On Screen Keyboard Bringing Up Last Used Program?
Apr 6, 2012
I use on screen keyboard a bit and have the problem that when I have multiple programs running when I click on the task bar to bring up keyboard (already running) it brings up the last program I was using before the one I am currently on. E.g. may be using windows live mail and then click over to IE and then click on task-bar to bring up on screen keyboard and it will come up ok but also re-maximize or bring to top windows live mail.

I needed to copy files between two PCs and didn't have a USB big enough so I took the HDD out of my Dell Vista laptop and used it as an external drive to transfer the files I needed moving. When I connected it up to the destination PC running windows 7, the drive couldn't be seen in explorer. I had to bring the drive online in Disk Management in order to be able to explore the drive and take the files I needed off of it. All was OK until I put the drive back in the Vista laptop and then found that the drive wouldn't boot. All I get is a blinking cursor after the initial Dell logo screen. like as if the BIOS can't load the drive or something.Can someone please tell me what bringing a drive online in Disk Management does to the MBR of that drive?

My laptop has a button which used to trigger software (Acer PowerSmart Manager) which was supposed to reduce power consumption through undisclosed methods. The program was an irritation since it overrode screen brightness settings (actually making the screen brighter than I wanted it) and could not be customised so I uninstalled it. I would like to reasign the button to opening a program called GameBooster which I can use to close down many programs at once and restart them all again at a suitable time. The problem is that I don't know a) how to find out the scan code of this peculiar key (I think it might actually simulate two or more regular keys being pressed at the same time) nor b) how to make this trigger the execution of the GameBooster program (preferably without running an additional application). Surely Windows 7 has the capacity do this built in?

I'm on Windows 7 and have run into the annoyance of my PrtScn key actually bringing up the print dialog box to print. It still copies the screen to the clipboard for a paste into paint, but I can't figure out why it's bringing up the dialog to print or how to turn that off. I have seen it before maybe 8 years ago on Windows XP but do not remember what was done to correct it. When I try to search, I just find posts about it not working or how to turn the whole screen capture function off for the PrtScn button.

Some background; I am a quadriplegic and use a combination of a mouth operated mouse, voice recognition and the on-screen keyboard to control the PC. I also have a high level of PC knowledge (I used to be an IT consultant) but I have been unable to resolve the following issue.
Sometimes when I hover over the onscreen keyboard to type in an application (like notepad) it will automatically switch to the last application I was typing in (like firefox or Internet Explorer). It does not happen all the time and it does not happen if I use the applications in quick succession (i.e. directly one after the other).
An example, say I have been using firefox and the on-screen keyboard to fill out an online form then I might go move some files around from one hard drive to another. Then I might start Word and dictate a letter using voice recognition (without touching the on-screen keyboard). Then I might need to go back to Windows Explorer to rename a file, so I get file ready to be renamed go to type the name in using the on-screen keyboard and as soon as the cursor goes over the On-screen keyboard it will switch to firefox and make it the active window.
I have tried many times to replicate this to find a distinctive pattern but I have been unsuccessful and it seems to be very much random and quite annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and if so have they been able to resolve it.

I reinstalled (Windows 7 Pro x64) on my computer. I want to configure the available keyboard layouts at the login screen. For now, there's 4 different layouts at the login screen and it has keyboard layout French (France) on default.When I got in windows, I configured so it only had the good one (French (Canada))(I deleted all the useless ones) but when I logged out, it still had the 4 same keyboard layouts at login screen. Even the default one wasn't the one I hoped it would use.

I NEED a way to open multiple instances of the Windows On-Screen Keyboard at once. Right now, if i try to open it a second time, it opens the first one (doesnt create a new instance).
i have been to many forums on the internet and still cant find a clear solution. I considered getting a third party control for this, but even they are opening only once.

how can i choose a user in the win 7 welcome screen using only the keyboard (without using the mouse)?
I'm hoping there is some sort of key combination that may be used to choose the user so that i won't have to use the mouse in order to login.
I would prefer not having to change the standard welcome screen to the domain login screen in which i believe it is possible. I'm using Win 7 professional.

I have started using an ASUS slate and find the Windows on-screen keyboard almost impossible to use because of the way the keys flash after you touch them (or even hover over them) - the fade delay is way too long resulting in a mass of flashing keys when typing with any sort of speed. I would have expected this to be a setting under the keyboard options or general personalization but no amount of digging or Google searching has turned anything up for me. Does anyone know how I can turn this off or at least reduce the fade delay time?
