Dec 12, 2006Microsoft has removed the classic Windows NT style logon screen in Windows Vista. You can no longer hit CTRL+ALT+Delete to get to a logon box where you can type in the username and password. Instead you have to enable the alternative logon screen to restore this capability.

Dec 20, 2009I've tried everything to try to reduce my on-screen KB to it's default size,
including 'system restore (4 times), which failed for some reason, shutting
the whole thing off, restarts, etc. I have no idea what I did & it currently

Cannot Deactivate On Screen Keyboard
Apr 12, 2008I cannot deactivate the on screen keyboard. Occasionally there is an arrow next to it and I de-select and push apply but with no luck. More often than not there is no arrow in the box next to it and then when I log in to my user there it is again. This is exceptioanlly annoying for I only pushed on it the first time just to see what it look like.

View 4 Replies View RelatedBlack Screen W/ Cursor When Locking Keyboard
May 6, 2009I have searched this newsgroup (as well as Google) and have found many items which are similar to this situation, but nothing quite exactly the same.
In my office I have 9 of the exact same computer (Dell Optiplex 755),all with the exact same software setup (Vista Enterprise 32bit).This issue is happening on only 1 of the computers (which leads me to believe that this is NOT a driver problem).
The user has her computer set to require a password when the screensaver is activated (normal windows screen saver, not some 3rd party program).
When the screen saver is activated, it locks the computer and the monitor goes black. All is well.
When she is ready to unlock it, she hits alt-cntl-del. 7 out of 8 times, the screen comes back to the logon screen where she can type in her password, and unlock the computer. But 1 time out of 8, the monitor will be totally black except for the arrow for the cursor.
She can move the mouse around fine (indicating the computer itself is ot toasterized).
Things we have tried:
* about 1/2 the time, unplugging the video plug from the computer and
plugging it back in will restore the picture (note that simply turning
the monitor off then back on *never* works).
* typing her password on the black screen will sometimes work (my guess
is that the prompt is in the right place)
Other than this issue, the computer works fine (meaning there aren't
other symptoms that indicate other problems).
Login Screen NOT Recognize Keyboard Or Mouse
Jun 10, 2008My laptop started freezing up some times lately, but yesterday I turned it on and got the Blue Screen. Now, whenever I turn it on, it boots directly into Safe Mode. Problem is, at the login screen it will NOT recognize my keyboard or mouse, making it impossible for me to login. I have confirmed that my mouse and keyboard are fine because they work when I launch the boot menu. I have run Startup Repair countless times, chkdsk a couple of times, but nothings working. I have the Vista CD that came with my laptop but I would really rather not completely reinstall Vista because I have many important documents and family photos that I have not backed-up.

Aug 12, 2009I tried to search for a solution for this problem but i dont know how to word the query. So i restart my machine and every things going good video display and i can press del to get into the bios, i can move around in there and change whatever. Once vista loads the keyboard and mouse still are receiving power (lights are still on) but are non responsive. Ive tried reseting the cmos and puting everything back to defaults in the bios menu but to no avail. The weird thing is that it happened out of no where. It was working fine and my roommate (and i believe him) came home turned it on to find these problems. Its seems like all my onboard input/output connectors are not working.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCannot Re-enable DEP
Mar 23, 2008I have trouble playing all of my 3 AOEIII games as DEP is stopping it and/or protection stub (it happens with both). I found the John Barrett page on after doing a Google, and it explained how to disable the DEP for such problems, which I did. It also gave the re-enable process as well. I have tried to re-enable the DEP about 5 or 6 times now, following word for word what John Barrett has suggested for re-enabling DEP but to no avail.
It just will not enable? It's all greyed out and nothing works. Before I had to reformat last night, what I did was 'turn on DEP for all programs except those I select' and this worked once I had pointed DEP in the direction of the games and the other program that would not work. However, I cannot do anythig at all with the DEP now and I just don't know what the hell to do? Can anyone offer some kindly advice please, to a relative newb who knows nothing about this type of thing?
How Do I Enable Aero?
May 15, 2010I no longer have Aero theme enabled, and, I can't select it from the list. This has started after I had to format my drive and install Vista all over. Everything else with it seems just fine. Only this "Windows Vista Transparency" is not working. There is only one place I can think of to enable it at, and it is not there. Do I need to install some updates?
There should be another option there "Windows Vista Ultimate" I think, but I could be wrong.
But how do I enable transparency and all of the other effects of Aero?
How Enable Hyperthreading?
Feb 22, 2009Vista ultimate sp1. I upgraded the P4 processor. Enabled hyperthreading in the bios. PCwizard says the system can do hyperthreading, but it's disabled. Benchmarks indicate this is true. If I reload vista from scratch, hyperthreading is enabled and works. Benchmarks much better. I really don't want to have to reinstall from scratch. Is there a way to enable hyperthreading without a reinstall?

Pressing Fn + F9 Did Not Re-enable The Touchpad
May 4, 2008I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-033 running Vista Home Basic. I mostly use the laptop as a desk top replacement and, as I dislike using the touchpad, I disabled it, and instead I use an external mouse via one of the USB ports. On my laptop the standard way to disable the touchpad is by simultaneously pressing the Fn key and the F9 key. However, to be honest, I am not sure whether I did in fact disable the touchpad by this means, or whether I used some other means (if it was by some other means then I have forgotten what this was). Recently I wished to re-enable the touchpad so that I could use the laptop outside the house without having to take my external mouse with me as well. However, I found that pressing Fn + F9 did not re-enable the touchpad and I now can't use the touchpad at all.
If I go into mouse properties (in control panel), this tells me that my synaptics pointing device is enabled. If I go into device manager and look at "mice", I am told that my touchpad is working properly. All this makes me suspect that the problem is not a hardware fault but that I have altered some setting, with the result that my touchpad is permanently disabled until I change the setting back to its original state.
