My laptop keys arn't responding in windows but working fine on internet, does anyone know how to resolve, please?

I have no idea why, but for some reason my Tab button stopped doing anything it is supposed to. In every program it just de-selects whatever I am doing, like if I clicked off onto my desktop. the only recent software change I have made was installing Blur, and I don't think that has anything to...

Long story short, I've bought a used laptop over eBay that comes pre-installed with W7 Ultimate. Been using it for 2-3 months without any problems. Today I tried to install something and I was asked to validate Windows. I then found out my copy isn't genuine! So I paid around £160 for the...

I have noticed many online auctions for low cost keys for Windows 7. They offer the key but not the software itself. Of course, once you have the software, the key can be used to install Windows 7 on other computers. Is this legit? I'm suspecting that it's some kind of volume OEM key and the...

Good Day, I have an x86 Win 7 Pro key that I'm not using, and a friend would like to upgrade from x64 Vista Home Premium. My question is simple - will an x86 key activate an x64 Win 7 install? Thanks

I use the RTM and I was told by my it that the keys won't be ready till Mid October so when the Retail comes out how do you upgrade without doing a fresh install?

Just speculation, but with 7264 we now have a "new animal" that will not accept RC keys. COULD IT BE that the keys it will accept are those for RTM? If so, upgrading from 7260 (and previous RC builds) could verify that RC can upgrade to RTM. My 7260 upgraded fine to 7264 although I had the...

Hi! I have a problem, because I cannot find authorization MD5-Challenge in windows 7. I know how to "find" it in Windows XP and in Windows Vista, but I have no clue how to do it in windows 7. I think I need to add some keys in "regedit" but I don't which ones and where. Can somebody help me? Smile

Hello all. I have a really annoying problem, ever since win 7 beta I have been so angry that the single / double quote key was not working the usual way. The problem is when I press the single quot button nothing happens, when I press it again bout quotes appear, same thing with double quotes...

After I installed Windows 7 noticed that Logitech Setpoint drivers doesn't allow me to bind all the keys on my G5 mouse in Warhammer Online (probably this issue will be the same for most games, world of warcraft etc). For few days I was trying to fix this. Here is the solution. 1 You can turn...

Yesterday, I spent the whole day downloading the new Windows 7. I was completely excited. Until, I started installing it. This is my problem. None of my keys are working. AND it is asking me for the activation keys, since it says it EXPIRED. ...I JUST GOT THIS TODAY, practically. Now, I'm...

are all beta builds set to expire on July 1st 2009? if not what is the actual date?

Here is a point to debate: I have often wanted to know when a particular registry key has been added or even modified. Several times, over successive operating systems, I have asked for these two fields to be added to each key. Unquestionably, there are going to be size and access issues but I...
