Lost All Keyboard And Mouse Functions?

Jun 12, 2010

I usually dont beg, however, I have lost all keyboard and mouse funcitons in my computer and this happened directly after I installed my new Keyboard by Kensington PilotBoard. I have other 2.4Ghz wireless by Logitech as well as ps/2 and usb wired keyboards and mice by microsoft and logitech. It all was ok, the kensington mouse was not smooth so getting the buttons or whatever was recommended and went to the website for the 'most up to data' software. that was the end. after a reboot i have been lost. The computer boots up and actually functions in its serverlike capacity with its internet cable and for the center of the little home network. i just can not make the cursor arrow move. no keyboard input, I tried safe mode, nothing. I tried Safe Mode with Command Prompt, cant write a command even if i knew what to put in there. NO Safe Mode operation of usb, wired mouse or keyboard. I went to cmos and made all changes to basics , no good. but the only time the keyboard will work is directly in the bios . But not any Bios change I made had any impact on the lost functions.Since I built it myself, I have a back up or restore disc but can not access that. i can not roll anything back , cant get to device manager. or at least I havent been able to make it do anything but a boot. i do the reset to give me the options of another start in safe mode but it still has no key or mouse functions .

Win 7 Stability Is Enhanced When It Is Upgraded From Vista

Jan 26, 2009

I have three machines in my house running Seven. However I will focus on two.

1.) MSI Mobo, AMD 4200+, 2GB RAM, etc. (Look in my stats for the desktop)

2.) HP 6735s, AMD Turion X2, 2.5GB RAM, 256MB Dedicated Radeon HD 3200.

The MSI ran Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I had everything I wanted on there so I didn't want to do a clean install. Once the Seven upgrade finished, it was fantastic. The only program that I already had that didn't work was Daemon Tools. However AIM still worked, and you can't install AIM from Windows Seven.

Now on my laptop, it came with Vista, but I wanted Seven. So I did a clean install, because I didn't want all that HP garbage that comes with them. Now I have an issue with sleep. When my PC goes to sleep, and I wake it back up, it runs ok, but then when I go through certain tasks it hangs.

Sometimes if I awake it with my wireless off, it won't come back on, it won't recognize plugged in add ons, and when I go file searching it hangs, like if indexing is messed up. I am considering, rolling back, getting Vista all the way to SP1, downloading AIM, and whatever else I need, and just upgrading it like I did my PC.

Also, the third PC which is a Dell does not perform as well as it should, but does fine in Vista.

I am not a Windows expert, but from deduction, I can conclude that Windows Seven stability is greatly enhanced when it is upgraded from Windows Vista.

Upgraded From Vista To Windows 7 - Files Are Gone?

Oct 1, 2010

I've installed the Windows 7 upgrade from Vista onto my C drive - I was careful about making sure I didn't do a custom installation because I wanted to keep my files and programs. After the installation - my programs are still installed, the file folders are still there, but the folders on my D drive are empty. My music, photo, video, and document libraries are completely emptyOther threads have said to look in the Windows.old folder but there is no Windows.old folder on my computer. I had a few folders with documents on the desktop that are intact - so why would it delete some files but not others?

WMC Setup - Upgraded From Vista Premium?

May 31, 2011

Going through an upgrade to Windows 7 (Ultimate x64 from Vista Home Premium x64) and saved the media center setup for last before I move my files back to the original locations. However, I am having problems with the TV setup. I have made no hardware changed during the upgrade and have been using the Hauppague 2250 WIN TV HVR-2250. I reinstalled the WMC specific drivers for Widows 7 and went through the process, and to summarize, no go. Setup manually and went to a channel to check this and got the message "Files needed to display video are not installed or are not working correctly. Restart Windows Media Center or restart computer." I am just connecting the OTA antenna and pulling the local digital signals (no cable) so it is just limited to that signal. Here is where I think the problem may have originated.During the setup, I relocated all default user profile directories to another partition (away from the standard system drive) through the registry. I am assuming that doing this, I moved the file location where the source file is directed to this partition and WMC is still looking in the "default" location for the video source so I will need to edit the registry to change the default location to the new user profile location.

How I drew this conclusion:I went ahead and installed WinTV v.7 because i wanted to record some old VCR footage through the s-video connection. Was having similar problems where the program was reverting to the default location (the "C" drive), and it was not picking up the TV signal. I changed the default location (to locate the "buffer" and "data" file in the program to the new user location and that straightened everything out for that program. So the assumption is that WMC is experiencing the same problem and i need to modify the default location in the registry to redirect WMC.

1. Are there multiple registry edits that need modified or is there a single location where these edits need to take place.

2. Since you do not have an option to edit directly in WMC, if I make these changes in the registry, reboot & restart the WMC setup process, will the setup process automatically revert to the original ("C" drive) location or will these changes hold through the setup process and I can go through the automatic setup process without problems. (Or do i have to go with the manual process).

Email Lost When Upgrading To Windows 7 From Vista?

Jan 23, 2012

I purchased an HP laptop running Vista just when Windows 7 was coming out. It included a coupon to upgrade to Windows 7. I ordered the upgrade disks.I finally ran the upgrade to Windows 7 including performing the suggested backup of all my files on a separate hard drive. The instructions indicated that I would be saving my email and contacts that was a part of Windows Mail. Now that I am running Win 7, I don't have access to Windows Mail and I don't know where my email files might reside.What can I do now to gain access to my old emails and contracts?

Win Vista And Seven Dual Boot Programs

Jul 27, 2009

Okay so I set up a new partition on my hard drive to boot Windows 7 from, so that I could have both Vista and Windows 7 on my laptop. However, is there a way that Windows 7 can use all of the programs and files I already have in my Vista partition? I can manually go over and start them, but they aren't on my "Programs" list in Windows 7 or the start menu or anything.

is there any way to automatically integrate all my files/programs with both my operating systems? I don't think I should have to download two instances of google chrome or firefox. you know? Any insight would be appreciated. I am new to dual booting. This is is the first OS i have ever installed myself.

Running Programs Created Under Vista On Windows 7?

I am about to install Windows 7 64 bit on a new-build PC, so it will be a new install and on a new formatted hard drive. I have three other hard drives on which all the program and other files were created under Vista 32 bit. I know I can transfer the files which are installed on my Vista boot hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer, but when I am running Windows 7 will it recognise all the programs and files on the existing drives if I just leave them there?

Replacing Vista - Drivers And System Programs

Dec 5, 2009

I have a brand new Toshiba laptop with Vista. It arrived just a few days before the Windows 7 release so I put the Toshiba aside and waited for the free Windows 7 upgrade disk, which just arrived.

Since I haven’t used the Toshiba yet, there’s no data or personal programs to protect. I don’t want to keep Vista, and of course I don’t want to keep all the bloatware. Currently, Vista is on the C disk; there is a recovery or backup partition (D); and E is free for data. The Toshiba did not come with a Vista restore disk so I will burn recovery disks with Vista before I install Windows 7.

Like everyone, I want a fresh, clean sparkling brand-new install of Windows 7. I can follow the tutorials to boot from the Windows 7 upgrade disk, go to advanced tools and re-format the partition with Vista (i.e. C) and then install Windows 7. I should have no problem with registration or activation since Windows 7 will see Vista before it’s deleted. I’m not 100% clear whether the recovery partition (D) will be maintained but it shouldn’t matter much because I’ve got recovery disks … right?

My two questions:

1) Do I need to worry about losing my drivers in this scenario? Should I be taking a copy of all drivers ahead of time, and if so, is there somewhere (on the Toshiba) I can easily find them all? Or will they all be on the recovery disks I burn, should I need them?

2) What about the one or two Toshiba-specific programs I might want to keep, like Config-free and facial recognition software? Are they gone with the clean install, or can I also get them off the recovery disks (or recovery partition, if it still exists post-clean install)?

Is there anything else I need to know before I get started?? I’d like to make this as painless as possible ..

Changing Key Functions

Jul 15, 2009

So what i want to do is change my key functions on my keyboard (example: rather than ctrl-c i want to use command-c "aka windows-c")but i don't want to change the command key to be ctrl but make it so windows recognizes it as copy when i push command-c also want to change other stuff like ctrl-alt-del and paste and closing windows

the reason i don't want to change command to ctrl is if im in an application that i need to control i want to be able to hit the actual ctrl key.

i basically want to make my windows feel a little more like macintosh not in the way of looks but function of keys. hope it makes sense and hope someone knows how to do it.

Having problems with the Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down functions after struggling trying to get a defective external disk drive enclosure to work.When I use any of the above functions the computer shuts down.

I do have "store recently opened programs" checked as well as the second option "store and display recently opened... etc"this seems not to have any effect.I tried a system restore prior to the update, no change.how to restore this function?
