Is this possible to do within XP, or with some program I can install

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a friends PC, a gateway P4 2.6, winxp home. The mouse and keyboard up and died. He had a kvm switch, the electronic kind when it stopped functioning. I have tried usb, ps2 everything. The keyboard works on bootup, so I can get into bios etc... but when it gets to the windows screen, nothing. No mouse or keyboard. Safe mode is the same thing. Dont want to format and reinstall windows. On that note, I did try a repair, when it asks for admin password it wont accept it. Says invalid admin password.. The password IS windows admin password though. With no mouse even in safemode, and windows not accepting my admin password during repair,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just finished assembling my new build. It boots and I can get to the BIOS. I even have it booting from the DVD drive so I can load Win XP.However, when I get to the Windows Setup and it asks me if I want to setup windows(press enter), Repair(some other key), quit(F3) my keyboard won't work. I hit "Enter" because I want to install XP and nothing happens. It is not responding to my keyboard strokes.
This is strange because the keyboard works in the BIOS.
My friends keyboard is not working. When she turns the computer on no lights come up on the keyboard. Have tried another keyboard and still the same. Unable to get into the computer to check bios etc as there is a password on the account.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am lost some of my short cuts will not work. When I select a short cut all of the shorcuts vanish for two seconds then reappear with nothing activated. Not all short cuts are effected Just Windows explorer, My computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin & Control Panel. Earlier in the day when the icon failed I could right click and it would work. I could enter my programs and start the application that way also. I Have office and all the icons work for that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed and used Registry Mechanic and decided to accept to repair abut Four Hundred faults as I noticed I could reverse the repair if there were any problems. I am delighted to say that there were none but I noticed that the box for repairing shortcuts was not ticked. On ticking it I was found to have about four hundred faults again connected with shortcuts, can I safely repair these problems as I did the first lot or should I know about something before I decide to use the repair function again, I would be grateful for some advice as I am new to Registry Mechanic

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got moved and settled in but this computer won't allow new shortcuts that I create on the desktop to function. I just get an empty IE window with nothing there and source code is empty too so it's not getting out though the IE shortcut to yahoo does function properly but that is also the home page for this puter.Got DSl hooked up too so I haven't figured if that may have some influence on this issue. I called them, they know nothing about it so in the mean time I'm saving addies in notepad.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am an older "newbie" and find some issues considerably frustrating. I am running Windows XP Pro on a Compaq laptop. I have installed all Windows XP and IE service pack updates and try to keep my McAfee virus checker and firewall up to date.I have a number of desktop shortcuts pointing to web pages that up until a few days ago worked fine with IE. When I booted up the other day, none of the shortcuts worked. In researching my problem on the Microsoft site I tumbled to this resource. So as not to waste your time, I have been through most if not all of the threads dealing with shortcuts and tried every recommended action before I posted my problem. I have also reinstalled IE from the XP disk, but the shortcuts still do not work. I have not reinstalled XP Pro.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOk, so I had recently uninstalled Mozilla Firefox. After I did, when ever I save a shortcut of a webpage to the desktop, it wont open without asking me either to browse the internet to find a program to open it, or choose one from a list. So, I choose IE to open it, check the appropriate box to always use that program, and it still doesn't work. Even the shortcut looks white and not like it used to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am fond of windows shortcuts, and I've put together a number of them (CTRL-ALT-_) to streamline my work.What happens sometimes is that they stop working - why is that? I have 6 folders shortcut'ed, for example, and if I close all folders, then any shortcut will work once. If a folder that has a shortcut is open, then no other folder shortcut will work until that folder is closed.Some shortcuts work always never a problem. Others work sometimes, not other times. I have my shortcuts folder in my start/programs folder. I read once where they had to be in one of two places, and one of those was the programs folder.
I did find that if Reflection (Unix terminal screen app) was running, and a portion of the screen was highlighted with the mouse as if you were going to copy it to clipboard, that it would stop some shortcuts from running. It's a mystery to me, and I've wondered about it for so long, I thought I would finally ask the forum if they had any clues.
