Windows Narrator 8 - activated without reason Volume keys

Hello

Im a new owner for the DELL XPS 12

No problems with my volume keys because they were used to control the volume

Turn on my laptop today and all a sudden volume key makes the screen flashes and the + volume button turns the Narrator. My hard volume keys have now no other function than the Narrator.

Is there a way I can disable the shortcut key?

(I'm not asking the disabling of the Narrator, I know, its ease of access, im asking how to disable this shortcut)

Hi, I had this problem myself on the Surface Pro 2, and it seems to be caused by the machine to think that the Windows key is held down.

Win + flight Up is the shortcut to start Narrator
Win + flight Down is the shortcut to take a screenshot, which reduces the brightness of your screen (the screenshots appear to be installed by default in ~ \Pictures\Screenshots)
What fixed it for me was simply touch the Windows key on the front of my camera a couple of times.
Good luck everyone,
-Sami

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Windows Home Premium Activation accepting not product key

    I recently met a problem on one of my kids computers that I can't fix.  I have recently reinstalled Windows Vista on this computer, I did because I bought Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Collection (a game of Microsoft), and it has simply refused to work on this computer.  I finally cracked and re-installed Windows Vista (you can read the entire saga here)http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/9ae7f7e3-eb92-4a36-9095-fe16f5a8ce38/#9284ac2b-a853-4366-bed6-e725de40347d.  As my child was cheerfully playing Zoo Tycoon and his other games, things be deleriously happy for a fortnight.

    Today, however, the computer started and indicated that Vista should be activated.  I have several legit don't produce key for Vista, but none of them are accepted.  The only options I'm offered are to enter a new product key, to buy a product key or ask Microsoft for help.

    I tried to re - install Windows Vista from the CD but I received a message saying that I need to install Vista from the current operating system, but of course when I start now it goes directly to the registration form.

    Any help would be appreciated, I literally installed Vista five times on this computer in order to get Zoo Tycoon to work and Im staggered by my inability to operate and the challenges, I continue to turn in (I could easily write a book on what not to do at this point).

  • Windows 8 re-activation with the same key

    I have a Vaio with windows 8 unique language(x64). I thought to format the laptop with the same OS and enter the product key. There will be no problem to accept the product key? I'm doing so that I can speed up my laptop.

    This isn't how you reinstall a preinstalled copy of Windows 8.

    You must use the built in recovery partition:

    Table of contents:

    1. Dell Factory Image Restore
    1.
    Dell Factory Image Restore
    Caution:
    Please note that this process will erase your hard drive, including your data, then re-install the previous backup file. This process, once started, cannot be interrupted. If you try to stop the process (for example, by turning off your system), your computer may not start and could cause a loss of data.

    Dell Backup and Recovery can recover the operating system or the backup of the recovery partition as well. To recover the operating system from the recovery partition, follow these steps:

    1. Plug the power adapter.
    2. Point to the right corner of the screen to make charms barappear.
    3. Click settings.

    1. Click the stop button, press on the then click restart in the options provided.

    1. The system reboots, login and click on the problems.

    1. Click the Dell backup and restore .

    1. The system restarts and returns to the top, click Next in the screen Dell backup and recovery.

    1. The system would be checked to see if the chip repair option can solve the problem, click Next once this is done.

    1. We will ask to select the backup to use, click the picture factory option or select one of the backups. Click Next.

    1. You will be asked to save your files, if required to do so by selecting the option Yes, save my personal files (Make sure to have a backup external hard drive very practice.) or select No, erase my files.

    1. The system goes ahead and ends at the restoration of the operating system. Click restart when you are prompted.

    1. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the system with windows.

  • Its chime of window every few minutes without reason

    HI - my computer is driving me crazy - it's that windows his remarks chime and ten minutes and sometimes more often.  I have no idea why, as sometimes its meeting slowed down when it does and other times Im to do ordinary things - it does not have to break all just should an hourglass or indicate his thinking or updaing no matter what - it just keeps ringing and it makes me to DRINK!  hahaha joke only about that last part.  Help!

    Then check your other running applications & Manual of your PC - if this isn't a Windows sound, then it must belong to someone else.

    You can confirm that it is someone else by restarting in safe mode [press F8 during the restart].  See boot (including safe mode) advanced options, How to solve a problem by performing a clean boot

    After using the system in safe mode for more than the chime interval, add in each of your normal applications until the restart.

  • Balloon VM pilot active without reason

    Hello

    I have a small group of 4 ESXi hosts. No of guests on resources committed (usually using 15 GB to 32 GB) I have a virtual machine that uses always the balloon pilot. Mater doesn't work if I restart it or move to another host after 10 minutes or if the driver comes into play. It runs the latest VMware tools

    Any ideas?

    Maybe you have a memory limit set on the machine and I forgot about it? This would make the kick balloon pilot in very early.

  • Activation of the new key pro OEM windows 7, I bought

    I have an old Toshiba A200 PSAF6A-0SQ01N (from Australia) which was confirmed
    the Toshiba Australia is comparable to EU model PSAE6E for drivers (just the background).
    The laptop has Win Vista installed.

    I bought a new Win 7 pro key with download of Windows through ebay and burned it to DVD.
    Then I shutdown windows and it set in motion by pressing '0' for the recovery and wiped
    HARD drive (but left the recovery on the HARD drive partition). Windows 7 pro installed without
    probs and I have included all the necessary drivers.

    Just to check a second time prior to activation - is that what I should do prior to activation
    or is there something special that needs to be done because the key of Vista installed at the factory?

    When you install the clean version of Windows it has nothing to do with the original recovery image and you can enable it when you want. Install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, and I'm sure that everything will be OK. I installed Win7 on P200 without any problem.

    The only thing is that now, after the installation Win7 you won't able to install original Vista of the partition. Original recovery image can be installed with recovery disks (DVD) only.

    Win7 works perfectly on this old machine, so in general, you no longer need Vista.

  • Activator Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade without reloading XP on the system first?

    After the purchase of a brand new (without OS) computer I tried to load my software to genuine Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) upgrade I had bought for intended use on my old computer but never charge over there because it was "of the problems' (where the new pc).

    Well not that no responsible OS Windows 7 could be installed from the CD on the new pc and worked for 3 days in a satisfactory manner. Now, I get an activation error telling me that the 25 char key is not valid. I checked that the software is legitimate using windows audit but saw on the Faq that the problem may be that MS does not accept my key I did have my genuine XP loaded on the pc before I installed the 'upgrade' (how can you update a pc and run perfectly without the old version being loaded first (for example after a HD format) If you are then obliged to have an older version Windows on the machine to activate it first?)
    What I want to know is: if I have the legitimate windows of the keys (Win XP and Win 7 Ult) is there a way I can get windows 7 (currently load and operation) activated WITHOUT having to wipe everything on the HD, load win xp and then 'upgrade' to win 7 all over again?
    NB: the pack Win 7 did not state it's an upgrade only.

    You could try the activation of the phone and explain your situation, but they will probably tell you to first install a qualifying operating system.
