Toolbars missing InDesign CS5.5 and keys do not work

I use InDesign CS 5.5 for a few years now and I am very happy with it.  Today, I started to create a new document and found no toolbars available, other than the menu bar, when I started the program. I found and placed these and started by pasting in graphs.  CTRL-V didn't work, so I used edition, paste instead.  Then I typed the text and found that the return key has not worked either, neither tab nor the arrows...  I dropped the paper and loaded up a post I created a couple of weeks, with the same result.  No toolbar and button back (on the main keyboard) didn't work, nor the other keys I mentioned.  The keyboard works fine in other applications.

I rebooted the computer and reloaded InDesign.  I deleted (renamed actually) the InDesign Defaults file as indicated in the FAQ (I couldn't find a SavedData file).

I use a desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 QuadCore PC.

You did it all changes to Windows? Looks like it is probably this: panels and InDesign tools answer not to the clicks of the mouse (Windows 7/Vista)

I would also consider doing a system restore to a date where things worked...

  • ReadyBoost - tab is missing in the properties, and it does not work!

    Title says it all. When I insert a disc and the Autorun dialog opens, if I click "Speed up my system" it just opens the property page for the device with the free space, etc. The ReadyBoost tab isn't there.

    I especially don't think that I NEED, I'm 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM. But this isn't the point, please do not answer with "you don't need, so don't bother. All I see is that is not a feature that is supposed to be there, if I need it or not, it could indicate a bigger problem with my PC.

    Where the ReadyBoost tab? I know in Win7, the service is incorporated with Superfetch, and I checked this service is launched and automatic. I tried to format the USB key as each file system and also tried the switching device to "Optimize for performance" etc. Nothing. I ran "sfc/scannow", and he found no problem.

    Any help guys?

    Hello

    ReadyBoost in Windows 7 is much better integrated and provides even better than Vista speed.

    ReadyBoost still help your performance if you run a lot of memory intense programs, run a
    many programs in the same time, or use some that access large files. In Windows 7 there is none
    upper limit of the amount of memory to use for ReadyBoost. In Vista, it was limited to 4 GB.

    The problem may be with the USB key you try - it might be too slow. Several USB thumb-
    readers have a bit of fast memory, and then the rest is much slower. Some of them will spend the
    ReadyBoost speed test but does not work properly. If a player does not have speed ReadyBoost

    many of them are or stretching at least the truth. Look at the sides of the player below and buy
    a you know is FAST.

    Don't forget that the readyboost max cache is 4 GB for Vista and unlimited in Windows 7. If your
    device is 4 GB on Vista, you can use the rest for storage. In Windows 7, you can
    Use any space not reserved for ReadyBoost as storage device. And you need a fast reader.

  • Dv6-6C50US, tone of keyboard and keys do not work when you press on consecutively

    Dv6-6c50US - windows 7

    When I hit a key consecutively, it does only once. Example: I type 'business', it appears as "business".

    Same case with keys, including the arrow keys.

    I tried different options with character repeat in Control Panel, but no use.

    Also, I hear beeps keys which I never heard in my laptop earlier.

    Not sure how to fix this problem.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Here's a thing worth it.

    From the windows control panel, open the ease of access Center and click on the link "make the keyboard easier to use.  If there is a check mark in the box beside "Turn Sticky Keys" or "Turn on filter keys", delete them and then click on apply to make the change to see if that solves the problem.

    Hi Richard,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.
     
    It resembles that of the number keys and @ key will not work after you install Windows 8. I understand that this can be embarrassing.

    You can follow these steps to search for a program called detector of key journal constant guard or the constant guard of Comcast.

    (a) press "Windows +R" and then type "appwiz.cpl" and press ENTER.
    (b) locate the program constant guard here.
    (c) make a right click on it and select Uninstall.
    (d) to restart your computer.

  • I don't know how i ' v, but I lost the toolbars at the top and bottom. [Alt] will not bring up the toolbar and scroll keys do not work. How can I fix it?

    I managed to hide the toolbars, ALL of them. [Alt] brings to the top of the toolbar so that I can change them. In addition, the [previous page] [next page], [home] and [end] keys do not work.

    You can have:

    1. Choose the Mode "full screen" or
    2. unchecked toolbars

    The F11 key activates / turns off Mode full screen or not. Full screen, you have no toolbars, no tab and no bar Add on (bottom).

    If unchecked you your toolbars (checked = displayed; UN - check = not displayed), and then do one of the following, then click on those you want to check/uncheck:

  • Tecra S5 - FN and sound keys do not work

    Hi, I have problems with sound in Notepad, when the noise stopped working, I reinstalled the sound drivers but the sound does not work.

    The FN keys do not work in the other direction, I can "adjust brightness and sound with the FN keys. I too reinstalled the utilities, but when I run the "accessibility" a windows popup is shown in the screen that says: "the registry is missing or can be broken."

    I don't know if the two problems can be related to each other, but both began to arrive at the same time.

  • Tab and control keys do not work in Firefox (they work in other browsers) AND I went to a new keyboard.

    Tab and control keys do not work the browser Firefox (my browser is up-to-date). The buttons work in IE and Chrome, however, until I realized that, I even changed my keyboard for a brand new, hoping that would solve the problem.

    Hello arlusk, the problem is probably an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

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

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot 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. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

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

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Installed Tuneup Uitlitie and my control keys do not work

    Hello

    Since I installed Tuneup Uitlities my keys do not work.
    For example: I can't adjust the sound volume or toggle wlan with the keys F1 - F12.

    I already searched in Google, but I can't find a solution. Is it possible that Tuneup have uninstalled or disabled the Launch Manager? How can I install/activate this new?
    I can't find something.

    Hope someone can help me,

    > Is it possible that Tuneup have uninstalled or disabled the Launch Manager?

    Never heard talk of launch manager on the Toshiba laptop computer, but of course, the FN buttons are controlled by special software.
    I put t know what system you are using and what laptop do you have but for example:
    Using the Win 7, value added package system and some utility Flash card access buttons controls the FN.

    SATELLITE C50 - B - 11 D

    >... and has this problem since the day 1
    Why wait so long? Where this problem occurs from the beginning, it is always possible to return the laptop to your local dealer and ask for replacement.

    Anyway, do last and final test. Reinstall the original recovery image and check if the problem persists. If so I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Your laptop is new and its warranty valid, they will help you.

    Maybe new update BIOS, if available, may help, but first try to clarify this issue with the technicians.

    Hello

    I'm not very well if you get the FN m current buttons on this laptop computer as part of Win 7 because it s an older series.
    But to my knowledge the FN buttons are controlled by the Support of Flash memory card utility.

    Please check the driver series L500 area.
    You will find the Support of Flash Card Utility and VAP (value added package).
    Install first the PPV then Support of Flash Card Utility

    Usually, it should work...
