  You can try to connect an external keyboard and check if the same thing happens on this as well. You may need to change the configuration of the keyboard and check if that helps, follow the link given below to do the same.

• What is the shortcut keys to switch the display type in Windows Explorer

  To change a folder in Details view in Windows 7, I hit Alt->-> D V. This does not work in Windows 8 because the active / disables the details pane rather than switch the display type. There is that no letters hung over the types of display (icons, list, details, etc.), seeming to imply there is no keyboard shortcut to change the display.

  Am I missing something, or is there really no shortcuts for this in Windows 8?

• System restore calendar is empty, cannot set new points and cannot use Windows help.

  Original title: registry problem affecting system restore etc.

  The system restore calendar is empty, I can't put new points, and I can't use Windows help because I can not type in the dialog box. If the problem is described in the doc #313853, the solution he proposed did not. Defeating my cleanups registry also seems not to help. Any suggestions?

  To all of you who have tried to help me with this problem, I recently came across a solution - I had to reinstall Internet Explorer, which I think had been compromised by my registry cleaner. I never use, so it didn't occur to me that there is something wrong with it. But that seems to have fixed all the problems.

• HP Pavilion 550-127C: HP is KU-0316 keyboard compatible with Windows 10?

  Just bought a new HP Pavilion 550-127C desktop computer, but I hate the keyboard that comes with it.

  My old Gateway keyboard will not work with it.  I love KU-0316 keyboard of HP but can't find it in the store and do not want to order unless I know it will work.

  If not this one, which will make?  (which is easy to use Delete and Backspace keys and keypad digital)

  Hello TxCalico,

  When you say 'old keyboard gateway", which was not working because it was wired as a PS2 and not USB?

  There are adapters available PS2 USB if you were really want work-specific keyboard.

  The KU-0316 is just a basic USB keyboard and should work just fine as would any other USB keyboard.

  There is no special driver related to keyboards USB and Windows 10, unless the specific keyboard had special hot keys that depend on the software prior to use.

  Hope that helps.

• Windows Help window keeps popping up

  No apparent reason, the Windows Help window is open without asking whenever I try to enter the information in Word, the e-mail program, etc..  It is very difficult to use these programs (I basically have to close the Help window after each keystroke to enter the following key sequence).  I can't find any help in the documentation of Windows Vista.  Please help me solve this problem!

  I finally found a solution!

  You can completely disable Windows XP search for a single user.  If you just want to do it for the current user, follow these steps:

  ===========
  1. Select run from the start menu.
  2. Type "cmd" and press ENTER.
  3. Type "reg Export HKU backup.reg" and press ENTER.
  4. Type "reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFind /t REG_DWORD /d 1" and press ENTER.
  5. closure of the session and log in.
  ===========

  You'll notice that you can't find any options to search anywhere in Windows, after you follow these steps.  However, it is only good for the current user.  If you want to do this for each user, you must follow these steps for each user listed in the hive HKEY_USERS (include. BY DEFAULT).  You can find these users by typing "reg Query HKU" and pressing Enter.  You can ignore all of the Scriptures that end in '_Classes', but for each other, replace "HKCU" in step 4 with 'HKU\ '. By DEFAULT' (replace. By DEFAULT, with the user, as required).

• Disable the Dvorak keyboard type option left?

  I use an HP with Vista Home Premium, SP2 computer.

  I had a nephew to use my computer for a while and he installed the Dvorak keyboard type option left just to see what it was. Now, we cannot uninstall or disable it.  We went through the steps in linguistic environment several times and for each user on the computer (there are 2 more guest account, where the power is off). HOWEVER, the Dvorak option appears on the default login screen and I am required to change the layout of EVERY single time that I connect. It's maddening!  Is there something beyond delete language option and the keyboard that can solve this problem?  How can it be so simple to install this option, but it is almost impossible to get rid of?

  I even bought another keyboard (USB) and let that settle at the start, but the default Dvorak layout is always making fun of me. Please help me find my sanity.  Thank you.
