• Door of CD-ROM with the life of its own...

  It is a Compaq Evo with XP. It is not a new computer, by far, but it just started a few months ago. It's time to do it, then stop for a few weeks. But sometimes, it is constant. I mean CONSTANT. I even drove taped to it closes at the opportunity, because it's just that boring. It took more than an hour to install a new printer this evening, the Conference on disarmament would not stay long enough to read it. What can I do, far from taking it to a repair shop, which we cannot afford. Frustrating...

  Thank you very much! I am currently looking to see what version of Norton, we have, but oddly enough, can't find it. It came with this internet service and thought it was 360. I went to this link and was very helpful and read the rest of the thread. When I can't find Norton, I will disable the backup & switch to manual. Once again, thanks a lot!

• I have a Wacom Intuos 3 and Photoshop CS6 with OSX Yosemite. I installed the plugin 'Whitewindow' but the browser panel still takes on a life of its own every so often - zoom in and zoom out. Any help would be appreciated.

  The tool of the browser will be crazy from time to time. Zoom in and out and moving without me touching anything. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thank you very much. Jake

  Hey Jake,

  Did you ensure that you use the latest version of Photoshop CS6 and have Wacom drivers updated?

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2430 - 402 has a life of its own

  I got my satellite 2430 402 for about 2 years and it was absolutely perfect, but recently, I have noticed a problem that worsens every day. every few minutes the arrow mode icon turns green (without me touching the Fn key) and I lost control of the computer... strange writing appears... assistants open and close in front of me and im totally helpless that the keyboard stops working during the event... it continues for less than a minute and then everything goes back to normal for a minute or 2 then the same thing happens again...

  I'm about to start typing a thesis for my job and there is no way I can do if the problem persists... incidentally although it happens at any time it can be made worse if I try to type something, even a password to connect to a Web site... I had to use a friends computer to send sos message... can someone help please... Thank you

  There could be different reasons for this... HARDWARE or SOFTWARE!

  First, you need to check if this occurs only when you are running windows.

  SOFTWARE:

  If so,.
  (1) a malware (trojan, keylogger etc.) can be installed on your laptop, or

  (2) a bad driver could be the reason. Have you recently joined a keyboard or usb mouse to your computer? It may have installed an incompatible driver or wrong.

  Start your computer and keep it in the PRE-START-UP phase (enter the BIOS SETUP and wait to see whether this will occure here yet).

  MATERIAL:

  If so, I guess your keyboard film contacts are dirty. You will need to remove the keyboard, open the movie-lock and clean the contacts with alcohol or contact spray. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please consult the technical support.

• MS Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2 scrollbar on its own

  Recently my v2 Micrsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 began to scroll to the bottom of any screen, I'm in (Windows Explorer, web browser, Excel, etc.).  I know that it is the keyboard because I removed the battery and the problem ceased to exist.  I also plugged a wired USB keyboard and I don't have the problem of scrolling/paging-down with it.  any ideas?  I tried to reinstall the driver already.

  Hello
  As it happens on several computers, I am prepared to say that there is a problem with the keyboard itself and has nothing to do with Windows.

  I suggest you see this link, including the "contact us" section to determine what should be the next step.

• selectingitems and trackpad pointer moves its own

  I was watching a video of Amazon and may have struck a couple of keys, or my hand slipped in the keys - I don't know, but pointer froze on the follow-up to the film bar at the bottom of the screen (not sure if this is relevant, or what is called in fact this bar) in all cases, the pointer froze and then began to move erratically in bursts on the screen , selection of apps, ibooks, photos, etc. and then OPEN them as if I had clicked. Literally goes haywire as if it had a life of its own. I have NEVER experienced this during the 11 years that I've had the Mac laptop. I don't know if trackpads wear out (my current MacBook Pro is a vintage 2012 and I debated update, but it was working very well.) I wonder how to clean the dust/debris under keys because I know it can be done and I was wondering if something got under the trackpad (seems pulled by the hair) but it's really another question for me to continue. Any help on trackpad possessed pointer would be appreciated. I don't see that this issue anywhere else... - Pam

  Remove the bottom plate and inspect the inside.  Pay attention to the battery to see if there are signs of expansion.  If so, take it out and have a new installed.  An extended battery can affect the trackpad.

  If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  Ciao.

• Keyboard has its own life!

  I have a brand new T410i.     Running Windows 7.    I got it for a few days.   A couple of times already they keyboard has just gone 'crazy' on me.    I'll be typing away and then the cursor moves to the right, text will erase as I type it.  It happened when I was browsing the web and it will click links on its own... or if I do a Google search, search to return results once it will just open one of the links... The pointer will be difficult to control.    The only thing that fixes it is when I stop and restart Windows.    No rhyme or reason as to what triggers it.   My laptop was on during a few hours today and then he began to act up.    Any ideas?   I checked the drivers and according to Windows, it uses more updated drivers.

  
  

• Infected w/Spyware, etc? Keyboard typing on its own.

  Hello everyone, I am new to this site and a novice in computer science. Lately my computer makes a beep when you tap email, Word or even search engines. Once it beeps, the keyboard no longer work more, or more often it starts to type many characters on its own. Very frustrating and I am at a loss of how to get rid of it, but also how it could have been infected in the first place. I ran ComboFix first and can provide a newspaper if need-be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  In addition, I ran MalwareBytes before and here were the two topics with which he kept coming:

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command\ (Default)
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\ (Default)

  This sound signal as being due to the blocking of the system or frost and it's sound motherboard. What I think, is that while you type a reason any PC cling and stop working and you might not notice and you pressing the keyboard or press the key on the keyboard to solve the problem and when it released to hang it then wrote to evertything you have entered but doesn't not visible here.

  I suggest to check the update and make sure that everything is updated and you have the latest Service Pack for Windows.

  Also, you can try running:

• I have a problem with scrolling of mouse working on its own.

  Original title: in Windows 7, how can I stop popups, scrolling & other activities when I do click on the mouse.

  I recently moved from XP if it is not a problem.

  (1) while I read a website or a Word doc & move the cursor out of the way, it opens up the popups for no matter what cursor passes over, distract from what I'm trying to do.

  (2) in Word, when I try to highlight something to change or clear, somehow the cursor goes into scrolling on its own & does not allow me to highlight what I want.

  Basically, I would turn the mouse in what it was on XP because the "intuitive" nonsense is not help. If I want to see the popup, I can always right click. I have need it automatically sends me garbage.

  Y at - it a setting that I have not been able to find? I was well as the mouse settings and tried various combinations, but this feels like a more basic configuration question. If so, how should I do?

  Thank you

  Earl

  Thanks for your help with this.

  For some reason, the mouse was activating stuff (pop ups, etc.) when I checked precisely not to do.

  I tried what you suggested. What seems to have worked replaces the mouse. I had an arrangement to use a single set of keyboard/monitor/mouse with 3 computers, requiring the use of a mouse with the old pins instead of USB. I'm trying to do with 2 units of mouse and it seems fine. Don't know why, but I'm satisfied.

  Thanks again,

• keyboard changed on its own!

  I have a MacBook Air 3.1 (OS X 10.6.8).) These days many of the keys on my keyboard have changed meaning (on their own!). The letters are OK, but punctuation, parentheses, accents etc seem to comply with some other keyboard. If I go to System Preferences and then the keyboard I donat see a way to change things. I tried to do a reset SMC, but in vain. What can I do? Thank you

  HE'S

  Have you checked the system preferences > keyboard > input methods.  On the left column, do you have what language selected?

• In the Photos of El Capitan how to record a double published in a separate with its own name and the ID file file?

  In the Photos of El Capitan how to record a double published in a separate with its own name and the ID file file?

  Only by exporting - with Photos (and iPhoto and Aperture) - you can have several versions of an image by duplicating the image (control - D), but this does not create an image file separated until you export - it creates a separate edit list in the database that applies to the original when you watch or export the photos

  Photos as it were its predecessors is a non-destructive control Digital Asset Manager (DAM) which does not any changes to files in the database but built a list of validation

• Why can I I have more docs multiple open with each having its own framework?

  used to be I could have multiple PS files open at the same time -each with its own framework ('frame' is what I call the stuff on each side of the image - toolbar on the left, layers, etc. on the right).  I had to reinstall all of the program recently, and since I could not get this configuration.  best I can do is floating windows, which is so difficult to work with, as often, I drag one doc to the other stuff.  I hope you can help!

• How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

  How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

  For example, a border: a black line with a width of 1, then a transparent line with a width of 5. Inside, it's the content pane.

  In JavaSE, there seems to be for the JFrame paintComponent() method to realize the effect.

  I can't see what you're trying to do now: it's a little trickier. You need stage.initStyle (StageStyle.TRANSPARENT), and I think you have to imitate the transparent part of the border by the presence of a second vessel inside the root container, properly positioned.

  Something like:

  
  import javafx.application.Application;
  import javafx.application.Platform;
  import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
  import javafx.event.EventHandler;
  import javafx.scene.Scene;
  import javafx.scene.control.Button;
  import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
  import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
  import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
  import javafx.stage.Stage;
  import javafx.stage.StageStyle;
  
  public class CustomBorderExample extends Application {
  
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    AnchorPane root = new AnchorPane();
    root.setStyle("-fx-border-color: black; -fx-border-width: 1px; ");
  
    StackPane mainContainer = new StackPane();
      AnchorPane.setTopAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
      AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
      AnchorPane.setRightAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
      AnchorPane.setBottomAnchor(mainContainer, 5.0);
    mainContainer.setStyle("-fx-background-color: aliceblue;");
    root.getChildren().add(mainContainer);
  
    primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);
    final Button closeButton = new Button("Close");
      mainContainer.getChildren().add(closeButton);
      closeButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler() {
        @Override
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
          Platform.exit();
        }
      });
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root,  300, 200, Color.TRANSPARENT));
    primaryStage.show();
    }
  
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
    }
  }
