I'm playing a lot and when using mumble, I use a "Push to talk" function.The problem is that I need a key which interacts with nothing else, as I also talk when on IRC, on browsing the net. how to create another key (brand new, without any use) so I can use it on Mumble as Push-to-Talk key?
View 1 RepliesI don't know if I hit some key combo or what but I was typing a letter in word pad and suddenly my typing is in all caps. I have used a reg file to disable my caps lock key on this laptop because it gets in my way - a long time ago. I know it cannot be the caps lock key. I do not have a shift key sticking.
I saved the letter, then copied it to Polyedit another word processor, and it still types in all caps. Firefox does not seem to be effected. I even tried rebooting and nothing helped.
using windows 7 home premium 64bit with office xp, while typing a letter, halfway through I noticed that caps lock was on but the caps lock light indicator was not, whether I have the caps lock button pressed or not I just write in capital letters and as this is a business letter I don't want that so I must have pressed some button

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen ever i have any type of screen open (i.e. the internet, a game, word, Photoshop, ect.) and i hit the caps lock key, my computer takes me off of the program i was using. It did not exit out of it, its just the same as if you are typing, click on the task bar, then have to re-click on the computers window of the program to continue using it. This is very annoying when it comes to typing long essays.
View 5 Replies View RelatedA week ago I spilled some water inside my laptop keyboard. At the beginning I couldn't type at all, but now the only problem I have is whenever I click the "n" or "b" keys the caps lock turns on (but the letters appear). Clicking on the actual caps lock key doesn't work.
I think the solution wouldn't be to map the caps lock key, but to completely disable its function (as if caps lock function doesn't exists in the system).
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise, and my laptop is HP Pavilion dv9750
On my laptop I don't get the quick image on my screen when I turn my caps lock on/off like I do when I turn my mute on/off, brightness up/down or sound up/down. It's quite annoying as there is no light on my keyboard or anything to tell me so if I have to find out whether I've got caps lock on I have to type something into a text box where the text is visible (unlike a secret password box).
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I hit Caps Lock in Windows 7 an alert (picture of a padlock in grey) icon appears indicating I have turned it on or off. While the alert is showing no input from the keyboard is accepted. This is frustrating because I usually hit Caps Lock and type immediately, and then find about 6 letters have not been accepted. The speed of the system (laptop) is otherwise OK. Is there a way to reduce the time the alert shows, or turn it off altogether?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've played several games on Windows 7 now. Every game I've played I have had problems when I hit the caps lock key. When I push it the computer goes back to the desktop and then two things will happen. I can't even go back to the game when clicking the icon on the taskbar or when I click on the icon the game will open back up within a window (instead of full screen). The game that won't open back up is operation flashpoint: dragon rising and the game that opens in a window is assassins creed.This doesn't seem to be a problem others are experiencing, because I can't find any information on the issue. Also I believe it's a Windows 7 issue rather than my hardware because it never happened when using Vista.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI use two keyboard layouts on my computer--English and Russian. I switch between the two using left Ctrl+Shift. I want to remap my keyboard so that in both keyboard layouts my "caps lock" key does nothing and my "insert" key becomes a caps lock key.
Attached are a couple of screen shots of what I currently have in my registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.
I guess I may have accidentally disabled some drivers or something, but I have been doing everything I could to get it back, but I failed.1. I tried restoring it using ATKpackage .. repaired + complete reinstall. ( my laptop is an Asus )2. Tried entering keyboard settings, but couldn't find a related option.3. Tried editing the registry -->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Widcomm > BTConfig > General > KeyIndicationBut mine is already at "1", not "0" .

I tried taking the battery out connecting to ac still no luck:

Every time I press caps lock, to turn on or turn off, I can't keep typing until some process completes. The icon for capson/capsoff comes onscreen, and while it's there I can't keep typing, until some time passes.

View 3 Replies View Relatedissue has affected me so badly that I have had to put my studies on hold.About 2 weeks ago I bought a Samsung Series7 chronos 14 inch netbook with windows7 and I am happy with it and the system but every time I turn caps on or off (which is often as I write and use caps a lot) the big display pops up saying caps on caps off; as well as being annoying to the extreme for me,it stops me typing for a couple of seconds.I have googled this issue and even gone to another forum,someone said to me to contact the manufacturer (aka samsung) and samsung has given me a link from a forum as an answer.Nothing I have tried has worked so far.There is mention of it being a software driver issue,to go to regedit and the like.I set some value key to 0 and didn't work.Can anyone give me a solution and be clear with the answer and treat me like a beginner and explain what to do with clear steps?I am about to have a breakdown and frustrated as I fail to see who thought this pop up display is of any use? and why force it/impose it on the user?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that some of the icons I added to my desktop periodically disappear because they aren't used frequently.
I'm guessing this would have to do with something similar to the "Desktop Cleanup Wizard" in XP. How can I turn off this functionality in Windows 7? I really don't want to have to keep adding back icons that I may not use daily.
I seem to have some problem of being overbloated with old instances of COM ports from old drivers versions which evidently these drivers don't bother to free when updated/uninstalled. I'm using Atheros BT Suite which always after installation/update assigns to all BT devices a brand new set of COM# ports, completely ignoring to reuse the old ports. See the picture. So eachtime I update driver, my BT devices get assigned completely new COM ports for communication which results that all application software used to communicate with these devices have to be resetup to new COM port numbers, quite stupid isn't it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a lot of noise, amongst not in particularly, high-power users,but also simple home or office users about open ports, net, web ports, being used,either from Windows itself or applications. DCOM is an example of a Windows service,that is "listening" to the net,but also sends data through out it. Skype does that all the time.What about those open ports, can they be "closed'? Should they be closed,for safety reasons,not to allow to be used by malware, spyware, hackware?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis all started when one day my G930 Logitech headset started becoming a pain in the ass to use. I had the charging dock plugged into one of the two USB ports behind my HP ZR30w monitor.Then after a few days I began to get a USB Device Not Recognized Error constantly. Like you hear the Windows Pinging sound when you connect and disconnect a USB device all the time. Its like spamming me with the sound. I tracked it down to this USB port, Port_#0001.Hub_#0011 (which is the USB port behind my monitor HP ZR30w, it is the inner most USB on the back.I ran virus scans, spyware scans and nothing shows up, I had to rule out any fishy stuff. I have no idea how to get this error to stop showing up...it literally spams me with the error and sound when nothing is plugged in to that port...as I am typing this its yelling at me.The catch is though, this is when the USB port is empty...nothing is plugged into it...it is like a phantom USB port that is just going haywire...Now if I plug a device in to it...the device works fine and the USB Device error does not show up, but for instance in this case, my G930 headset ends up disconnecting and reconnecting and throwing me errors...Is this a bad USB port? I am running Windows 7 64bit. I tried disabling the USB port all together but it still shows that a device is attempting to connect to that port and is not being recognized.Also I have updated all my drivers, updated my motherboard, the only thing i have not done is reinstall USB controllers but i do not know how to do that. In the process of finding the problematic USB port I ended up mapping all the USB ports and their numbers so how I found out which USB port it was, was due to trial and error and finding it was the one behind my monitor.
