    Original title: invoking sticky keys

    Hello

    With the publication of the description, I understand that you want to enable the sticky keys on your computer. I've certainly you will help solve the problem.

    Sticky keys can be activated at any time during a Windows session (including the connection) by pressing SHIFT 5 times. You can also use the control panel to turn on sticky keys permanently, but it won't allow you to do this for the logon screen. However, it is always possible to do this by manually editing the Windows registry. But it's pretty hard in there and if you delete or change a value by any chance there is no cancellation function, and it can have devastating effects on your operating system. So to make things a little easier, you can use the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.

  • Oracle cannot validate the composite foreign key when NULLs comes into play

    Hi all

    When a composite foreign key is used in a schema. Oracle does not check the necessary rules correctly, as indicated below.

    create the table parent_tab
    (
    x int,
    int y,
    z int,
    primary key for constraint p_key (x, y)
    );

    create the table child_tab
    (
    x int,
    int y,
    z int,
    Constraint f_key foreign key (x, y) refers to parent_tab (x, y)
    );

    insert into child_tab (x, y, z) values (1, NULL, 4);
    commit;

    Select count(x|| y) from parent_tab;

    0


    Select count(x|| y) from child_tab;

    1

    Tom Kyte says the following for an explanation.

    The database is unable to validate a foreign key when it is partially null. To assert the rule MATCH FULL for composite foreign keys, you add a constraint to your table:

    The constraint will ensure that either

    • All columns have NULL value in the foreign key, or
    • None of the columns are set to NULL in the foreign key

    As long as this constraint is in place, your foreign key will work as you probably think that it should.

    However, it does not explain WHY? I mean why Oracle is unable to validate the foreign key when it is partially NULL?

    Concerning

    John Spencer wrote:

    He thinks logically.  You have a composite PK of two columns, so 1, 1 is a valid key, as these are the 1, 2 and 1, 3 and 1.42.  In the child table, you have a line 1, the null value.

    What parent should have the child?

    I wish that it would be logical about this. Unfortunately, Oracle applies different rules in different cases. For example, parent of the value 1, NULL value and 1 child, NULL is not the same as NULL is equal or not equal to null. At the same time, one constraint unique index / unique Treaty, 1, NULL, equal to another 1, NULL NULL treatment as being equal to NULL and don't let several lines with 1, the NULL value.

  • My left shift key beeps twice when you press on--NOT STICKY KEYS

    My left shift key does not work. The law works fine. When you press it, it sounds twice. Has Ive restore my computer to an earlier point and that did not fix the problem, any more than to disable and turn off StickyKeys. The key itself is sensitive, it leads me to believe that it cannot be the entire keyboard. Any ideas would be useful.

    BTW, I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Asus U43F

    1. See manual ASUS [service] to see if there is any special significance to it. http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/post.htm I thought, but it seems not applicable since it is not starting, it is when running.
    2. check the sticky keys for accessibility-related technologies starting with F1 for help. There are a number of them. start going through one by one to see if something is on. You may have accidentally market something (there are combinations of keys that do this). Control Panel, display small icons, accessibility.
    3. buy a $5 or $22 USB keyboard. IBM makes a mechanical keyboard nice $79, classic, I believe to be a joy to type on (they make them for IBM). http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD
    4. Plug it in
    5. Try the left SHIFT key
    6. If she still double beeps {is your installation of windows or something in the laptop, not your keyboard. you can try reinstalling windows using a repair, which is less expensive, you need to reinstall your programs and drivers, but you keep your data. you can keep this configuration, my mother a.} otherwise, {hardware of the laptop may be in need of repair could cost between $200 (replace keyboard)-800 $ (motherboard).}

    There are more expensive mechanical keyboards, but they are for games.

    Symptoms: Booted computer, loaded the raid drivers and showed at the start screen XP for half a second then to BSOD with a Stop error Code 0x0000007E - see also a lot of users (0xC0000001D, 0 x-, etc.) as well.

    Solution:

    1 boot from your Windows XP CD and start the recovery console. You may need to press F6 while RC loads in order to load the SATA drivers. you will have a prompt c:\WINDOWS to the console.

    2. type: CD $NtUninstallKB977165$ \spuninst (it's the update, I had to uninstall to get out of the boot loop, other updates can be uninstalled by changing the name of the directory to $NtUninstallKBCODE$, where KBCODE is the code KB)

  • How to use sticky keys?

    I have rsi and coordination/proprioception problems, so I can't type without looking at where I tape and cannot coordinate both hands, can not use some grips and cannot use contact devices unless I can turn off the tapping and disable most of the movements. I also have migraines and sensory processing problems, and I can't handle all the flashing and some animations.

    I can type fairly quickly, as long as I can see as I type and all the key combos are not suitable for the same hand.

    I turned on the StickyKeys in the accessibility preferences, as many combinations of keys are designed to both hands and * all * the combinations of keys + mouse are.

    I had problems, however.

    Sometimes the keys get stuck on and I find myself with extra earplugs while typing or missing caps, or worse still, I find myself with something of my migraines trigger and zoom. for example command + scroll touchpad does.

    Also the keyboard and the keyboard Viewer do not work together. I can't use shift a keyboard, and then click the appropriate on the other letter.

    Are there ways to solve these problems? Yes, the keys appear on the screen.

    Hi, have a problem with keys sticky, but in my case in combination with voiceover active: whenever I press a modifier (ctrl, shift, etc.), voiceover announces the sticky keys are enabled. It's so boring that I can't be happy with my macbook air and imac. I'd also like capslock key, acting as a sticky when voiceover modifier key key is assigned to capslock in combination with sticky keys are enabled. Many emails to [email protected]wrote, but I received nothing promises / automated responses back. Please help us somehow! Thanks in advance, Helmuth

  • Keys on laptop HP to turn in the keys of symbol

    Original title: my numberkeys turn in the symbol keys and portable goes wacky, help!

    Two years my laptop HP with Windows 7 has had a small problem when all of a sudden the number keys will lock in mode symbol and if you are going to choose something, the mouse will highlight everything. This glitch is super annoying. Someone told me it's Comcast security software, but I assure you it is not. I deleted who and she always does. I even send the laptop back to HP and they do not have to fix it. Very frustrated. Nyone know a quick way to solve this problem. I already tried a complete cleaning and that didn't work either!

    If the suggestions of Yaqub K do not - resolve

    Then, it looks like that the SHIFT key is selected intermittently.  Check the key parameters in re accessibility settings. Sticky keys.  If all else fails, I would consider replacing the keyboard.

  • EliteBook 8560p: unable to turn on Mobile Broadband - 10 Windows

    Hello

    So I made the big jump yesterday of 8.1 Windows of Windows 10. Do this jump however gave me a headached major when it comes to using my built-in mobile broadband.  Properly installed device drivers however I am unable to turn on the device to Windows 10.  I had a similar problem on the Windows 8.1 but I then installed HP Connection Manager, and then I could turn on and off the unit.

    With HP Connection Manager not supported on Windows 10, is there another way I can get get this device to turn on so that I can use.

    I solved my problem.

    Before moving to Windows 10 I had installed HP Connection Manager on Windows 8.1.  During the upgrade, I thought that HP Connection Manager has been removed from the machine, as it is incompatible and not appearing is not in programs and features. The attempt to run the HPCM.msi file I had the option to modify, repair, or uninstall if I choose one of these options, I get a message indicating that the application was blocked.  It then struck me that HPCM was still installed and it had locked my device to the OFF state.

    I downloaded Revo uninstall the application and was able to successfully remove HPCM. Once removed, I could use my device natively through Windows 10.

    I hope this post helps the other.

    Unfortunately not much. Unless you are adventurous, love tinkering with things and try to dismantle. You might be able to pick up a DOA unit for not a lot of money on eBay you could save a new game, and there is a Disassembly guide (complete with pictures) on the forums of anythingbutipod so you can see what you would get in, but the final choice is up to you if you want to try it.

    For most people, this choice would be a new player.
