What happened since I bought my laptop with Windows 7. I tried my machine manufacturer and they don't have any idea. It's very annoying to have my pointer freeze and close the lid of the laptop to thaw it.

  • Whenever I have press and hold to my left click on the mouse button, it automatically highlights everything from this point to the top of the page

    Whenever I press and my left click without releasing, it atomically highlights everything from this point to the top of the page. Also, note if I'm now left click on the scroll bar, it goes back to the original location, even when I try to drag it upwards or downwards.

    Open internet Explorer and the problem does not occur there.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • Mouse Sonar: Registry key? Specify the location of the pointer when I press the CTRL key

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    (But this feature existed for several years, at least as old as XP).

    In Control Panel mouse pointer Options tab, there is a checkbox option:

    [b] "see the location of the pointer when I press the CTRL key". [/ b]

    When this field is selected, pressing the CTRL key causes concentric circles around the mouse pointer, to help you find it quickly. HE often called mouse Sonar.

    I want to activate this option, but my mouse control panel does not have a pointer Options tab. I installed a mouse of third-party providers of hardware, software and drivers, and they hid the pointer Options tab. If I knew that the registry key for this option, I can activate it via regedit.

    Someone knows the active registry key or disables this option?

    This option is stored under this registry key:

    HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask
    However, it is coded to store several variables, and this direct modification is very far from a supported scenario.  You can try to install the Microsoft IntelliPoint software instead.

  • Computer laptop keyboard acts as the CTRL key is stuck

    No particular reason, that I can isolate, the keyboard on my brand new HP laptop will act sometimes as sank the CTRL key.  For example, if I type 'problem' when the problem occurs, most applications will be to print this page. It is especially annoying and I can't reproduce the problem... it is seemingly random.

    I disabled all the keyboard shortcuts as I can find a way to make keys sticky. I installed all available updates. I removed the keyboard driver and let the system to reinstall. And many other things I could think

    The only thing that seems to make the problem disappear (outside reboot) is to bring up the keyboard on the screen. All loading screen keyboard fixes the problem. This leads me to think that the problem may ultimately reside with the on-screen keyboard.

    I have not installed software on this computer that came with it at HP except Google Chrome.

    Return "no questions asked" warranty will expire soon, so I would like to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE

    IM cannot delete apps from the iPhone 7 when I press the icon, he asks me if I want to share?

    any ideas?

    You do not press and hold.  You press VERY briefly until the icons wiggle and X in the upper right corner.  You can remove the application.  Not all applications (for example, settings, photo, Messages, pictures, clock) can be deleted.

  • Press and hold the menu does not appear while composing email - iOS 10

    As per above, if you press and hold before type anything, the submenu would not appear.

    You must type something in front first, then press and hold to see the submenu.

    As on the new line without typing anything, submenu just appear in press and maintenance.

    This has never happened before on iOS 9, as I always have right now to insert any picture without typing anything.

    This is a bug in ios10. Thought I was going nuts trying to re - copy text in a different application and bring it back on my mail.

  • Use the toggle button to simulate the Ctrl key now

    Hello

    I saw someone asked something very similar before, but nobody seemed to know the solution.

    I was wondering if it is possible to use a toggle button to simulate the CTRL key now, the idea being that the user could then zoom in on a rectangle of their choice on a field without having to press the button themselves. I know that you can use the FakeKeystroke function to simulate support that the key however is possible that it may be held?

    Thank you

    I forgot one thing. You must handle the case when you have a real EVENT_DOUBLE_CLICK. In this case, you don't want to reset the keyboardState. Here's the modified code.

    char oldKeyState [256] = {0};
    char newKeyState [256] = {0};
    int isFakeDouble = 0;

    Zoom CVICALLBACK int (int, int int event, control panel,
    void * callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
    {
    HWND hwnd;
    toggleButton int = 0;
    switch (event)
    {
    case EVENT_LEFT_CLICK:

    get the current state of the keyboard
    GetKeyboardState (oldKeyState);
    get the State of the toggle button
    GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TOGGLEBUTTON, & toggleButton);

    If (ToggleButton)
    {
    create the new copy of the keystate
    memcpy (newKeyState, oldKeyState, 1);

    Active control key.
    newKeyState [VK_CONTROL] = 128;
    SetKeyboardState (newKeyState);

    generate left mouse button events that will be holding the CTRL active
    SetActiveCtrl (panelHandle, PANEL_GRAPH);
    GetPanelAttribute (panelHandle, ATTR_SYSTEM_WINDOW_HANDLE, (intptr_t *) &hwnd);)
    isFakeDouble = 1;
    SendMessage (hwnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0);
    isFakeDouble = 0;
    }

    break;
    case EVENT_LEFT_DOUBLE_CLICK:

    mouse event generated will be taken as a double click. restore the old state of the keyboard
    If (isFakeDouble)
    SetKeyboardState (oldKeyState);

    break;
    }
    return 0;
    }
