3. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

4. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

To resolve this issue, let us try these methods:

Method 1.

Method 2.

  • Envy 17-j020us, cannot cut/copy and paste in the file Explorer

    I can cut/copy and paste the url and the text to speech, etc, but I am unable to cut/copy and paste files in Windows File Explorer. I tried malwarebytes and virus programs running. HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi jdavis33811,

    Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

    If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

    Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

    If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

  • Can I cut, copy and paste a block of text in PL/SQL Developer?

    I have been using TextPad to create SQL statements by using the cut, copy and pasting of text BLOCKS.
    Example:
    I copy the describe a table, replace varchar, date will 10 spaces and copy the column names in a block then paste further down the TextPad.
    Can I join the lines into a single string, replace the spaces with commas
    Then insert the INSERT INTO tbl_name (before the name of column
    Can I get the values by copying also and then paste text block where they need to go. ETC, ETC.

    Thank you, Bill

    Consider by text blocks, you hear the columns rather than rows. The answer is no.

    But it takes, you can generate sql statements by dragging the table from the tree of the browser in a worksheet.

  • Since the download 29.0.1 I can no longer cut, copy and paste. So frustrating!

    Often, I copy and paste items in the forums of the site without problem. However, since I upgraded to 29.0.1 I can do is no longer only and it's so frustrating. I tried to do the extra steps click on your copy and paste items, but it does not help. I even tried downloading the AllowClipboard Helper, but that no longer works. I never needed this add-on in the past.

    This is ridiculous.

    How to get back to version 28? It worked well but had to just go ahead and 'fix' and I hate the new version. I could download the Restorer Classic theme which helped a lot, but some things I couldn't do as version 28.

    Hi karenbills, in fact, the fox icon is part of the title bar. To display the title bar, you can use customize and click the button at the bottom left of the title bar. However, it adds another line of height to the toolbar area, which I think is the reason for which it does not appear by default.

  • Cut/copy and paste NOT working, NO malware and registry change only temporary in FF 18.0.2

    I followed EACH suggested 'remedy' for FAILURE cut/copy - paste function in FF 18.0.2 without success and am entirely whereas FF UNINSTALL and go back to IE8. There are MANY features FF I love and want to keep it, but the simplest things become so frustrating...
    SUCH as: 1) Clipboard worked ONLY SPORADIQUEMENT, no matter what I do, 2) why don't y at - there no history URL when you use the PRIVATE BROWSING so I can trace my own steps if necessary, press BACKSPACE or by clicking the arrow to the left. By pressing the arrow to the left ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and loses my point of departure, 3) why the EMPTY the CACHE NOT button erase the HISTORY. for example, I go to a website, say email Yahoo, do my thing and disconnect, and then click HOME, then clear the Cache and enter Yahoo email to a different e-mail account and Yahoo acknowledged my attempt and me in my email previous username. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. No help here, NO running AV/malware detection/clean and remove registry entries since NONE OF THESE do something positive?

  • Ethernet has randomly stopped working on my iMac

    Hi I turned on my computer this morning, and the Ethernet port has decided to stop working without any reason. He doesn't even know there's a cable in and I tested the cable on my other computer and that works very well. Do you think that the port is actually broken? (I can't use wireless because it's not fast enough for my purpose). Thank you

    Try resetting the SMC reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    Try a different cable anayway and make sure that the cable is tight in the port.

    How do I or can I stick a print shop project in an email?

    If there is a specific file, open the e-mail message, open the folder that contains the file, then click and drag the file to the message.  If it is not a file but is a collection of files, and then creating a compressed folder (that is, a Zip file) that contains the structure of the project and attaching would be appropriate.

  • Internal speaker (speaker of the ear, no speaker) blackBerry Smartphones has randomly stopped working.

    First, I'll tell you that there is no water or elimination of damage to this phone, its been pampered. The WDI decals prove the absence of water damage. I used the phone 3 times during the morning and midday, received a call last night call and nothing... I called my other phone and still nothing. I started the mp3 player and activated the headset speaker, nothing. I did a battery pull... nothing... I even went as far as wiping the phone... NOTHING. Have never heard of guys this type of malfunction just? I did some research, and what I get to replace the intermediate plate... However, this seems to be a difficult task. Advice or suggestions?

    Well, it is the intermediate plate... installed today. everyone rants and raves about how much it is difficult to replace the intermediate plate must have problems with screws... literally, it took 5 minutes to unscrew a few screws, remove the intermediate plate, install a new one and reinstall the outer shell. It was simple, im pretty sure that my child 5 years could do... However, it has fixed this problem.
