  • Shortcut problem Windows

    We have a problem of unusual shortcut. There are 3 PCs.  Two workstations run WIN Professional 7.0. WIN Server 2008 running the server (where the files are located).  When you create a shortcut on a desktop, everything works fine.  When you open the shortcut on a different workstation, the file is not found (shortcut returns has been changed, moved, so this shortcut will work more properly). For example, the shortcut is specific to the computer in which the shortcut was created. How do we create shortcuts on a PC that can be used on another PC?

  • Illustrator keyboard shortcut problem

    Hi people

    so I had this problem on multiple machines running windows 7 (at work and at home)

    Illustrator shortcut keys I've learned to rely on 'V' or 'P' or 'A' do not seem to work properly in CS5 (and CS6?...)

    If I hit the 'V' key for example, instead of going to the direct Selection tool, I might have a little "ding" noise reject me (windows :), or the drop down menu display could open...

    That is what it is?  What is a software conflict?  material? (I have a wacom at home but not at work...)

    see you soon

    the love of my life

    It happens that after using the Alt key, as when you zoom in, right? a bug introduced in CS5 is the culprit, see this thread

  • Satellite P10-221, keyboard Fn + F5 shortcut problem

    On my Toshiba Satellite P10-221, running Windows XP, I used to be able to use the Fn + F5 to switch on my external screen. Recently, by pressing Fn + F5 the menu same as always, but the only option is the LCD. I used to have CRT and TV as an option. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I already tried to install the display driver (Nvidia), but this does not solve the problem.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    The external screen is correctly connected? Display driver has nothing to do with the FN + F5 option. Utility designed Toshiba is responsible for this.

A notice appears saying that it is a problem of the internet and the problem of "http" but do not understand this.

My computer is less than 2 years and I am technically challenged in some things on the computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also some things that I click on will not open for example. 'Click here' nothing happens, is this related to the shortcut problem?.

    Thank you

    Hello hakim.

    I see that you have problems with the opening of the desktop shortcut icons on your computer.

    I would say running a restore because the problem started only recently occurred. Here is a link showing how to do to run a system restore. Select the option "Restore Windows to an earlier point" and it will give the steps to run a restore and a video. This will not affect your files on the computer.

    Let me know if this can help, or if you don't have the available restore points.

But can not understand the crash when editing shortcuts problem. Where these shortcuts can be stored?

    Yes, uninstall, including deleting the preference files (make a backup first) then reinstall fixed hearing.

    Volume control

    Character map

    Accessibility Wizard

    Then someone please help me, I have searched the Internet on and tried several things to get these programs comes back with no luck at all.


    step 1

    before you start to try programs and things

    Save all your data, otherwise if you have missing DLLs you will mess the registry and then are bad
    step 2 
    After trying all the software that you need like antivirus, registry cleaners, defragmenters
    try to look for the icons and programs on the windows system32, don't start with run
    If you find any, you are sure that the programs are installed
    then you will know is a shortcut problem
    step 3  
    in case u find them recreate the icons everywhere u love and change u ensure the safety of you os
    warns we exchange, in the case where u can't find it
    Restart the pc and with f8, go to the last known good configuration
    that way u save a last log
    check is that they appear, if they are not,
    restore the system, or check the economy mode option
    If you see them in the mode without failure, then save and load on the right configuration
    in any case remember that you have wnds f1 help key button
    step 4  
    last option u said that you have a cd of xp re install

    When I click on "Fortfahren", everything works normally.

    In Photos, the cmd shortcuts seem to work normally, but know when I export images and create a new folder, after the file naming, pressing enter crashes the entire application.

    I don't check in different languages, but it could be that they are not the case where English is the primary language. Similar problems have popped up with older versions of Mac OS X / Mac OS, the differences in behavior and errors according to the main language being German or German-Switzerland. Maybe Apple should make some more tests on the location before the release of macOS?

    She came back, but after a few moments, the keyboard problem reappeared.
    When you type to access pages Web etc. program expenses are open as if, I think it is called a macro program received access keys.

    I used the keyboard screen to overcome this, but it is inaccessible today.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before?
    Is there a program to get rid of these problem of keyboard shortcuts?

    Thank you in advance.

    > When entering for access to pages Web etc program expenses are open as if, I think it is called, a macro program received access keys.

    What (s) did you press on exactly?

    You can control the different characteristics of portable on different F (F1 - F10) keys (also part of the FN key): for example, you can enable or disable the touchpad or you can change the brightness of the display.
    Do you mean these keys?

    The other hand OS Windows supports a feature called Accessibility Center.
    Within accessibility you can adjust these settings to 'make it easier to use the keyboard.

    Go to control panel and click Accessibility Center and find the link to make the keyboard easier to use. Once you're there, you'll want to make sure that the boxes to turn on sticky keys or turn FilterKeys are off which simply means the feature isn't active at the moment.

    Also, you gotta click on set up filter keys or set up sticky keys (or both). Disable filter keys Popup. If you went to the filter keys Setup screen, remove the FilterKeys check box lights up when you press right SHIFT for 8 seconds. To disable the Sticky Keys Popup, uncheck the box to turn on sticky keys when you press SHIFT five times.

    Recommend that you check this Microsoft article about this feature:
