Keyboard Directional Buttons Changed
Dec 5, 2009
I am new to these forums and I have come here for help.
I installed some Mods for Oblivion and my directional keys Uparrow and leftarrow have some how ended up with multiple functions
Uparrow is also esc, F12, b,n and Windows key
Left arrow is also F2 and PgDown
Ive tried restoring my system, deleting/reinstalling drivers, modifying the registry and even third party freeware like AutoHotkey and Keytweak but nothing works
I just want to reset them back to being up and left (i use the directional keys,numberpad, right shift and right control for all my first person shooters and have to relearn with WSAD something I dont want to have to do)
I am even considering getting another keyboard but somehow I dont think that will solve the problem. I deleted the System32 entries for my keyboard and it stopped functioning altogether. I unplugged and plugged it in again and it set up the system32 (installed generic drivers there and then ) and the keyboard functions again but my problem remains.

I checked the Users Guide and found reference to the mute volume control button but no where did it indicate how to change any settings.
How do I fix this?

How can we just turn only 3 buttons of window vista: "minimize, maximize, and close" into Mac OS X style? I just would like to change ONLY 3 of them, do not need to turn the whole system into MAC.

I have Vista on my laptop, along with Vista's Windows Mail and Windows Contacts. I switched to try Windows Live equivalents for a while. Now I am back with the Vista tools, but --My Contacts software is missing some of the buttons, like the one for
Creating Groups. There are no OPTIONS or CUSTOMIZE choices to make these hings 'appear' again.

I have HP Compaq 6710b Vista. I am trying to remove Quick Launch buttons, because they annoy me. Have tried everything, including uninstalling the QLB software Update: I have tried searching the registry for anything QLB-related, but only found following two locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows DefenderSoftware
ExplorersDisabled RunKeyRun
HKEY_USERSS-1-5-21-239277579-2818820354-3002204094-1006Software
MicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerControlPanel
These are just Disabled or Adjusted properties, and probably of no use. So to me it appears that there is nothing I can do using registry. Tried searching the hard drive for "qlb" or "quick launch", but apart from some folders and system log files, also little help (There were two folders "QLB" and "QLBTEMP" in C:/SWSetup. I tried removing these folders, and restarting computer, but QL buttons still work)....................

I am running vista Home Premium 32 bit and have just installed windows live mail and I love the ease of sending pictures with it. I do have a question about the toolbar though, it has no send/receive button. The WLM version says 2009 and the build is 14.0.8064.0206.

At the top of a newsgroup message that I have received there are two icons. One looks like a paper clip and the other looks like a pair of glasses. What are these for? I have the same question for reading email but for an exclamation mark, a paper clip and and what looks like a little flag? I did try using help from widows mail but couldn't find anything. I did a search for ! but search couldn't find this.

im having a problem with my fave game. Its an old one, Close Combat 5 from 2000. I can get the game to work in single player, no problem, but VISTA has for some reasons erased all the buttons in the multiplayer section so I can host or join via UDP, TCP.Why does Vista remove these buttons? Is there a security option to change so they are brought back? I dont use the firewall, but I see it has some options anyway, and the game has access like other games i do (that do work)Is there a way to allow connection via IP in vista, a way to fix my problem?

I don't have an arrow to the right of the padlock - the one that calls up the pop up menu for shutting down, restarting, etc. It was never there from the time I got the computer (installed at the HP factory). I can still access the menu if I carefully click on the border after the padlock, but shouldn't I have the arrow?

I recently got a laptop, I am very happy with it, but recently the taskbar has been annoying me, instead of displaying the opened program buttons (or whatever they are called, the ones that bring you to an allready opened window when you click them) on the left with a lot of room, the are displayed on the right, and only two buttons can be displayed at the same time, also, If I have two windows of the same type, the combine into a drop down (up) menu instead of seven or do being the minimum amount of same type windows before that happens.

There are two new power buttons on the Windows Vista start menu that behave differently than in previous versions of Windows. The main button, that looks like a power button actually puts your computer to sleep, not really turning it completely off. The other button locks your computer. I personally do not like putting my computer to sleep. I would rather turn it off completely to save some power and save some money on my electric bill when I am sleeping.
Follow the steps below to customize these button to work how you want them to work:
Click on the Start Menu and type in Power Options and hit Enter .....

It looks like after I was messing with the registry of my Acer Aspire 5720 I can't boot up properly :cry:.
After booting up I see the Windows Vista home premium text with Vista's
blue/green background and only two buttons. On the left is Ease of
Access and on the right is Shut Down/Restart/Sleep button.
I don't see the task bar, can't call the task manager with ctr-alt-del
no Start button, no desktop icons.
The safe mode starts fine (I'm writing this while in safe mode with networking).
I've tried repair windows option with no luck.
Startup recovery says: Could not detect a problem
System restore says: No restore points have been created
Complete PC restore: No valid backup locations could be found
When I start command prompt it starts ok with x:windowssystem32 if not little strange since I don't have an X drive . I've tried unsuccesfully to start windows explorer by going to c: and typingexplorer.exe.
This all started after I uninstalled Logmein software, or rather after I deleted all the remains of logmein in registry after I uninstalled the software.

I have this site whose link is Given that I use it quite frequently I would like it to appear as a button on one of the toolbars but the best I could do was add it to Favorites or to the Links drop down menu which to me is no different than Favorites because you still got to go through a drop down menu. I tried resizing the Links part of the toolbar so that it would be wider so that the links on the menu would actually show up as buttons on the toolbar but I could not drag it and I don't think it's possible. Anyone know how to add a link to internet explorer as a quick always visiable one-click button whose icon is the favicon for the site?

I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example:
1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled).
2. There are some folders (e.g. in my internet favourites) which are read-only and when I switch read-only off, it ignores what I've done - they remain read-only.

I have a job that runs at 3:10am every day and sends me an email with the
results. All the emails before the change to DST were timed with 3:10am.
when viewed on days b4 DST. Now after the change all of these emails are
timed at 4:10am. The job that ran on the 15th is timed at 3:10am.
All of my time related options appear to be correct.
Why did the time change on emails processed b4 DST???
This also happened to files and their 'Date Modified' as viewed in windows
explorer.
It now appears if I need to prove that I created a file or sent an email at
a particular time prior to DST, it will show up as happening an hour later
that when it really happened.

a couple of days ago i was playing starcraft, in the middle of my game vista suddenly closed everything and started to install updates...after it restarted, it had changed my resolution to 640x480 from 1440x900, changed my theme, and a few other random things. long story short, i now can't download or check for updates, they just don't download, and when my computer shuts down it tries to install updates but it just gets stuck...edit to add some specs: running vista home premium 32 bit on an hp dv9620us laptop.

I was unable to click on a link in an email (it was a link to an email address). I went to defaults/file associations and .lnk and set it to my mail program. Now I know that it changed every link on my desktop and in my program files, etc...to go to the mail program. There is no reset to the default association. I don't know what the default association was!

When I used to download digital kits it would download & a download box would open. I could double click and then the windows explorer directory would open. I could then double click the file to unzip and I could copy to folder but somehow I changed it.
Now when I try to download from a digital store it downloads and opens in windows photo gallery which opens all my photos but not that file. I tried right clicking to save but it won't let me, so my paid digital purchases can't be downloaded so I am going to lose those purchases (limited amount of downloads and days allowed).
I checked the default settings for zipped files which shows windows photo gallery is picked (was picassa but I thought trying something else might trigger windows to give me the original default but didn't happen so I just clicked windows photo gallery/notepad/internet explorer which really made my system go wonky and hubby did a system restore to yesterday to get rid of the glitch it caused) but won't let me pick windows internet explorer (its not there in the choices). I tried searching for windows internet explorer and nothing comes up.
Am I going to have to bring my system in and have everything redone? Its frustrating for me b/c I thought when I got the choice to have Picassa as default I thought it meant only photos. I had no idea that it would screw up my whole downloading system. Plus the fact that I made a purchase that my computer wont download so I bought something I can't have. Ugh...I hate that such trouble was caused by a single click.

I have a Vista Home Premium 32bit. Last night on the windows folder I changed ownership from trusted installer to my username for I could delete a file in (Downloaded Program Files). But after I changed the ownership of the folder back to trusted installer some of my programs (iTunes, Adobe Reader, Dell Dock, Microsoft Works, Modem Diagnostic, Windows Live Messenger, etc) changed to (.ink file). I can't even do restore point. I tried the File association fixes in File association fixes for Windows Vista but it did not work.

I'm on Vista Home Basic 32bit, and everyone should know how the icons and such look. I recently had to re-install a bunch of fonts due to them magically getting erased. Now, I noticed that I can't change the color of any actual windows, and the icons are slightly different. Old "X" button icon: Mythical new X button icon:
I went into the control panel and noticed I couldn't find the menu that usually lets you change the color of the windows and such. All I can see is this: What the eff is going on? And I did virus scans with two different programs - they found nothing.

Vista Home Premium, 32bit: I've read the tutorials here on how to enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention), but there are a few problems. First of all, there are two locations where different DEPs applications can be changed or turned off/on. The first one resides in the 'Advanced System Settings' > 'Performance' > Data Execution Prevention' tab. The two choices here are: Use DEP for Windows programs & Use DEP for all programs. Mine was set by default to the former, but when changed to the latter, web pages would no longer load ("server not found" or "unable to load..." So I had to reset to the default level. Q: What causes the problem? Is there a solution? Isn't my comp. better protected with DEP enabled for all programs? DEP's second residence is in IE > 'Internet Options' > 'Advanced' tab under 'Security.' The options here are to check or not box saying 'Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks.' The tutorial here tells me to right click on the IE7 exe. file, but I can't find it. Right clicking on IE in menu brings up 'Run as Admin' prompt then redirects/connects to 'hp.desktop.aol.com.' But by the time I get to the 'Enable memory protection...' box, it's grayed out & won't let me check it. Research says this is disabled by default. This is a new desktop. Shouldn't this DEP be enabled as well? .
