now when I hold the SHIFT key for a long time in WoW, my keyboard doesn't work. I hear a 'click' when using any key, but nothing works. ALT-tab will not work, because those keys. When I close WoW via the mouse, the keyboard is always watered, I can't use any program. Restart resolves the issue until the next time.

    BTW: In World of Warcraft, hold down the SHIFT key during the inspection of a piece of equipment compared to the equipment you are wearing at the time. If you do this a lot.

  • Dell Latitude Tablet: Error Code: 0xc0000034 in Windows 8 - data file for Boot Configuration missing required information

    Hello

    I compressed latitude 10 Dell with Windows 8 and the Intel Atom processor.

    After hibernation, when I tried to start the Tablet, I received this error message only after no previous problems for the last 15 months.

    It is said to use the Windows installation disc or a USB stick, which are not provided with the tablet. I don't even have the windows product key, because, as directed by Dell, the key is injected into the Tablet, and if necessary to check, it's done automatically.

    The system had all the recent updates and was fully charged when this happened.

    Please advice any option to solve this problem. Help, please.

    Ross

    Hey Ross,

    This error may be fixed by the repair or reconstruction of the Data of Configuration startup (BCD) store. However, this can be done with the help of installation of Windows 8 media.

    Here we have an OEM of Windows 8 pre-installed on your Dell Latitude 10 Tablet version. So, we have not the installation of Windows 8 media or product key. The best approach to work on this issue is therefore, contact Dell Technical Support for assistance.

    You can get in touch with Technical Support from Dell from the link below:

  • Key signature required information

    Hi all

    I'm working on BlackBerry. I have not much idea about signing keys.

    I fill out the form and pay 20USD for Signature keys. Hope they will send in a few days.

    In fact, I work as a team so we all members of the team can use signature keys on our systems.

    or must be purchased separately for each. and how many times I can assign to applications.

    Thanks for your replies.

    as far as I know, they are limited to a single machine (by license, and not by the system).

    If you sign all on this machine, it should be good, but I suggest that you read the license agreement.

  • Default wireless keyboard fn key

    I just got a new HP Omni-27 (Windows 7 64-bit) desktop that comes with a keyboard wireless KG-1162.  The problem is that the status of the function keys fn is reversed from what it should be.  For example, the f10 key reduces the brightness of the screen rather than send a f10 code to the application, and fn + f10 sends a code f10 instead of dimming display.  This makes the keyboard extremely frustrating when you try to use applications that make heavy use of function keys, such as MS Office products and developer IDEs.  Another example is the interactive games that require the use of the function keys, but you rarely have a free extra finger also hold down the fn key.  It is analogous to trying to use a keyboard that is not a caps lock key, but always acts as if shift caps lock was on.  Several keyboards that I use as part of a day, it's the only one who acts in this way.  I would really like to find a way to solve this problem, before you throw this keyboard and buy one that works as it should.  Here is what I tried and learned so far:

    • The references very little, I was able to find in a Google search, that is to suggest things that don't work, or suggest that it is a problem of provider.
    • A conversation with HP support did not help.
    • I checked that no HP wireless keyboard connected to a computer not HP laptop running Windows 7 is correctly.
    • I checked that a USB keyboard plugged into my PC works correctly.
    • My previous HP PC with another keyboard HP wireless Vista worked properly, while he lived.

    My conclusion is that the problem is probably related to the driver for this particular model of wireless keyboard.  Can anyone help with a solution (other than to throw him out and use one that works correctly)?

    [Updated to add more recent information from the keyboard manual].

    The f1 through f11 keys do or multimedia keys, standard function keys. The default value is multimedia.

    To switch multimedia on the standard function, press fn + esc keys simultaneously. This locks the standard function keys. To switch back to standard feature of multimedia press, the fn + esc keys simultaneously again.

    Pressing the fn key at the same time with a f1 to the f11 key, performs the standard function.

    Press fn + fx at startup of the system to use the function keys to access and use the features of the BIOS (for example, the boot or system recovery Menu).

    If the keyboard and mouse do not respond, refer to the mouse and keyboard wireless information located with your other product troubleshooting documents.

    For a better battery performance and mouse, avoid using your mouse on a dark or shiny surface and turn the mouse off the power when you do not use.
