Windows 7 Pro 64Bit Is Eating Some Keystrokes
Aug 3, 2011
Today I had a power cut whilst using my PC, since then certain keys don't work. These are 1-6, r and a couple of others I can't remember (sorry). The 1-6 also doesn't work from the numpad.I have tried a different keyboard and the on-screen keyboard, both give the same result.But here's the interesting part, if I login as my admin user on the same machine, all keys work fine.So it appears to be an issue with my Limited user account. I've tried changing my keyboard region settings to US, but I had the same issue. I can't perform a system restore as I don't have it running and I can't restore from my backup as I've discovered it hasn't been backing up for the last few months
One solution would be to create a new limited user account, but in the past after a re-install it takes me a couple of weeks to get my user account configured exactly the way I like it. All those minor config changes you forget about in various applications. So I'm hoping their's an easier way.Does anyone know how I can reset the keyboard key bindings for my user account, or any other suggestions. I'm at a complete loss here, never come across this before.

Booted up from standby without a problem but when I restarted I am unable to enter my password into the prompt. Is it possible a key is stuck? I say this because if I press R the system goes into a reboot, however i doubt this is the problem. Also if I try and go into safe mode i am unable to go up and down?

I'm not able to get past the password login screen in Windows 7. It won't accept my keystrokes. I've tried doing a system restore, using F8 and using the last good configuration, booting from a Windows 7 CD, etc, with the same result.

I am running Windows 7 64bit. From time to time (every few days), I get something eating all my available memory (going from 2 GB to 12 GB in a few minutes). I cannot pinpoint the process doing this. And then 20 minutes later the memory goes back to normal. I noticed that the second process eating the most memory (svchost.exe (secsvcs)) is gone right after that.

When I click on the Calculator shortcut, it pops right up on my desktop, but unless I click on the actual calculator, it doesn't accept any of my keystrokes to enter numbers. Is there a way around this?

I am running Windows 7, 64bit with 12 GB of RAM. My memory usage is usually around 2-3 GB. About once a day, Windows Defender eats all my memory. For a few minutes the computer is slow (even if running i7-980) then Defender releases the memory and everything is back to normal. I know it's Windows Defender because as soon as I see memory going high, if I stop the Windows Defender service, the memory goes right back to normal.
Is there anything I can do except disabling the service?

setting up an Acer netbook for a friend and come put in her email the @ comes out as " and vice versa.
Thiscan only be a software or hardware problem if the latter then I've spent the best part of four hours of setting up and Windows updates.

My laptop's keyboard appears to be broken. It constantly send keystrokes and at the sametime I cannot do any inputing. This prevents me from even going into setup menu (F2) at startup, and I cannot boot with another OS because of this. how I can disable the keyboard externally? I will try deleting the keyboard driver if I can manage booting into windows. EDIT: So I have uninstalled the driver nd bought an external keyboard. It worked perfectly. However somehow the computer installed the driver back and the problem came back. How would you stop the computer from reinstalling drivers by itself?

I've noticed WmiPrvSE.exe eating up a ton of my cpu, i know i need to re-paste my cpu but it shouldn't be idling this hot or using 50%+ idling. It is in the system32 folder and it isn't a virus from what i can see. [code]

Ok i installed Windows 7 but i did a reformat of vista and removed the trash and bloatware that came with my computer. Before i did this my vista would run at 1.4 to 1.7 gigs of ram. I did what i said and upgraded to Windows 7 and noticed that i was running at 740mb or ram and i was very happy. But after being on for a couple of minutes my ram usage went from 740mb to 2.2 gigs.
I looked at what was eating it up and i have 2 svhost that are eating massive amounts. But not everytime i boot only about 80% of the time. I never had this with vista it was a constant 1.4 to 1.7 unless i was gaming.

I access my Internet via a wireless USB Modem Stick. Living in South Africa, Internet usage is sky high. I would like to know how to monitor my Internet usage. I.ow, which precise programs are running stealthily and eating up my data. I can actually see from my Modem Interface how the data is consumed.I would also like to know How do I use Wireshark to capture wireless traffic? Do I require an add-on card to do this?

Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't work with Outlook 2010 if installed as 64 bit. Microsoft says to "fix" this by uninstalling Office 2010 and installing the 32 bit version!My question is are there any 3rd-party sync programs that will work with Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft Office Outlook 64 bit and Windows Mobile 6.5 devices? I don't need to sync email but I do need to sync calendar, contacts, and tasks. And yes, I am aware that the iphone will sync with it! Silly Microsoft. I have 1.5 years left on my mobile contract with my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?

My computer got the BootMGR is missing problem, which I have had in the past which is not that big. I insert the Windows 7 64 Ultimate disk it starts up everything fine, press repair my computer and it finds the installation. But when I press on it and next it has an error pop up saying "This version of system recovery options is not conpattble with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that i compatible with this version of Windows." If I dont select anything but press next it allows me to look at the screen Im supposed to, but if I go to command prompt or click autmatically repair nothing will be saved or changed. This is the same disc I installed Windows with and repaired it several times. But I did have to reset BIOS earlier so this may have affected something.

I want to upgrade from the ancient Windows XP to 7. I currently have 2GB in memory (i have more in stock, but with the limitations on the 32-bit client, it won't affect anything). I want a total of 8GB Memory to have a smoother time with my computer.According to my specs, I am running a AMD Athlon x2 250. I am currently running Windows XP 32-bit. I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit. I know that my CPU is in the X86 family. As with that, I will not be able to run the 64-bit version of Windows 7. But according to spec of the CPU, it says it has 64-bit support.

I'm thinking about getting a 4TB HDD for storage (slave drive, no OS). Would Windows 7 64bit handle this without RAID? Or would I need to partition the drive?

I'm planning to install windows 7 64 bit on my computer, so i did some research. By downloading the win 7 upgrade advisor they said my computer is ready for upgrade but my biggest concern is that my VGA(winfast gtx 280) doesn't seem to have windows 7 driver and i lost the cd also(but it's downloadable). The easy transfer from microsoft is also my concern because my computer is infected with a bunch of viruses, and i definitely don't want to bring them with me.
My full specs:
-Intel core 2 quad Q9550
-Mobo(forgot what it was)
-V-gen DDR2 2GbX2
-VGA: Winfast gtx 280

I just upgraded my cpu,mobo,ram and HDD recently and I am having some issues. I have the Phenom ll 3.2ghz 1090T amd cpu with the ASRock 970 Extreme 3 mobo with 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance ram. My problem is that when I try to use my ram, my pc freezes on the Starting windows screen while the bubbles are coming together to make the microsoft logo. I am using my old ram that is a 2gb 1333 ram. I have another stick of the same ram but I am unable to use that as well. My OS has all its updates and I am completely stuck right now and a lil frustrated. I have consulted many people and nothing has worked.

I was looking to upgrade to 64-bit Windows so I could purchase more RAM, I was told that the Windows installation disc comes with 32-bit and 64-bit, but my disc says ' Windows 7 Professional 32-bit x86 Upgrade' If it does come with the 64-bit, how do I install it?
Can I download a 64-bit ISO and use my product key to activate it?

Last night all was fine. This morning I boot and my AV (Avast!) does not start. I tried to open excel file and I get "There was a problem sending a command to the program". Cannot open FF, but IE(64) works. Cannot run Malwarebytes, changed name to myapp.exe, and myapp.com - no luck, even in safe mode. Tried to run TDSSkiller, safe mode, tried renaming, nothing...
