Type happens in all windows at once?

I am running windows 7. Say I open Facebook, Skype and a game called League of angels. When I type a message in one of these programs, the same text appears in all programs. IM typing in one and then go to clear this other type I before I can send it. Is this some type of functionality I have accidentlly active. Is it possible I can remedy. I searched everywhere for an answer and can not find someone with this specific problem

This isn't a feature of Windows and I'm not aware of any program that can do it, but it can be out there on the web, it's a big place :)

If you have just started to have this problem, use the option #1 here to cancel it.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    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.

  • A method to stop all applications at once

    Quit all open applications.

    I came across a thread where someone wanted to know whether all applications should be closed before that the mac is stopped.

    During the debate, someone else asked why it is not possible to close all applications at once.

    I remembered reading that can be a solution for this with Automator easily.

    This is how a very simple tool to stop applications open with Automator (in the Applications folder).

    Here's how:

    -Open the Automator application,

    -Choose Create a new "application."

    -in the search box type 'Quit', then drag the "Exit all Applications" option on the right side.

    -You can set applications to ask save changes or not

    -Save the workflow as an application and name it for example "quit all."

    -I put in Applications, but it will run everywhere,

    It works as a standalone application and it is very fast.

    You can change the icon of the application according to the standard method:

    -Select quit all, and then select an icon that you want to quit, all for the two "get Info."

    -Select the icon, copy in the menu.

    -then click on the new "app" icon and paste it in the menu.

    -See it translate.

    (Note: I found this quit all icon somewhere in the internet).

    I came across a thread where someone wanted to know whether all applications should be closed before that the mac is stopped.

    My experience is that it is not always necessary - is is counterproductive. "Compression of memory" the new OS X manages memory and apps very effectively.

    'Compression of memory's a triple play... It is a performance gain; Compress and decompress data in RAM is much faster than reading and writing on the disc, even an SSD. It is a victory of energy; less time spent to transfer data between RAM and disk, more time that the system can pass in its idle state. And finally, it is a victory of capacity; ... can handle loads of work much more demanding than previous versions of Mac OS X.

    By closing the Mac, it's much faster if you leave the operating system take care of closing down all applications and reopen all the apps on reboot.

    In this way, you can pick up where you left off in record time.

  • What happened to all the games?

    I currently use Windows 7 Professional upgrade version.  So that it can install work I ended up doing a cleaning.  When you run windows 7, I found I have not all windows as hearts games, solitaire, spider solitaire.  This version comes with these games?  I can download them separately and if so where?

    Hey GeneJS,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    The games that come with Windows and all new games you choose to install, appear in the Games folder.

    Open the Games folder by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type gamesand then in the list of results, click Games Explorer.

    If you do not see a specific title here, games are probably off.

    To turn back on them.

    1. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs, and then, under programs and features, click Windows turn on or off features.

    2. Select the games check box, and then click OK.

  • Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

    On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

    When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

    Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

    Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

    Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

    Hi AndrewInNZ,

    I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
     
    (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
     
    (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
    It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

  • How to map network drives for all Windows 7 users

    I'm trying to map network drives in Windows 7.  I did it by the usual method, but readers of network appear only for a single user (Administrator) and they do not appear for other users.  Is it possible to map these drives as an administrator so that all users can see them (instead of each user maps itself)?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi may 1

    There is no possibility to map the network drive for all users at once.

    However, you can access the mapped network drive other user accounts by using the credentials.

    To access the mapped network drive.

    1. click Start , then computer.

    2. click on map network drive.
