• Compaq Presario CQ56: a problem with the computer keyboard laptop presario CQ56

  All keys (F) Act as the FN key is been held down when it is not. This just started today. I have a free prog called "keyboard test utility. Now, I have discovered that I can get 1 clean tap of F4 and the prog to test keyboard shows only illuminated F4. The next time I hit the letter (P) F4 and the Windows key are lit. Now, if I tap the FN key, and then press the F4 key. Again, F4 is the only 1 who turned on the prog of test. It's almost like the FN button nosed. I just to confirm. Rather than hold down the FN key to get things under the keys (F) (as a volume-, volume +, cut and so on). Now, I have to hold down the FN key to get the regular F1 to F12 keys. The rest of the keyboard is fine. A regular toggle switch or a switch in a radio push button. The FN key acts like someone ripped the wires to the back of the switch and reverse the wires and the switch can operate in reverse. Beats me how this can happen to a laptop keyboard.

• How can keyboard and mouse issues - I solve them? Is this a problem with the computer or device?

  Hello

  Recently (within the last week), I ran into a problem where my computer thinks certain keys/buttons are down.

  They are:

  W

  A

  S

  D

  Q

  E

  Maj

  Space

  Control

  Right-click

  Left click

  These are my most commonly used keys/buttons, so it can become very annoying. In addition, most of the F keys get stuck, but it's because there is something that needs to be cleaned under the feet.

  My questions are: How can I fix? Is this a problem with my computer or my keyboard and mouse?

• Could get a new router block printing? We had a lot of problems with the computer in the last week and a half. Bought new router and now the printer does not print. :-(

  (1) we went to DirecTV. Then the same day, our internet computer is down. I asked our current provider, Suddenlink, to let them know we had them to another - but we wanted to keep for the internet.

  (2) called DirecTV to investigate why our internet went down at the same time they installed? They said that they did nothing to cause that. We waited 5 days to make out and also install the third TV that was promised. The second tech gave things a lookover and said, once again, that there is nothing unusual during their passage to cause the problem.

  (3) called Suddenlink. They said it was the router. Called the people of Netgear. They said that the router was too old. We needed to pay an exorbitant sum for support and when I told him I'd rather just buy a new router and get free technical support for 90 days... and I personally do not have the credit cards in that time. (it's my mother s equip and I wonder it for the computer) when the guy told me that he could help and hung up on us, even though I was pleading for him to wait until I put my mother on the phone. (I'm in my 40s... not a kid).

  (4) Suddenlink called a few days later, when we got a new router (netgear brand NO!) Installed and I noticed that the 'ready' light was not 'on' on the modem. Their technology has said that he would check and call us in a few minutes. He did not.

  (5) the next day I called Suddenlink AGAIN. This time, I got a really nice customer service agent. She said she would send someone to check on it. It turns out that they had disconnected when I had called to pass only the TV.

  (6) in any case, we are finally online... only now... I can't the printer to work. :-(  This has worked before.  Could it be caused by the different router? I don't know about these things. I didn't even know what it was until someone at Radio Shack has explained to me. (I was not about to buy one at Wal-Mart - these poor people). The printer is a Canon Pixma MX340. We love him. The only thing is that it is difficult to clear the tasks or to reset. The only way to really do that is to simply pull the plug, unfortunately and restart the computer. But hey, it's a great printer, better than HP.

  We are under vista. The router is a Linksys wifi (which we have) N300 model E900.

  Of course I appreciate any help you can give. God bless you!

  Michelle and Ruth.

• I got a call from people claiming that there was a problem with the computer.

  Original title: scammed by PCWizards?

  A few days ago I received a call from PC assistants saying they were Windows operating system support. They tell me that they have noticed that I had many requests from spam junk that was slowing down my computer. Unfortunately, as I had a big problem with my computer in time, I bit. I was very nervous about it at the time, but since I had so many problems with my computer and that you didn't know what to do, I fell prey to their plot. They talked to me in a 6 month contract for a fee of $99.00. After they have finished the maintenance on my computer, it worked very well, too gullible me thought: maybe they are legitimate.

  At the end of the interview I googled their business and came across an article that has been exposed as the crooks and claims that Wizards PC installs a spyware sophisticated by giving them access to the victim's computer remotely.

  To reassure myself, I decided to call using my Norton Security System. Their technician checked my computer and found a few things that their technology did not that he should have done; such that no detected restore points, the registry was not cleaned (35 detected registry errors) and it did not remove some software malware browers (toolbars).

  On his recommendation, I recalled PC assistants. The first tech I talked didn't seem to know what he was doing, so I hung up with him and sent their support line and ask them to address these problems or I would withdraw the payment from my credit card. Almost immediately after sending the e-mail, another technician called me. Unknowingly, I had all ready filed a dispute with my credit card company. I intend to cancel the service, but I am still concerned by some spyware detected on my computer. What is the best way for me to handle this? How can I get authenic proof that I was definitely scammed and I should report it to the Internet Crime Center? Using my computer for a few basic daily functions, must not be so stressful!  Any constructive guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You gave them remote access and if you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  The same files are include the other way on my other pc.

  Whenever I open the files, save option opens and a new file is saved with the file tha but they never get to open in word or powerpoint, only the backup option is displayed.

  The original files are protected by copyright and are lost. PL help me if possible to retrieve and delete all the files once the inspection is completed. You can forward this message to any authorized person.

  Attached files have changed to 1 or 2 k, but there was initially datas in a few MBs.

  201310131003535. I mentioned that somewhere I had formatted the USB key. Just before that, I had copied all files by selecting CTRL A and cut all the files in a directory on my PC. Then I opened the USB and no files were there. But always around 4 GB has been shown as being busy on the USB stick before formatting.
  My pc takes too long to restart, I tried a few 3 - 4 times and no updates have been installed or waiting to install after the 2nd time but when even he took more time than usual to restart and is compared to the other pc taking 2 X the time to restart, but two of them have installed bitdefender. Problem in my laptop toshiba, not pc lenovo, space time with more than 50 percent on the disk processor and Atom c.
  The files on my USB key are automatically replaced by shortcuts and so files open in a new tab and new cases opened are not those of origin who have been saved by me in this matter. Yet once I formatted and scanned, files, pc and USB but still facing the same USB key.
  Problems-

  1. all files are automatically displayed as shortcuts, even if I had pasted the original file

  2. once I click on open, I get an error and then after clicking on ok, some files get opened

  Before sending the email, I had formatted the USB scanned files on my HARD drive and then copied on the USB. The same problem persists. I think that when the files are displayed or open, the virus does something and change his behavior wrongly.

  1 bitdefender watch as new bitdefender is available, I click ok and repair wire starts and then it tells the system to restart.this cycle continues on the race

  2. 2 files are missing (attachment)

  3. could you send me the file by e-mail?  You can also download the link below.

• My HP laptop has had a problem with the uncontrollable from scrolling upward and to the left.

  Hoping someone can help me with this - for a month or if my computer hp laptop has had a problem with uncontrollable scroll upward and to the left. It is now getting worse and happens in all programs, including Word, Adobe, browsers, etc.. Even to type this message is difficult because the cursor periodically jumps to the top left corner of the text box. I tried to attach a new external mouse, but this is not enough. The problem occurs even when not to use the touchpad. I scanned my computer with several anti-virusprograms but no luck. It becomes difficult to use the computer for something else. Even now the down arrows / right does not help. PLEASE ADVISE!

   

   

  Original title: scrolling problem

  Hi Suresh,

  This is a late response to your question, but I thought that I could add more information here.

  From your description, it seems that your PageUp and the keys to the House (or arrows) of the keyboard are either stuck, or failing. These keys usually help access us in applications you mentioned. And since you mentioned that this happens even when the touchpad is not in use, it is likely that this could be the cause here.

  I suggest get you the checked keyboard when using a hardware technician, preferably from your computer manufacturer. That should help you understand better.

  Let us know if you need help with Windows, we are happy to be of assistance.

• I have a problem with the new administrator creating accounts and the original missing on the computer account.

  Original title: profile has been automatically removed, new profiles created automatically and can not open a session

  Help! I closed my laptop (only in the ordinary course of its use) and when I turned it back on, my usual user profile was gone and a couple of new ones have been created. One was created with my professional e-mail address as username (which is strange because I've never used this e-mail in the computer) and the other is empty. I tried to connect both of the profiles using my old combinations of the new user name and password, or user name and the old Word, but it is said that the account and the password is incorrect. I also tried to log on as an administrator, but it says "your account has been disabled. See system administrator. Is it possible to recover the data in the old profile without reinstalling Windows because I am away from home and do not have the disc. ... I use Windows 7.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help!
  You might be able to solve your problem using the system restore. Here's how it works:
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  On questions of password-, I treat my PC as I have my house: I always have a spare admin account / SpareKey so that I can return new anything that happens. You have a fully tested alternative admin account? If you do not, and if the method above doesn't work, then, you have a major problem that you will not be able to resolve without a CD to repair Windows.

• Problems with the installation of windows updates and reboot the computer

  When you try to restart the computer it freezes on "installation updates.do not turn off computer.". Currently have 20 updates which will not be installed. computer says CCC.exe prevents the computer from restarting and getting error code 80240016 when you try to install the updates

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
