None of the shortcuts on my desktop won't work!

The icons on my desktop work anymore, when I try to click on them, the work computer just to me, and I have to go through the start menu to get anything

to work.  Just started two days before, don't know what to do to unlock or to reset...  That's happened?

...... Just started it two days ago...

In this case, do a system restore. Choose a longer date from 2 days ago as your restore point. (Select a date where the desktop icons have been workin.)

You can also try to make a reconstruction of the icon cache. Yours may be damaged.

Another suggestion:

Restore explorer.exe

Press CTRL + Alt + Delete > Task Manager > processes tab > right click on explorer.exe > click on end process > Applications tab > new task... > in the Open box, type explorer.exe > OK

  • The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6.

    The shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work in InDesign CS6. I don't have an ATI video card, the shortcut key is not related to the center of catalyst.

    I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 video card and I reinstalled Windows 7 x 64 three weeks ago. Since then, the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C does not work.

    I tried to reinstall the program. I tried to clean the preferences file. Yet, nothing is done. I googled if there other programs that could take the shortcut for themselves. The InDesign menu says that the Ctrl + Alt + C is linked to the action "was". But nothing happens.

    If you have any suggestions on what do I do to fix this, please help.

    P.S.: before the reinstall, everything works great.

    MB: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe

    CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3770 3.4 GHz

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

    But no. I think I thought it somehow.

    I just reinstalled the CS6 InDesign from scratch, as stated in the above post. Just as new as possible. And he was always in trouble. Then I disabled the two automatic startup items:

    Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter wireless Tray Applet

    and

    Driver Logitech SetPoint.

    After that, everything is back to normal.

    I guess that one of them had caught the hotkey without mentioning, so that should be the fault. I don't think that other programs (with the exception of Adobe) have the same key as InDesign links.

    P.S.: Just restarted each disabled program and it's Broadcom 802.11 Network adapter Wireless Network Tray Applet that shows problems with the keys.

    So, thanks for trying to help me solve my problem.

    If anyone else has trouble with the keys and they have this specific bin running applet, better turn it off to be sure. In the Windows Task Manager, it is called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WLTRAY. EXE.

  • IBM Java 6 Runtime got removed, now the Manager of EKM encryption won't work.

    We use a TL2000 Dell for backups.  In a safety audit, it was noted that we had what we call the 'IBM Java 6 runtime' installed on our backup server, and it has been deleted without that person do you wonder what he has done.

    What he did was run responsible EKM encryption the TL2000 and now it won't load at all. .  Looking at the 'LaunchEKMGui.bat' file shows that it references the path where these runtimes used to be.  I tried to find a download for this particular flavor of Java without success.  I downloaded the iso of the encryption Manager, but I'm rather perplexed.  I was hoping that there is a section "install the IBM Java 6" or "Repair Installation" option, but no luck.  I'm just the junior admin net and my boss and I have been at this company for less than a year after a major overhaul, so we try to understand the network as soon as possible with little documentation.

    I also tried to change the LaunchEKMGui.bat to refer to a different path for Java, but that did not work.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) is there a way to get this IBM Java Runtime, without having to reinstall the full encryption Manager?

    (2) is there a CLI that I could use to start the server for encryption?

    We'll be moving away from backups on tape in the very near future - certainly before the end of the year and eventually, at the end of the month - but now I would like to strongly get the encryption running server and we are not totally out in the water on the backups.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Bryan

    Hello Bryan,

    Given that you are missing the java runtime, you can try to install just that from the iso file for EKM. I've seen sometimes that he can work & difficulty of the question, but most of the time that a reinstallation is necessary. Here is a link for the ISO & the EKM installation guide.

  • I have a little problem with my HP KU0841 keyboard I used to be able to hold two keyes to get the symbol for the pound sterling but it won´t work now all the ideas that I hit to stop this work?

    Can anyone help please.  I used to be able to get the symbol for the pound Sterling by pressing ALT and 0163 at the same time, maybe you'll know

    That's how you used to make the binary code on non-electric machines punch original card.  This will make me sound old?

    It's very frustrating that nothing bought here in Spain is not consistent with the rest of Europe, it is purely for the Spanish market.  I need to use this and other symbol that don't appear on my keyboard, but it is very - very sensitive touch and I think I must have hit another function key for stopping this work but can find nothing written on the computer and the manual was not in the box. as usual.

    Please let know us if possible thank you.

  • Satellite Pro A200GE and WXP - can I use the PSAE7 drivers or it won't work?

    The performance of Vista business makes me crazy, I need to go back to XP + sv pack 2.
    If I format my machine (A200GE) and install XP. can I use the drivers for the PSAE7? (or that the A200GE is PSAE7E this solution will not work?)

    Also do I need to contact microsoft to return to an earlier version of windows from my new vista Business edition? everything seems quite unclear.

    Thank you very much
    Dave

    Sorry, but A200GE is unclear to me. Can you please check the description of the model, and after the right.

    On the label located on the lower part you can see this number PAXXX. It is recommended to use the drivers listed for the model you own. WXP on laptops Vista is not optimized and best you can do is to only use the drivers for your laptop.
