Is it possible to get Windows 7 to use 2 keyboard BUT where the 2nd keyboard has separate inputs associated with it? This is regarding a flight simulator, where I want to use a 2nd keyboard as an input panel, effectively doubling my assignable keys. Is there some hack, 3rd part app or other way to do this in Windows 7?

Also, I have tried other USB ports on PC as well.I called ASUS, they were ready to RMA the MOBO for me, which I bought back in 2009! Then he said it could be a Microsoft issue..This all started when I switched to 2x120 SSD's in a RAID 0 Configuration, but was probably like this and didn't notice because I had to wait 3-5 minutes for the computer to start up. My computer will boot up and I can get on the web in about 15 seconds now, but can't use the keyboard...
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in Windows 7 Media Center to switch between video inputs without going through the hassle of repeating the setup process?
I have an ATI TV Wonder 650 PCI Express card that can accept input from the following:
* OTA digital signals including High Def. I like the way Windows 7 Media Center integrates OTA channels with the cable channels.
* Cable input from a small STB provided by my cable company for use with older analog TVs not served directly by my main cable STB. I believe this is now the only way I'm able to get regular cable on my computer. Channel-changing is accomplished by the Media Center remote controlling the small STB.
* S-Video and audio input from my main cable STB. With this input, Media Center sees whatever the main STB is tuned to, including Hi-Def channels degraded to S-Video quality. I can even see DVR playback and record it in MC.
I can also record Hi-Def signals on my computer using CapDVHS and a firewire connection. This didn't work under Windows 7 at all until I downgraded the IEEE 1394 driver to the legacy driver. But right now this is a separate issue from my main question, which is:
Is there a way in Windows 7 Media Center to switch easily between the cable input and the S-Video input? I can do this with a few clicks in ATI's MultiMedia Center software under WinXP, but that software doesn't run under Vista or Windows 7. So I'm trying to get Media Center to do the same thing. Sometimes it's easier just to record a Hi-Def broadcast directly via S-Video to edit it for DVD than to capture via firewire and deal with conversion then.
Ideas, anyone?
I have one of the more odd situations I've run into, and of course it's on my computer vs one that I'm trying to repair. Keyboard inputs don't get recognized within some flash games.
Have Win7 x64 with a Microsoft Sidewinder X6, also have a Nostromo. neither will work singularly, neither will work together in several flash games. They do work in some, just not all.
Have tried to update drivers, have tried checking in device manager and uninstalling both then reinstalling each individually and they continue to do similar within those. Have a similar problem in Firefox as well as Chrome. Flash version is: 10,3,181,26
problem also exists in Duke Nukem Forever, but although the problem is similar, I think it's a distinct problem there as some inputs work and all inputs work in some instances but just in gameplay that it isn't working and allowing me to move and/or control two examples of ones that don't work, and one that does: [URL] Also works flawlessly in Battlefield Bad Company 2 and numerous other games.

I have a hdmi switcher from monoprice that I use to switch input between my pc and my ps3. I have a dell 2407 monitor.
I just recently upgraded to win 7 from vista, but I noticed something. when I switch to ps3 and back to pc via the switcher, my app windows get re-sized, as if the resolution changed and changed back.
For example, firefox and my AIM buddy list would shift to the left and get re-sized.
This didn't happen in vista, all my programs stayed in place.
Anyone know how to fix this? I have the monitor drivers installed.
For some reason the computer that I am trying to fix won't discover any keyboard that I plug it into, USB wise. I have tried multiple working USB keyboards and none of them work on the computer. It is Windows 7 for the OS. There are no PS/2 ports to try out the old keyboards. The computer recognizes all the other USB accessories like the mouse and flash drives. For some reason whenever you turn on the comp, as if you were hitting F8 to choose to boot it to safe mode, the keyboard works and you can use it to choose and option. Also, when the the computer asks you to put in the password it works then as well but as soon as it is logged in, it doesn't work anymore.

I wish I'd done a system restore when the problem was still fresh but I didn't think of that immediately, and it's been several months now since it started. Keyboards work fine in BIOS, but not in safe mode. All attempts at updating or reinstalling drivers have not resolved the issues.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 5 hard drives in my system and I have installed windows 7 x64 on 2 separate drives and done this within windows. However a few times it booted okay but then started hanging on the post where it states verifying DMI pool data. Subsequently I tried everything to repair as I thought that the MBR was probably corrupted.
I have installed windows separately now on each drive by disconnecting all drives except the one that I am installing and then shut that down, disconnected it and connected the next and installed a fresh copy there to.
I am concerned that windows will corrupt the MBR again when I connect the drives one by one. I am not overly optimistic about windows boot manager and its reliability.

I have Windows 7 on a 30GB SSD, and a 2TB HD I keep most of my games and whatnot on. I want to learn Objective C programming and Cocoa Touch for developing Apps. But to the point, I need to run the SDK. I can't do that on Windows (I think) and buying a Mac just to learn programming is out of the question. I may be able to build a hackintosh, but I'd rather not. That being said, I want to know if I can create a Dual Boot system where Windows 7 is my main/default OS, and have a separate Hard drive for the OS x leopard. I've seen some tutorials stating on how to partition ONE drive. I don't want that. I want two separate drives. One only for OS X, and the other only for Windows 7. Is this possible? I'm willing to buy a 1 TB drive and get it going. Have Windows 7 and OSX. Want both on my PC without having to partition one drive. Want separate drives for each OS.

I've done this on one HDD successfully and due to conflicts with additional software I wish to reinstall Windows 7 on a completely new HDD (on the same machine). This way I can keep both programs separate also leaving me with an additional OS in case the other fails. I plan to use the BIOS to switch to the other drive (boot order) when I wish to use the other software on occassion. I plan on backing up my files onto an external drive. So my question is as such, can I load Windows 7 onto a separate drive and switch the drive of which to boot from to achieve my goal?

For some reason the Windows 7 install Users folder with all the data in it is being copied to the WindowsDocuments & Settings folder of the old data. Also another weird thing is if I delete any of the mirrored files from Partition B x:WindowsDocuments & SettingsXXXX on they will also be removed from Partition A's x:UsersXXXX. Its driving me a little crazy, if anyone knows what could be happening please let me know whats going on. One more thing, I have unmounted Partition B to see if the files are sym linked from Partition A, but it doesn't seem like the folders are sym linked as the files still accessible while Partition B is unmounted. One more thing is that the only data being replicated is the Primary User account and everything that resides in it.
