I made a macro that checks a cell with the current date with a cell containing the last date it was opened. If the date it was last opened is less then the current date, it takes everything from the ';current'; row and puts it in the ';previous'; row, then changes the last date it was opened to the current date. It works fine, but to run it I have to use a keyboard shortcut. How can I get it to run the macro automatically every time I open the spreadsheet without having to use the shortcut?Macro automatically run when opening Excel 2003?

Linux Help- Volume Control Malfunctioning?
I just installed Mandriva- and it was fine until the installation was complete.
There is the Volume box that pop-ups when you are changing volume- stuck in the middle of my screen. I think this is because it is constantly decreasing.
How do I fix this? Mostly I want the big Volume box out of my view- but I would also like to have volume. - Any suggestions?
I'm a totally new- so I've played with some things. I tried to kill Kmix- but it would re-start immediately after. (and the volume box never went way) I tried to have no sound programs on the auto-start, but it didn't change anything (I wasn't familiar with most of those programs, so I might have missed one) I tried checking for jammed keys. (The shortcut on my keyboard is Fn-Page down and neither, let alone both, were jammed) I tried to erase all the short-cuts, and that also didn't help. (actually- my shortcuts still worked, so perhaps I did that wrong)
I'm out of ideas that are obvious to me.Linux Help- Volume Control Malfunctioning?
Hi, I think its a bug with kmix or something, try the Mandriva forums cause I have never heard of the behavior on any distro I ever used.
Why not use a better distro like openSUSE, its way easier, polished and its just AWESOME!

The problem with Mandriva is that after every cool release one release is buggy.

Well, one volume control never fails. Open a terminal session and type alsamixer as a regular user. It should provide an ncurses control for your audio hardware. Esc closes the program, and your arrow keys move between and adjust sliders. M mutes sliders. you may need to get a seperate alsa tools package to use this applet on your distribution.
Also, if you want to kill a program ,you often have to use ';kill -9'; instead of just ';kill.'; Yes, lower-case kill, followed by a space, a dash, and a nine. Then, of course, the offending PID or process identification number. Xkill will get the darned thing off the screen, by the way, but won't kill the underlying stalled process.
Sorry, but Linux has a way of being obtuse. I weouldn't doubt there's easier ways to do these things on Mandriva, but I don't use Mandriva so I can only teach you distribution-agnostic methods,
Oh, and while I hate distro evangelists, I do concur with another poster that Mandriva is buggy and bloated, Sorry.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 has unsizeable dialog boxes taller than my screen. How to make them fit?
Two such dialog boxes are:
1) File %26gt; Create PDF %26gt; From Scanner... %26gt;
';Acrobat Scan';
When this window appears I can just see the top edge of buttons at the bottom of this window. If I drag the blue title-bar up as far as possible I can see parts of the names on the buttons. If I move task-Bar to the side of the screen I can then click on the bottom row of buttons, one of which is ';Scan';.
2) Document %26gt; Header %26amp; Footer %26gt; Update... %26gt;
';Update Header %26amp; Footer';
No buttons are visible at the bottom of this window. If I drag the title-bar up as far as possible I can almost see at the bottom of the screen faint hints of horizontal lines which might be the tops of buttons, but I cannot see their names and clicking over them does not close the window. Pressing %26lt;esc%26gt; acts as a Cancel and closes the window, but I have not found a keyboard shortcut to click Update or Done. If I repeatedly click the %26lt;tab%26gt; key I can see the focus move to the last visible button, then it goes below the bottom edge of the screen. Once I pressed Enter with the focus below the screen, and the window closed, accepting my Header info. I have not managed to get this to work again to make a further change to the Header.

Sometimes if you hold down Control and use the scrolling tab on your mouse, the font will get smaller/bigger. Try rolling the scroller away from you and it should decrease the size of the font only on the computer screen so that it may fit all the text.

In detail...
I have one batch file. This batch file is designed to print the file name in a folder. The command I have used is dir d:\FolderNameWhereFilesAreLocatedToPrint %26gt; d:\foldernameWhretheTxtFileBeCreated\txt鈥?/b . And then I import these data into an excel file and I saved this file on my computer, and it was working well. But when I try to open this excel file from other computer on the same network I was able to open the file but the data can't be refreshed. Whenever I open the file a dialog box is opened saying that 鈥淓xcel can't find the text file to refresh this external data range. Then I try to change the command in batchfile in to \\mycomputername\d:\FolderNameWhereFiles鈥?%26gt; d:\foldernameWhretheTxtFileBeCreated\txt鈥?/b. but it is not worked out. Can anybody help me out in this issue. I hope you all understand my problem. This excel file is to be shared to all on my network as all have to check the file.
in this excel file i have created one macro to run the batch file. This also working in my system
While when i try to open it from other computer it is showing a dialog box Error 5. What is it and how can i solve this issue.
Macro command is
Sub vchr_gvn()
'
' vchr_gvn Macro
' To run VchrGvn Batch file
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+r
'
Call Shell(';\\sa\batchfiles\shtg givn.bat';, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
FYI.
I have shared this file, shared the folder and given permission.
Otherwise can you tell me other alternative to do all this things?
What I need is, I want to know the file names which contain in a folder and I want this names in a excel file and when I click on this file name in excel I need this file be opened. by using macro or any way. Remember I want to share this file with others on the same network.Your assistance please?
A few things to check
1. the path you provide is incorrect from network pov, it shouldn't has the d:\ in the middle, cause if that drive is shared, it should become something like a folder, may be is just ';d';
2. this line
Call Shell(';\\sa\batchfiles\shtg givn.bat';, vbNormalFocus)
may be needed to change to
Call Shell(';\\sa\batchfiles\shtg\ givn.bat';, vbNormalFocus) (note:added 1 space)
3. may be use excel to call the text file instead of using bat, Dos also has problem in networking especially with xp
Hope this helps.

Problem with my taskbar on Windows Vista PLEASE HELP!?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium on my laptop and recently a problem has developed on the taskbar.
The middle section (between the quick launch icons and Windows start menu %26amp; the icon tray on the right) has stopped displaying the current windows that i have open.
(for example, when i am running Firefox and Windows Live Messenger, it does not display the current windows like it should do on the taskbar).
The quickstart icons, tray icons and the menu button still all function correctly.
I have tried several different things to sort this problem out:
I have checked all of the settings (which i didn't change in the first place) to see whether anything is different and it isn't
I have restarted my laptop several times
I have tried to do system restore
I have restarted the 'explorer.exe' on the Windows Task Manager
I have ran the msconfig to check for any problems
I have change the style, colour and transparancy of my taskbar
I have tried minimising the taskbar and restarting it and still i do not know how to fix it.
The only way i can switch through programs is by using the alt %26amp; tab keyboard shortcut.
I would really like to solve this problem and so i would be very greatful for any suggestions.
Thanks :]Problem with my taskbar on Windows Vista PLEASE HELP!?
OK i have found a program that just might work for you.

Computer problem. Screen resolution changes when I try to move down.?
My laptop is dying :( it was working fairly okay, a few BSoD's, but it recovered. But for the last two days it's been doing this weird thing.
It is working fine and then it suddenly changes without me doing anything. When I try to move the cursor down (for example, to move down on a webpage) instead of moving down, the screen resolution changes. Everything gets smaller or bigger if I move it up. Also, when I type the letter w in any window, it closes itself. And when I press the letter p it tries to print. And any other keyboard shortcuts that I haven't found out yet.
And now, when I open a new webpage, it comes up big, without the menus or toolbars at the top like it used to.
Anybody know why it is doing this or how to cure it?
ThanksComputer problem. Screen resolution changes when I try to move down.?
That is odd but I would suggest that some keys are stuck.
If you use a scroll mouse (with a wheel) and scroll up and down while holding down the CAPS key, it changes the resolution of the screen (not many people know that!).
Many keys also have meanings when you press the CTRL or ALT keys at the same time. That would explain the printing, for instance.
If it's not the keyboard keys themselves, it may be the keyboard connector inside, or even the keyboard driver. Whatever - it definitely has to do with the laptop thinking that certain keys are being pressed.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME no other site on the net has been useful. u cant just press tab to manouver thru the options in properties because it doesnt work. u cant even see the options cos the icons are massive now too. im prety sure theres SOME way of fixing it..COMPUTER FONT IS TOO BIG I NEED HELP?
You can try starting in Safe Mode. When your computer is booting up and it starts listing the Windows Registry (or whatever its called) start tapping F8 repeatedly. In Safe Mode, you should be able to navigate your PC and change the settings back to normal. If you can't change the settings back, then run a System Restore from Safe Mode. It will take your computer back to the way it was last week. Just click the Start Button/ All Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools/ System Restore. I have done it a few times with my computer, and sometimes I had to wait a minute or more after clicking it for it to appear. Or, I'd click a button and have to wait a minute. So be patient.
Sometimes I use the keyboard instead of the mouse to navigate. You can click the Windows button between Ctrl and Alt on the left side, and the menu will pop up. Then, you use the arrow keys to navigate the menu and click Enter on the program you choose. You can use the arrow keys instead of the scroll bar. Also, you can get to Control Panel using the above mentioned method. Then, use the Arrow Keys at the Control Panel to go from icon to icon, and click Enter on the program you choose. I only know a few shortcuts that I use when browsing the web: HomePage (Alt+M), Address Bar (Alt+D), and Favorites Folder (Alt+C). F5 = Refresh. Alt+F4 = Close Program. When you are at a program, you can click Alt+F instead of clicking File, or Alt+E instead of clicking Edit, or Alt+T instead of clicking Tools. Then, you use the arrow keys to choose what you want. If you wanted to print a document on Windows IE web browser, just click Alt+F for File, then the arrow keys down to Print, then Enter. You never have to touch your mouse.COMPUTER FONT IS TOO BIG I NEED HELP?
Just go to the computer properties and you should be able to find it.
Right click on the desktop and click properties. Then there is a option, i think it's appearance or something like that and you can change the settings. Thats for Windows XP. It's simple thing to fix. I think you can restore to default
System Restore. Go back to the most recent restore point.
I can't find where you were. The only options I see are for 200% being the highest setting.

Opera 9 speed dial set as homepage?
Hi, this relates to a question i asked before, i would like to know how i can change the homepage button on the opera 9 toolbar so that when i click on it the speed dial tab opens up, i have managed to get this to work via the keyboard shortcuts but cant seem to get it to work using the homepage button, any ideas please.
PeteOpera 9 speed dial set as homepage?
i'm glad i was successfully able to help you with the mapping of homepage shortcuts ctrl + space and alt+ home to open speed dial! in your earlier question. I'm sorry i didn't mention about homepage button stuff...guess it just slipped my mind at the time. Well no worries, because i'm gonna solve your problem totally right now.
Well, there is no way you can change the existing homepage button on the toolbar of Opera to open speed dial . BUT surely you can drag a homepage button onto your toolbar which when clicked opens the speed dial.
First of all remove that homepage button from your toolbar (right click -%26gt; remove from toolbar)
Now, go here http://www.xs4all.nl/~vangeijt/opera/dnd and scroll down a li'l bit till you see 'Speed dial buttons'
Now all you got to do is drag the button 'speed dial' -- (open Speed Dial in the current tab, ';Homepage'; icon) to your toolbar . It'll ask you whether you want to proceed, Hit yes!
Voila! you got the homepage button onto the toolbar which when clicked opens speed dial in the current tab!
If you want the tile icon which performs the same function , then drag the other speed dial button (open Speed Dial in the current tab, ';Tile'; icon) onto your toolbar.
that's it!Opera 9 speed dial set as homepage?
Speed dial is excellent.You can use 9 homepages in one page.But if you don't like try:tools and after that Preferences and then set your hompage.
Hope you find your answer
Start Opera. Open a new blank tab so that speed dial appears. Go to 'tools -%26gt; preferences'. Where it says 'Homepage' click 'select current'.

How do I change the overall default media player in Windows?
I have a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard with a bunch of buttons along the top for shortcuts. I just recently formatted and reloaded windows, due to some driver issues. Before the format, when I pressed the Play/Pause button and no media player was open, Winamp would open and start playing. Now, after the format, when I press the button, Windows Media Player opens. If I already have Winamp open, the buttons control it properly, and everything is peachy. But usually the first thing I do after my computer boots up is to hit the play button to launch my music. In the keyboard settings, I can choose different settings for that key, but it is already set to the correct one. I just want it to launch Winamp if there is no media player open, and work as it currently does after Winamp is launched. I checked Set Program Access and Defaults, but I can only choose WMP or Zune as the default media player, which are both garbage IMO.How do I change the overall default media player in Windows?
I think there is a thing in control panel that says Default Programs, it might be in there or go to Autoplay and change the default for each multimedia item.

Windows 3.1 - I've accidentally changed my video setting to something wrong. How would I fix it?
So I was playing around in Windows 3.1, video (monitor) was working. I decided to change it from VGA to ';VGA 1MB 1024x768'; in the Windows 3.1 Setup application (I found it under the ';Main'; program group in the Program Manager. Now, these horrible vertical pink bars shoot up and down my monitor across the whole thing, alternating on and off. I am sure I picked an unsupported video driver for my card... Now, here's my question: How would I change it back to the default VGA? Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts I can use (since I can't see Windows at all)? Please, PLEASE, PLEEEASE someone help me out!
P.S. I don't want to re-install Windows 3.1 on that machine, I just finished installing MS Word 6, MS Powepoint 4, VB 3.0, VC++, and my sound card...
PLEASE HELP MEEE I'M ULTIMATELY DESPERATE! :'-(Windows 3.1 - I've accidentally changed my video setting to something wrong. How would I fix it?
Can you boot Windows 3.1 into safe mode? That may be a way into the system where you can change it back because safe mode generally loads the generic type of drivers.

You may have to run a clean re-installation of Windows XP

Problem with some letters on my keyboard? I press them and they are numbers instead of alphabet?!?
i mustve pressed some weird shortcut, turning most of my letters on my keyboard into numbers. why is this and how do i change it back to ';normal';?
btw u must b wondering how i couldve typed this out if half the letters were numbers, rite? the problem is on a different computer.......Problem with some letters on my keyboard? I press them and they are numbers instead of alphabet?!?
Depends on the laptop. But generally its hold the function key and hit pad lock. Or it could be Num lock. Its usually a little lock with a # on it.
can you post wat kind of laptop it is please?Problem with some letters on my keyboard? I press them and they are numbers instead of alphabet?!?
Fn + Num Lock.
Nothing is wrong, you just have the number lock on! Press and hold ';Fn'; (which is usually on the bottom left of the laptop) and then push the ';NumLk'; button (usually on the top row of the laptop). Hope this helps!

Help needed with Microsoft Works Excel 2007?
Here's what the problem is. I don't know how to change the text case (upper or lower) with a keyboard shortcut. So please someone let me know how to do this. I know how to change the text case in Microsoft Works Word 2007 (as in any other version) -
1. Select the text or just click on the word
2. Press Shift+F3.
I have given this explanation so that whoever answers knows what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance. :)Help needed with Microsoft Works Excel 2007?
In Excel you are not provided with any shortcut key that can chage the case of contents.
but you can use a formula to change the case of one Cell
=Upper(A1)
or
=Upper(';Have a nice day';) ';It will return HAVE A NICE DAY';
Similarly you can use ';Lower'; function for changing case to Lower and through ';Proper'; for First letter of every word will be capitalized and rest part of word will be Lowered.
you can copy and paste special on the original cell

In IE, how can I set it so new windows open maximized?
When I click on links that open in a new window, that new window is opening at half height and I always have to go up and maximize it. It's a pain, especially with the touchpad. It wasn't always that way but I don't know what setting might have changed.
As an interim solution, if anybody remembers the keyboard shortcut to maximize a window, I'd take that, too.In IE, how can I set it so new windows open maximized?

Eraser hardness in Photoshop Elements 6.0?
Recently I decided that I really ought to just go legit with my editing software and deleted Photoshop CS3 and bought myself the humble Elements 6.0. However, I've been having quite some difficulty setting the hardness on the eraser tool. This is posing some problems for me, especially when I want to erase sections of my levels layers.
I'm sure there must be some way of setting the hardness, as I've read tutorials that cater to Elements users that have said things such as, ';We'll need a hardness of around 50%';. I know how to set the hardness for a regular brush tool, but that never carries over to the eraser tool (If even it can). I've looked through the online manual, and it didn't help me greatly. I can't use the shortcut keys either, as I'm using a Finnish keyboard and they (Shortcuts) just doesn't work, and I haven't been able to find any way of changing the shortcut keys.
Help would greatly be appreciated, thank you in advanced.Eraser hardness in Photoshop Elements 6.0?
Hummm, that should not be any different than any other brush hardness. After selecting the eraser, look up in the tool bar. There should be a block there that says ';brushes';. Click on the drop down arrow and it should bring up the dialog box where you can adjust the sliders for both size and hardness.
Don't know what else to tell you.

Please help, I broke my laptop screen.?
Okay, I managed to break the LCD display on my laptop yesterday. I was planning to replace the laptop some time in the summer when I had a bit more money, so I don't want a repair. I was thinking of an external monitor but these too are about 拢100. I found this on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brand-1-5m-Compo and was wantering if I could link my TV up to the laptop? I suspect that would be possible, but if I successfully connected the two, would I need to do anything to make the display come on? Because of the brand of my laptop, there is no shortcut to change the output from my keyboard (I was shown that this was possible on other brands like Acer), so if I needed to change settings on screen it would not be possible because of the broken current one. Sorry about how complicated that sounds but any help will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in anticipation.Please help, I broke my laptop screen.?
you should get someone to fix te screen
but the computer's site should tell you the best way to do it with googlePlease help, I broke my laptop screen.?
You could use a connector such as the one you described. If you do choose to fix your laptop you can usually find cheap used LCD monitors on Ebay. They are relatively easy to change also.
When you Install this, Right Click on the desktop of your computer, click properties and then go to display settings.
If you have an ';Fn'; key, you can push that and F8 for it to switch over to the TV.
If you completely unhook the junk LCD screen it may just automatically choose TV as the output location; however, I'm not certain on that.
The issue would be initially making it show up on your TV without the ';Fn'; key. I think that if you detatch the broken monitor and have the TV all plugged into the side video adapter, then it should work for you.

How to get out of text tool in InDesign?
ok, so the keyboard shortcut for text tool is T, and the shortcut for selection tool is V. Switching between those two is just typing T and V Right?
Now I want to know how to get out of text tool after typing using keyboard shortcut.
Obviously you can't use keyboard shortcut ';V'; to get out. because that will just type V in the text box that you were just working on.
So is there a way to do this without using the mouse? And I don't want to change my indesign shortcut settings because i want to be able to work on different computers without messing with the shortcut settings each time. THANKS!!!How to get out of text tool in InDesign?
There are a few ways, one of which involve a click of the mouse that I think is the easier and quicker way.
The keyboard shortcut is the Deselect All Command (no mousework involved):
On a Mac: Command + Shift + A
On a PC: Command + Shift + A
What I do involves a mouse click. Hold Command (or Control on a PC), and click anywhere outside of the text box.How to get out of text tool in InDesign?
Just tried it and I see your problem. I'm using CS3, and it looks like you just need to hit ESC instead of V. The selection tool/ black arrow is listed as having both V and ESC as short-cut keys.
Hope that helps...

How can a prevent my backspace button on my keyboard from turning into a web ';go back'; button?
When typing out an answer here on Yahoo Answers or in other form boxes, when I hit the backspace button to a few times fast to erase a word, it instead acts like the internet explorer ';go back'; button and changes to previous web pages. I then lose what I have typed in the form. How can I turn off the feature that suddenly turns the backspace button into a web ';go back'; shortcut button?How can a prevent my backspace button on my keyboard from turning into a web ';go back'; button?
If your cursor is in the textarea (the box you type in) it's a backspace button. If not it's a ';back 1 page'; button. That's how browsers are written.

Some questions about the enV3?
My enV2 is like... dying. External keypad not working, speakers dying, always randomly shutting off. I LOVE my enV2 but I was wondering if I should get the enV3. I don't like how the space bar is in the middle. UGH. Some other questions are:
I read that it randomly turns off. Does that happen to you?
Good battery life? People either said it was really good or really bad.
Can you have music open on the outside?
Can you take a video with the phone closed?
Do you get used to the change in keyboard? (Space bar, symbol button, etc)
I like how fast the camera is on the enV2. Is it slower on the enV3? Slower than the voyager's camera? Can't stand that.
Can you set a shortcut to my sounds?
Sorry so many! And just in general, overall, pros and cons?
THANKS!Some questions about the enV3?
Hey, if you were happy with the env2, i'd say definitely go with the env3! They are similar, but the env3 is just an improved version, so i would say go for it.
- No, I have not had it randomly turn off, but keeping in mind that my phone is still new, i just got it recently.
- The battery is average (and I'm a pretty heavy texter), while it is not great, I was not disappointed in it, coming from the env2 and before that the alias. It is about the same as the env2, maybe a tad shorter.
- Yes, you can have music open on the outside. You can access it from the external menu.
- No, you can't take video from the outside, only pictures. Unless, there is a way to i have not found yet.
- Yes! I got used to the keyboard so quickly. After playing with it for a few hours i was already comfortable with it. I actually like the new setup better than the env2. You'll adjust to it in a snap.
- No the camera is not slower than the env2, i'd say about the same.
- Yes, you can. You can set up your shortcuts however you want, up to 4 options.
Pros
- threaded messaging
- just type to reply feature
- customizable main menu
- large 2.6 high res. internal screen
- 3 mp camera with flash
- keypad and qwerty keyboard
- great sound quality
- multiple themes (some new ones too)
- Nice looking, light, small phone
Cons ( i don't have a problem with these, but some people have complained)
- Small external screen (improvement from env2 though)
- flash too bright
- battery life could be better
*edit: You CAN have the messages set up the same way as the env2, there is now also an option to set them up by contact (threaded messaging). You have the option to change the message view setting from time (original) to contact.
Overall, the env3 is a great phone, a real improvement from the env2. If you like the env2, i really think you will love the env3! Good luck! i hope this helped you a bit :)

Allow remote access?
So, my computer screen on my laptop pc went black, but I would like to still access it remotely. The problem is that I do not know the computer name and also do not have the 'check box' selected to allow remote access. I tried to use keyboard shortcuts to enable it and change my computer name but i had no luck because i can not see the screen. Any advice? I access other computers in my home remotely from my mac, and all i need to know is the computer name. How can I find this if i can't see the screen?Allow remote access?

Most laptops a blue (vga) port on the side or back of them that you can hook another monitor into. Do that and you should be able to see stuff on the new screen that you just plugged in. If you have a wirelss network at your house, you can usually connect to your wireless router (typing 192.168.1.1 into internet explorer) and most routers allow you to see all the computers that are connected to your network. This should give you the computer name, or at least the IP address of the computer. Even if you could get the IP address it should allow you to connect to the laptop without knowing the name of the laptop
Try pulling out the hardrive and connecting it to another laptop, the problem is probably a graphics card failure, so if you put it into another laptop then you can access your material regardless of screen and card error.big brother myspace

How do you enable the ';end, and home'; keys on the MAC keyboard?
I have been through the settings on the system preferences and there isn't an option for changing any of the keys.
It would make my life so much easier to have those two shortcuts working!
Any suggestions??How do you enable the ';end, and home'; keys on the MAC keyboard?
they were added for windows compatibility. If you want them to do something you need to assign them in
system preferences -%26gt; keyboard -%26gt; keyboard shortcuts.
If you want them to do something more exotic, download Quicksilver from blacktree.
http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/How do you enable the ';end, and home'; keys on the MAC keyboard?
On a laptop just hit ';fn + arrow key';
On their full keyboard it should be by the numeric keypad.

What's wrong with my start bar? It's disappearing!?
I'm on a work computer so I can't right click to get into the properties to keep the toolbar on top nor can i do anything really technical so changing registries is out... How the heck did my start bar start disappearing when windows are maximized? No one changed anything, is there a keyboard shortcut for this? It just started this morning.What's wrong with my start bar? It's disappearing!?
maybe your IT engineers changed a system setting just tell them sure they will sort it out.What's wrong with my start bar? It's disappearing!?
Right click on your task bar, and go into properties, there's a check mark box next to ';keep the start menu on top of other menus.'; make sure that is clicked, and your task bar is unlocked.
If you can't get into properties, I'd ask a help desk tech or an admin to do it for you, shouldn't take more than 2 seconds.
Oh, simple, it's a technical normal error. I experience it over 10 times already. You have to do is right-click the start bar. And then, enable lock startbar. There you go. If it doesn't work go to http://www.microsoft.com/ and ask them what happened.

Keyboard shortcut help please!?
Okay well while playing World of Warcraft, when I press Caps Lock, it minimizes the screen. I guess its setup as a shortcut, but I dont know how to change/get rid of it. Any help would be great!
And please dont suggest installing AutoHotKey, as I tried that, and found it unbelievably confusing ( I'm not very good with anything to computer related). So if you could layout what I have to do nice and simple would be great! :)Keyboard shortcut help please!?
Don't do what he said above.... it'll close out of the program. Anyways, I played a little WoW so I kinda think i know what to do. If you press esc the menu comes up right? Well under the options area I think there is a tab that is like hotkeys maybe you can find an option in there that will take the capslock hotkey off?Keyboard shortcut help please!?

ALT F1
ALT F2
ALT F3
ALT F4

How do you do French accents on a laptop?
Okay I need a way to type french accents on my words for the programs open-office writer and Microsoft Word. Now I know the first thing your going to say for Microsoft word is to go to insert and go to symbols. But I lack a symbol button. I don't want to permanently change my keyboard to french but I just need a way to shortcut to these accents. Again I don't want to permanently change all my numbers to symbols or something like that, I just want shortcuts that will work on my computer. Thanks in advice!How do you do French accents on a laptop?
Laptops generally have a Fn key which allow you to emulate a Numeric Keypad on a laptop. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fn_key . If not, you should read the documentation that came with your laptop to see how it emulates a numeric keypad.
On a PC, generally speaking, you make sure the Num Lock is on, by pressing down the upper-rightmost key until the indicator light is on. Then you hold down the left Alt key, type a number on the Numeric Keypad from 0 to 255, and then allow the left Alt key to rise. To use a laptop, you would often have to press Fn either before or while you were pressing the number keys.
If you include a 0 before each number, you will get the corresponding character from you current 8-bit Windows character set. Otherwise you will get the corresponding character from your current DOS character set. If the DOS Code Page is 470, some capital accented French characters will be missing, If it is Code Page 850, Then French characters 艙 and 艗 will still be missing. So I suggest you get used to using the leading 0 which will provide the Windows Western European Character set.
You might also try http://allchars.zwolnet.com/ for AllChars.exe which provides a more intuitive approach. I have been using this for about fifteen years with no problems, including under Windows Vista. Ctrl O E produces 艗, Crl ' e produces 茅, Ctrl ` a produces 脿, Ctrl ^ O produces 脭 and so forth. You press the Ctrl before the other keys, not while you are pressing them, so that it does not interfere with regular Ctrl key usage.How do you do French accents on a laptop?
Hold Alt Gr, and press the letter you want an accent with.
It works. I never said WITH the spacebar, just ';Alt Gr next to the spacebar';

How do you open an Access DB for editing when the database window is protected and menus are disabled?
I have an Access application written by a former employee. I want to edit the underlying VBA code but the database window is not shown on startup and all menus have been changed. It seems some other shortcuts in the program itselft may have also been disabled. I had a friend once that had a trick to opening a database and bypass the protection with a keyboard/mouse shortcut at the icon in Windows but I do not remember it. Does anyone know how I can get inside this application and do what I need done?How do you open an Access DB for editing when the database window is protected and menus are disabled?
hold the shift key down as you open it. also is it an MDB file or an MDE file? if its mde the VB code is compiled or encrypted and you still can't edit it.How do you open an Access DB for editing when the database window is protected and menus are disabled?
One additional note to the holding Shift key down when opening the database.
If the database has any user group permissions setup on the database you may still have an issue because if that person made the groups you would have to strip out the user/group persmissions. There is a lot of work involved around this so just one extra thing to think about when opening the database.

You should have gotten a CD with the keyboard. Get the cd, put it in the drive, and install stuff.
This should add a desktop icon which when you click will allow you to configure your buttons and change the short cuts.How do I use the F keys on my keyboard?
Download the software for it and you can then change the settings.

you can also go to stardock.com and download a program called Keyboard Launchpad, it is only a demo, but it works great! unfortunately if you want to buy it, you have to buy it in a bundle of other stardock products.

On Mac OS X, how do you switch system preferences settings with AppleScript?
The computers in the computer lab are set to revert every time you log off. I change a number of settings every time I log on: International -%26gt; input menu, add input type Dvorak -%26gt; keyboard shortcuts, enable input menu, disable previous input source, change next input source to 鈱?shift+1 -%26gt; expos茅 and spaces, enable spaces, add row, add column. Isn't it really easy to write an AppleScript that does all that for you in an instant?On Mac OS X, how do you switch system preferences settings with AppleScript?
In Leopard, there are several improvements for scripting System Preferences. The link below is some samples from Apple's website.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/feature
I haven't played around with scripting System Prefs yet, but you may only be able to get so far before having to use GUI scripting.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscrip
Depending on the way your IT department set up your macs, you may have to have an administrator password in order to turn GUI scripting on and off.
If you do get into UI scripting there are free and paid tools that can help you.
Oh, and an AppleScript won't change your settings in an ';instant,'; but it will be a lot faster than you doing it manually.On Mac OS X, how do you switch system preferences settings with AppleScript?
I don't understand how you manage to change all these settings. Some of them do not take effect until you logout and login again which would automatically revert to the default settings. But if you can do it, great. Maybe their is some special software installed that instigates not only the reverting to default preferences but also allows your preferences to take effect without logout-login.
You could write a script that would change your prefs but it would be much simpler to write a script that would rename your Preferences folder (after you have made your settings) to ';Preferences-old'; or ';Preferences-yourname'; or whatever. For that matter, you could do it manually just before you shutdown. Then, when the computer starts up again, there will be a default Preferences folder created automatically as usual. Then you trash the Preferences folder and rename your Preferences-old to Preferences.

How to change CTRL+SHIFT+S on my keyboard so that it saves instead of bringing up system info?
I just recently bought a HP tablet laptop, and am trying to get used to it, however when working with Adobe Photoshop CS4, I keep trying to press CTRL+SHIFT+S for ';Save As'; as I have been taught since I first got photohop and instead of ';saving as';, it brings up the system information for my computer. It's not a program that pops up, just simply the system information. Does anyone know how to change it so that I can ';save as'; with that shortcut again?How to change CTRL+SHIFT+S on my keyboard so that it saves instead of bringing up system info?
quoting answer from thread:
HP isn't going to tell you how to disable it, but I finally figured it out! Go to Start-%26gt;All Programs-%26gt;HP and right click on HP System Information. Go to Properties and you will see a section for ';Shortcut Key';. Just delete what's in there. That's it!

Just go ALT+F Then CTRL+SHIFT+S
Try CTRL+S it should bring up save as if you already haven't saved it as.
quoting answer from thread:
HP isn't going to tell you how to disable it, but I finally figured it out! Go to Start-%26gt;All Programs-%26gt;HP and right click on HP System Information. Go to Properties and you will see a section for ';Shortcut Key';. Just delete what's in there. That's it!

How can i make my keyboard make a Euro Sign in place of the 拢 sign?
We all know the GBP is going down the pan, i only have around 1100 prices to change on my websites %26amp; need to do this fairly quick, so i could do with some sort of shortcut on my keyboard for the Euro!How can i make my keyboard make a Euro Sign in place of the 拢 sign?
As people have said, use the Alt Gr key, hold that down then tap 4. Even if the euro sign is not showing on the right side of that key, it will still print as 鈧? If not, however, insert the symbol from the character map and assign it to, say, the grave key next to the No. 1 which you are highly unlikely to use, as a shortcut key so that when you press ` key the 鈧?comes in.How can i make my keyboard make a Euro Sign in place of the 拢 sign?
try pressing Control + Alt and the number 4 at the same time (assuming that's where the 鈧?sign is on your keyboard!)
Changethe keyboard setting.
Hold Alt Gr + 4
or maybe you can do some paste and copy after you ve got the firs Euro sign
good luck to you
greg
It's Alt + 0128 = 鈧? get a list of shortcuts below. Cheers.

How do you set up the internet shortcut tab on your keyboard?
On my keyboard there is a shortcut key for internet and mail- when i click those buttons, they both launch internet explorer and outlook express. I want to change it so that when I click it, I get yahoo mail. Does anyone know how to set it up? Please give me step by step!How do you set up the internet shortcut tab on your keyboard?
The button launches your browser. Your browser determines where it goes by the home page you have set in it. Set Yahoo mail as your home page and pressing the button will launch the browser and go to Yahoo. (If you want the Outlook button to go to Yahoo mail, you'll have to use the CD that came with your keyboard to change what the button does, and you'll have to run a command to IE to tell it to go to Yahoo mail.)How do you set up the internet shortcut tab on your keyboard?
Not sure this works, but it's on my XP computer:
1. Click the Start-%26gt;Control Panel menu item.
2. Click Printers and Other Hardware.
3. Click Keyboard.
4. Now on my HP, there's a Button tab. If there is on yours, click it.
From there on, you're on your own. Hope that helps. Note there's a Default button if you get things too far out of whack.

I want to program media player shortcuts on my keyboard...How?

How to delete a keyboard shortcut?
i have a very irritating shortcut on my computer. when i press: Alt + left arrow + arrow up (it has to be in this order) my sound goes a bit lower. and i don't like that. and in the game i play i use this very often. is it possible to delete this shortcut? or to change it. i also have this problem out of the game so i has to be a windows shortcut.How to delete a keyboard shortcut?
This sounds like a hard-wired shortcut embeded in Windows, your keyboard drivers, or your computer itself. The only way to change it would be to download software to specifically block such a shortcut from working.
Of course a much easier way would be to simply go into your game's settings and change one or more of the controls so this shortcut would still work but your game wouldn't interfere with it. Change Alt to Shift or CTRL or something.How to delete a keyboard shortcut?
it should be your sound hotkey setting.see if you can choose and unuse setting.

My Keyboard and Volume?
Ok, I own an a6203w HP Desktop package. The keyboard has volume control buttons on it, as well as other shortcuts such as mute, internet explorer, sleep mode, and other stuff on it.
Whever I go to use to keyboard to change my volume though, I keep getting an prompt onscreen that says KBD.EXE has stopped working, and then it says WINDOWS IS CHECKING FOR A SOLUTION.
I have vista, and I was just wondering how to fix this, or just null it for the time being so it doesnt cause further trouble. Thanks.My Keyboard and Volume?
You need to install your keyborad drivers once again. Some dlls relating to that may have been corrupted.
- Good Luck.

Screen trouble with Mac?
Something very odd just happened to my screen while I was using Illustrator. Suddenly, every window zoomed in and the movements I made on the touchpad caused the screens to scroll. And I mean -every- movement, not just when I hold one finger on the pad and scroll with another. I don't even know how it happened! I -was- using a keyboard shortcut to change a font in AI, that's all I know.
And now, ugh, the movement of all screens is making me nauseous. The computer is a MacBook Pro. Help, please..Screen trouble with Mac?
Though I'm not exactly sure what would have caused it to happen, it sure sounds like your screen resolution got shrunk WAY down, to the point where the screen will have to scroll to show everything rather than being able to display it. Try to get out of the program, or to your system settings. Check to see if you can change the resolution. If not, then I'd simply restart. That resolves many issues on macs. If neither of those help, then you could put in the system CD, start up off of that, and run an install of the OS. You shouldn't lose any data, it should simply replace any broken/missing system files. With out going really in-depth, I would assume that one of those would probably help resolve your problem. Good luck.Screen trouble with Mac?
mine does that too sometimes - i don't know why. hit ';escape'; and it goes back to normal.
Not sure exactly what this is, but it sounds like it could be one of the user interface tools for accessibility.
Try hitting F11 to enable *that* mode, then hit it again to exit. With any luck, you'll exit the mode you're in.
Alternately, just reboot. I know, it's the Microsoft solution, but what the hey. :)
u tell me dude!! i was planning on buying one myself and if there are such hidden probs, i'll have to consider the windows!!! Damn

I'm interested in the new version of yahoo classic?
I read something on yahoo's website about a new version of yahoo classic. I am NOT talking about the yahoo beta, but rather an updated version of yahoo classic, where yahoo removed certain keyboard shortcuts and changed several other features. One of my yahoo e-mail accounts changed to this format, but the other did not. Once again, this is not the yahoo beta that uses a tabbed interface, but rather a newer, sleeker form of yahoo classic mail. When I searched yahoo answers, several people responded that this does not exist, but like I said, one of my e-mail accounts changed into this new format, while the other did not. I'm wondering how I can switch my other yahoo e-mail account to this format. I have over 100,000 e-mails in this account, so simply creating a new account is not an option. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long question. Thanks!I'm interested in the new version of yahoo classic?
You may be talking about the ';All-New Mail'; upgrade----which, while it sounds good, is far from perfect (as projected).
However, if you've encountered no troubles with your other account that switched ----then it should be fine to switch this one also.
On the mail page (of Classic account)---open the inbox----and on the right side you will see a purple link---';Switch to the New Mail';---and you're on your way.

What is the keyboard shortcut to invert your computer screen vertically?
I sat on my keyboard at the office, then when I turned around everything on the screen appeared vertically inverted! I restarted Windows but nothing changed. Would you guys know how to fix this? What is the keyboard combination to invert the screen? I'm going to work tomorrow so I'd need to use the PC. Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks!What is the keyboard shortcut to invert your computer screen vertically?
Well, I'm not sure if this'll work for your computer, because it works for the one I'm currently using, but I don't think it worked for my old ones.. So anyway:
Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow = Turns screen upside-down.
Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow = Turns screen rightside-up.
Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow = Turn screen once, clockwise.
Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow = Turns screen once, counter-clockwise.
Hope that helps!

Try this website. It seems to have the answer to a lot of questions about shortcuts.
My screen automatically does it when i turn the screen vertical or horizontal. I guess my screen rotates 180 degrees.
But I never had to put in any code.

Fried hard drive causes?
Here are the details:
My macbook is 10 months old.
I have an external fan in addition to its internal fan.
Here's how it happened:
I was in the middle of playing xplane and wanted to change around the keyboard shortcuts, so I went to system preferences. My computer started functioning really slow, and eventually the spinning rainbow wheel replaced the mouse pointer on the screen. I heard these rythmic clicking noises on the upper right side of it. I tried to force quit out of all applications, but the force quit window wouldn't show up.
Finally, I held down the power button and it shut off. After about 10 seconds I restarted it. The normal apple symbol and spinning gear was replaced by a blinking folder with a question mark inside of it.
Don't tell my to put the startup disk in, or do anything that may supposedly help this problem-I've already tried all of that. Just tell me if you know what the cause was.Fried hard drive causes?
Sounds like a bad case of ';infant mortality';. It's well known in the electronics industry that a small percentage of parts are just going to DIE for no apparent reason, a short time after being put into use. Manufacturers account for this in their warranty policies and pricing.
It doesn't mean the thing isn't built well - it's just a fact of life that not even the best processes are 100% perfect.Fried hard drive causes?

How do you set up keyboard shortcuts that are buttons on the keyboard, if that makes sense?
I got a new laptop its a hp presario compaq. And i've never known how to set up keyboard shortcuts for example:
How up the top with F9, F10, F11 %26amp; F12 it has play/pause, next, back etc options for when im listening to music, they dont work and i have no idea how to set them up.
Also there is an fn button down the bottum to use when doing shortcuts that are up with the F buttons ot with the volume, but they dont work with the music option ones and i really want to get them working so i dont have to open itunes to change the song and stuff
Any help would be appreciated.How do you set up keyboard shortcuts that are buttons on the keyboard, if that makes sense?
Click on Control Panel in your Start menu. Look for your Keyboard among all the icons, double click on Keyboard where you should find settings for doing that. If not, I remember at one time Compaq had a Keyboard Access system installed for that also in the Control Panel.

How to use keyboard shortcuts on my keyboard with iTunes?
Hello,
I have just got a new laptop, it is an Hewlett-Packard G70 212-EM.
On the keyboard it has F9 - F12 that can also be used as media shortcuts such as play, puase, stop, next, previous etc
These work already with windows media player.
I wanty to be able to use they keyboard shortcuts in iTunes when its minimized (they already work if iTunes is open).
I am thinking there will be a way to maybe change my default media player or to assign these keys to iTunes?
I have done it on my old laptop but forgot how i did it.
Thanks!How to use keyboard shortcuts on my keyboard with iTunes?
To specify shortcut keys for specific programs
Before beginning this procedure, please refer to the documentation that came with the program to verify a shortcut was installed.
1. Open My Computer.
2. Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon. Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Program tab for an MS-DOS program or the Shortcut tab for a Windows program.
4. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will not be able to use that key combination with other programs.
If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can follow steps 2 through 3 and review your shortcut keys.
Using shortcut keys to open programs can often be simpler than opening programs using a pointing device, especially when working on portable computers.
this might not work with your versions of windows
check the windows help files and type in keboard shortcuts

1. Open My Computer.
2. Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon. Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Program tab for an MS-DOS program or the Shortcut tab for a Windows program.
4. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will not be able to use that key combination with other programs.
If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can follow steps 2 through 3 and review your shortcut keys.
Using shortcut keys to open programs can often be simpler than opening programs using a pointing device, especially when working on portable computers.

Any keyboard shortcuts for Macintosh?
I'm using a borrowed mac, but I'm getting very tired of using the mouse for everything. I'd like to know how to change words to bold, underline, etc., also, how to change windows, select, copy, paste, undo, etc. Any info will be appreciated.
Good day!Any keyboard shortcuts for Macintosh?
How many do you want?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?
For Mac keyboard short cuts in assorted 3rd party apps check in the file menus.Any keyboard shortcuts for Macintosh?
nope i have a real computer that i can actually do stuff with, without being restricted, i know how you feel
I have no idea, because macs are not as cool or as dependable as mac users want you to think, in fact mac OS sucks. Just as much as windows. Get a free linux OS, i would recommend Abuntu for beginners.
The command key is like control on windows. The command key has an apple on it. command b, command u, its really the same as windows. Command tab to change applications. command ` to change the window in an application. copy paste and cut are the same as on pc.
other handy ones are command h for hide. command n for new window. f11 to show the desktop.
Once you get the gist of it macs are much easier than pc, although i use both to keep it interesting.
mac is a great os, but it's such a loser when it comes to applicatins... sorry dude, better switch to computers with os from microsoft.
If you're used to Windows, the Apple key acts much like the ALT key on Windows and most shortcuts are the same.
Hold the Apple key and press ... ';B'; for bold, ';I'; for italics, ';U'; for underline, ';C'; to copy, ';X'; to cut, ';V'; to paste, ';TAB'; to switch applications. AppleKey + Z to undo, AppleKey + Shift + Z to redo.
They're also listed in almost every application under the various menus beside the appropriate function and in most cases should be in the help files for each application too.
for all those negative about the mac, seriously you need to first try before you speak! it out-did the windows by far; now that windows has attempted to catch up with the vista it s doing better but still not as good as mac!
as for your question here are some that haven't been mentioned already....
if you are on an internet webpage, press esc to go back
apple key(command)+c copy, command+v paste, command+w close window, command+s save, command+delete move to trash....
yes, there are a lot. Press: apple q to quit any application. Use apple n to open the hard drive in a new window. Use apple w to quit a window, and some others. here's a website with all of them: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459

Please help. I just attached a new keyboard to my iMac and for some reason it has created a keyboard shortcut whereby the '0' zero key keeps on toggling the mute function. I've looked all through the ';Keyboard Shortcuts'; dialogue but can't correct it.
Please help. Please please please. Its quite frustratingMy Mac has an annoying keyboard shortcut... the '0' zero keeps toggling mute... how do I change this?
You could possibly try assign ';0'; something that you use a lot. Something useless? Sorry if this isn't any help.My Mac has an annoying keyboard shortcut... the '0' zero keeps toggling mute... how do I change this?
Ok so go into system preferences, click on keyboard and mouse, then go to keyboard, on that page you will see something that says something like: use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys When this option is selected press the Fn key to use the special features printed on each key. Make sure that box is not filled in/make sure you don't have that setting on. If that doesn't work you can click on Keyboard Shortcuts at the top and then press Restore Defaults. Hope this helped!

How do I change Firefox back to its ';full display'; on Mac OS X?
I obviously hit some keyboard shortcut that I was unaware of, which changed the top of the Firefox browser to a smaller version that doesn't display my bookmarks toolbar and other information. Does anyone know the shortcut so I can change it back? Thanks.
Please note, I'm using a MacBook and have Mac OS X, so I know it's not F11 like it would be on a PC.How do I change Firefox back to its ';full display'; on Mac OS X?
You confused us with two different ideas:
1) making a window fill the screen area.
2) showing toolbars in Firefox.
For #2:
in Firefox, go to the View menu, select the two that are available.
For #1:
There is no ';maximize'; button for a Mac window. The green button is a zoom. It will change the measurements of a window but what you get varies with each application. It is a developer's prerogative. The only truly predictable feature is that if you click the zoom again, the window returns to the previous size that you chose in the first place. Sorry, but Mac OS has been this way for many years, even before OS X.
When you open the first window of an application, you put it where you want and size it how you like it. What happens with the second, third, and fourth window depends on the application, not OS X. In Firefox, for example, subsequent windows that you open will be the same height and width as the first setting you chose and align slightly below each previous window, making a series of ';steps';. If the first window was at the right edge, each subsequent window will keep aligned to the right. If 1st was at left edge, each subsequent window will move a bit to the right. This has been the ';Netscape'; window behavior for many years (Firefox is built on the Netscape search engine). Safari is a bit different. The second window will step down and to the right unless the previous window is very near the right edge. Then the next window will pop open at the left edge. Annoying but true. Nothing you can do to change that except set the browser to use tabs instead of multiple window.
In MS Word, each new window opens in a Firefox-like step pattern but all new windows have a pre-determined height and width, ignoring your chosen size. PowerPoint will put the top left corner in exactly the same spot as the previous window but has its own pre-determined height and width, ignoring your chosen size.How do I change Firefox back to its ';full display'; on Mac OS X?
If the link I sent you doesn't help and you can't find the answer , maybe you would be just as quick re-installing firefox
Go to the upper right hand corner of the firefox window and click the little oval shaped button (on the opposite side of the red, yellow and green circles).hair gallery

Backspace problem on webpages?
I was logging in to Maths Online earlier and when I was typing the details, I made a mistake so I pressed backspace as usual and I got sent back a page. How do I change the keyboard shortcut so backspace doesn't send me back a page?
Browser = Safari
OS = Windows Vista
If that helps.Backspace problem on webpages?
use the little arrow keys or set your cursor behind the letter and hit deleteBackspace problem on webpages?
The default behavior of Backspace key is to take you to the previous page. But it would not go back to previous page if the cursor is in the text field. You just need to make sure that you are in the right place before you hit the backspace. Disabling backspace functionality is not a good idea. This needs a change to the browser code and if you start using another browser say IE, the fix will not work.

Help me change my Ctrl+Shift+S keyboard shortcut!?
Every time I hit Ctrl+Shift+S, my HP System Information pops up, instead of my intention - to ';Save As'; in whatever program I am working in.

The Ctrl+Shift+S is set currently by another application and needs to be set on that application before it can be set on this application. Ctrl+S is currently only good for Saving as set by default on your program and it should stay that was as it's a universal command. Remove the HP software from your computer to ensure it's not going to happen again, and also, make sure you hit just Ctrl+S to save, keep your finger off that Shift key!!Help me change my Ctrl+Shift+S keyboard shortcut!?
For any shortcut on your desktop or under the start menu, it is possible to set a shortcut key to trigger it (Right-click shortcut, select Properties).
Maybe there is a shortcut somewhere for HP System Information that has a shortcut key set. If so you need to find it and either delete it or remove its shortcut key (from Properties, click in Shortcut key box and press Delete).

How do I edit my Macbook Pro keyboard shortcuts?
I went to keyboard preferences and it told me to double click the short cut and hold the key I want to change it to, but it doesn't work. Why? Is there another way to do this?How do I edit my Macbook Pro keyboard shortcuts?
No, that's the only way.
Double-click on the value on the right, not just the row.
Normally, it works well. Remember that you need a combination of special keys, e.g. you can't hold SHIFT+A because it's a normal letter. You need a combination with ALT, CMD, CTRL or function keys.
Good luck!

Autohotkey can do anything.
http://www.autohotkey.com/
It'd be something like this:
^Space::PrintScreen
^ is the symbol for the ctrl key so you'd hold down control and hit the space bar. you can make these hotkeys any way you like.
Since Alt+PrintScreen captures just he current active window you could still hold ALT and hit your custom hotkey.
In this case, hold ctrl+alt and hit the spacebar.How to change computer key shortcuts?

I bought an HP desktop...back in November (2008), and I just started now..long time i know, looking at the shortcut keys on the left side of the keyboard they give you with the PC. You know...Internet, E-Mail, Search, etc. It opens certain things by default but I was curious if there was a way to change those shortcut keys. Thanks a bunch.How do I change the settings on my HP Keyboard?
Those keys just trigger macros for button combos, it's
hardwired into the keyboard.
Your best bet is to get a programmable keyboard.How do I change the settings on my HP Keyboard?
Go to the control pannel and open up the ';Ease of access center'; click on change how the keyboard works, look at the bottom of the page click on keyboard setttings and then keyboard properties. see on the top page ';button'; click onto it and select the buttons you want to change type in new settings
My control panel lists ';keyboard'; and it it there is a ';buttons'; tab. There you can tell your buttons what to do. It could be ';mouse and keyboard';, or ';printer and keyboard'; too.
