The corrupt right - S combination SHIFT

I have a very sticky problem: a few days ago the right - s-shift key combination does not work. No character is apparently treated, so I can't create a capital s with the right shift key. I do not suspect the keyboard I can create all other capital letters with the shift to the right. The only problem is that my keyboard parts. A search does not reveal too much help except that these problems can be the result of a program (or the user accidentally) setting a keyboard shortcut with this combination of keys for another purpose, which paralyzes the capital letter S in my case. Restarting the computer does not help. This happens with all users and programs. Windows XP Media Center Edition. Do you know how I can find this problem and fix it?

OMG. After much research, I saw that my insert key was stuck! Weird how it would have that effect preciise. A problem post-it indeed!

  • stopped to get an alert in the lower right, every time my caps lock shift is on

    original title: caps lock alert

    Having recently replaced my hard drive after the old one fried, my Dell Studio 1555 (Vista) has stopped giving me an alert in the lower right, whenever my shift caps lock is on. Also, I can't see the taskbar at the top of the screen or the other (the one with IE and the trash that appears whenever I used to spend my mouse up there). Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I tried some google searches and asking autour, but all I can find is to know how to stop messing around in the registry and it's asking for trouble.

    As far as caps lock icon in the notification area, it is not a feature of Vista and probably came with other software provided with your computer.  I would check for keyboard software (whether in the discs you got with the computer or on the web site of the manufacturer) as is likely, it is where he is.  Because it's a Dell, it may be a problem with the quick set button.  See the following thread that describes how a similar problem was found on another machine from Dell:http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/256075-caps-lock-popup-dell-inspiron-1545-a.html.  According to me, a new and updated Quickset updated download can be obtained at the following:http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=STUDIO1555&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid=.  Just install it and I think that your problem will be solved.

    As far as the upper toolbar will, I believe you are referring to the Dell docking station.  You can get that here:http://www.delldock.com/.  Simply download and install on it and you'll have the toolbar (if you have set up to be the settings you had before or what you want now).

    I hope this helps.

  • Changed the behavior of the combination SHIFT + click in Editor?

    In versions cc2015 of Photoshop, the checker behaves differently than older versions when I use 'shift-click' to connect the dots. In PS CS6, for example, when I take the SHIFT key, the clone tool in (or cure) continuously from point to point as I click. In the last two versions of Photoshop, this has changed: a click, then shift + click to a new location translates into a 'line', although it is not until the next point clicked, even by pressing the SHIFT key all the time. Instead, the point is considered as the beginning of a second 'line' of healing.

    I hope that makes sense - it's surprisingly complicated to describe such a simple thing. But the effect is really disconcerting - if I'm along a surface of healing, I can't have a continuous 'cure' along a curve, for example.

    Tools brush and Clone Stamp don't show it at all - they behave as expected, click connection points without interruption until the SHIFT key is released. I can't find any preference which may have changed, and I'm using a very simple toolset - without wild brushes or anything like that. Very frustrating!

    How can I get the old behavior back to the Healing Brush tool? What Miss me?

    Thank you

  • There is no time in the lower right part of screen with barely installed firefox 33.

    I've always had the time / date in a right lower potion of the screen. Until I installed the latest version of firefox (firefox 33).
    Thanks for your time!

    Is it in Firefox or the clock in the Windows taskbar?

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command + SHIFT + F).

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse to the top of the screen to facilitate the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.

  • I can't find the button 'settings' at the top right. Where else might?

    I would find this button because I want to activate my Trend Micro Security thing in the toolbar. I read that the first step to do is to find the 'settings' button at the top right, but I don't think it's there.

    I don't know if it's setting button in Firefox or the button settings in your software from Trend Micro.

    To see if you have Trend Micro modules in Firefox, you can open the page modules using one of the following methods:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. On the right side, look for the Trend Micro and other add-ons toolbars. If they are disabled, they will be down on the gray background with a corresponding activation button.

    A little luck?

    You can also view the Plugins category. If you find Trend Micro plugins here, make sure they are set to "Always enable" instead of "Ask to activate" since the plugins that work across the world don't work well with the "Call to activate" (click-to-play) function

  • When you search something on amazon or ebay the top row always goes to the far right of the screen.

    So, when I look at something like 'shoes' in the amazon search box the top row of items flying over on the far right. And most is no longer even on my screen

    I checked on I.E. and I had no problem with that, then I guess it's a firefox issue.

    Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + holding the key SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the menu option help and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use "" boot mode safe. "
    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
    If it's good in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • nilibddc dll: opening files tdms with the corrupt index files

    Hello

    I have a question about the error handling when using the nilibddc.dll.

    I want to use nilibddc.dll to open the .tdms file. At the time I experimented with some error cases and got stuck in a case:

    When I try to open a file with a corrupted file .tdms_index .tdms I get code error-6211 (DDC_StorageCouldNotBeOpened).

    The file .tdms_index is corrupted due to errors during the copy of the file.

    The problem I've noticed is that I have a lock on the corrupted file .tdms_index file after DDC_OpenFile (...) (I can rename it, but I can't delete the file!).

    As you can see in the code snippet - it is not really special...

    int ddcError = 0, length;
    DDCFileHandle file = 0;

    ddcError = DDC_OpenFile (file_path, NULL, &file);)

    Here, I get ddcError is-6211
    If (ddcError == 0)
    {
    do something with the file...

    ddcError = DDC_CloseFile (leader);

    If (ddcError == 0)
    {
    < "no="" error="" -="" everything="" done"=""><>
    }
    }

    System ("pause");

    I miss something here? Should I use DDC_FreeMemory in somehow to free open handles?

    I also tried to use the DDC_OpenFileEx (...) with readOnly set to true. But that doesn't change anything!

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Daniel

    You are right. The sample file you attached to your message causes an access violation. If no normal flow program and apllication in undefined state.

    I will direct the file to developers. I tried to generate a file that causes the same by beating some index files, but has failed to create one on my own. It happened to your site more than once?

    What can we do?

    In the first place, simply copy the PDM. The index file will be recreated when the file is accessed. What is lost when the index file is not copied, therefore the time required to create the index file by scanning once the PDM file.

    I hope this helps a little

    Those who will reflect the "yellow icons" on the left side and the files/folders will not exist. If so just

    Also update your drivers: (WiFi (wireless), NIC (Wired) and others as required)

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I have a Dell Studio 1749 under Windows 7 Home Premium.   I postponed the upgrade of Windows 10 to the present day.  The update file appears in the control panel Windows Update Panel, but when I click start it restarts Windows 7 simply and tells me that the new updates have been installed but it was Windows 7 updates since yesterday.

    Is the corrupted Windows 10 download, and if so how can I remove this and re-download the file?    Or maybe another solution?

    Thank you.

    Review:

    Retry the upgrade manually:

    Option 1:

    Download the media creation tool

    Click with the right button on the MediaCreationTool.exe file and then click on run as administrator.

    Note: How to check if you are downloaded or installed the update Windows 10 November

    Select upgrade this PC now and then click Next

    Option 2:

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Using the blending modes to combine two exhibitions and options?

    I have two exhibitions of painting, lined up in the form of layers in a file. A layer has some metal/specular/brilliant reflections (gold/yellow) I want to keep; the other layer has good shade, blacks and overall saturation but completely lacks the metallic Sheen because of the polarization of the light.

    Choice of mode of light mix sweet on a layer or the other annoys me more closely, but not close enough. Maybe something to blend options? A few tips on how to feel this way I can look further? Although I have worked with curves, masks, etc., it seems mixture could be more direct, but because of my lack of familiarity with this aspect of the PS, not sure even where to begin a search in this particular use.

    Thank you.

    Try "Mix." If

    Here is a framework or with normal diffuse lighting (left) and (right) cross-polarization light:

    Mix if using, the two can be combined to bring some back if necessary specular reflections. You can also target specific channels, often which can give better separation. You'll just have to experiment with the sliders, but sharing the cursor usually pays off with transitions in sweet. Use the Alt key for this.

  • How to put a link to the upper right of the region?

    Hi, gurus:

    I have a question of the reorganization of the links on a region. We have two links that need to show on the upper right corner of the region, and they will show depending on their values in the database (by the business logic that do not show at the same time). If we use the link in the column of the vertical report, we cannot do show on the position of the upper right. If we use the sub-region, it goes inside the region, could someone give us a clue?

    As usual, the answer is "it depends." Where exactly is "at the top right of the region"? Depends on model and the content area. What is the logic determines that is displayed? When should it be run? I can think of several ways to achieve this: a subregion of the list; only display items; hidden, items referred to as chains of substitution; or shortcuts. Unable to determine which is appropriate given the information provided.

    As I said, you will answer your questions much faster if you have spent time creating examples on apex.oracle.com rather than posting long descriptions and pieces of code, that we cannot use it on the forum...

    If we use the link in the column of the vertical report, we cannot do show on the position of the upper right.

    You probably pourrait, using the right combination of model report, CSS and jQuery, but there are a lot of the best options available.

    If we use the sub-region, it goes inside the region

    There is a very simple solution to this: use the two subregions, with links in the first, and the contents of the box main in the second and the models of the region without titles or borders.
