First thing's first... The situation you describing with the mouse cursor appearing but nothing else is - it's probably a problem with the operating system, but could also be a hard drive

  • Anonymous Jun 05, 2010

    problem or other hardware failure...

    Start with opening up the computer case and having it a good clean! Make sure all the cards and add-ins are seated firmly in their places.

    Download and use HDD
    Regenerator to check/fix your HDD.

    Also, Run Memtest+ 86 to check your memory modules (RAM) for damages.

    Both programs can be found on Hiren's BootCD.


    If everything seems to be OK and if you're using Windows XP, I would suggest you do a repair installation, which will install Windows over the existing installation - without any loss of data.
    Just restart your computer; Put Windows XP installation CD in the drive; Enter the BIOS and make it boot from the CD drive; Boot from the CD and start setup process; Press R when prompted for a repair installation. (Pay attention: It's NOT the Repair Console! You'll have to "start setup" and then you'll have the opportunity for a repair installation).

    On Windows Vista/7 there a startup repair procedure that you can run and should automatically repair startup problems... Again, you should first put the disc in the drive and boot from it.


    Now, about the lock icon with the letter A - it only means that Caps Lock is on! You have absolutely nothing to worry about it.


    Good luck, and sorry for the split posts,
    Pelu.

I accidentally locked my cursor. I'm in Word. I leaned (unwittingly) on my built-in mousepad, the little light in the NW corner of the "mousepad" went on, and locked the cursor. How do I unlock it?
Whats the model of your laptop, it may have a button combination to unlock the mouse, or even a single button that locks / unlocks it.

You could always plug an external USB mouse into it in the meantime.

Gateway laptop computer screen is upside down and can not use mouse
Shortcut Key To Flip The Screen In the Windows TO 180 Degree..
The shortcut is (or should be, read below**)
for normal windows : Ctrl + Alt + <Up arrow> (or shift+alt+<up arrow>)
and for 180 deg it is : Ctrl + Alt + <Down arrow> (or shift+alt+<down arrow>)
However, you should know that these are default shortcuts for
Intel Extreme Graphics Controller, and you can change them. To
check / change or disable these keys go to control panel->Intel Extreme Graphics->Hot Keys.
**sometimes the shortcuts do not work. This happens when you have not enabled rotation
feature in Display Settings under Intel Graphics Media Accelerator media. You need to
enable rotation in order to be able to Rotate / Flip your windows screen upside down / 90 / 180 / 270 degrees.

Mouse: with mouse, do you mean a usb mouse or the mousepad? if the mousepad isnt working, check ur "F" keys for an icon that looks like a mousepad icon. Then press the "Fn" key + the corresponding mousepad icon key and see if it works.

What do; the four little lights below my keyboard mean? One is the battery, one is the internet, but the other two? Especially the third from the lert with the icon that looks like a stack of pancakes?
The icon that looks like a stack of pancakes is the one for the hard disk drive and the indicator with the icon flickers or lights whenever there is hard disk activity. The reading / writing of large files will cause the hard disk drive activity indicator to light almost steadily until the file reads / writes have completed. There are two icons that look like little padlocks. One has the character 1 and the other has letter A. The padlock icon with the 1 in the middle is the indicator for NumLk or Numeric Keypad lock. Pressing the Fn key and the key with NumLk on it turns the Numeric Keypad on and off. When it is on, pressing the keys for UIOJKL will enter 456123 facilitating entry of numbers with the keys arranged as a keypad along with the top row of keys 789. Finally, the padlock icon with the A in the middle is the Caps Lock indicator which lights when the Caps Lock key is pressed allowing subsequent presses of letter keys to be capitals without having to press the shift key. Pressing Caps Lock a second time turns off the Caps Lock. Similarly, a second press of Fn and NumLk turns off the NumLk.

When typing an e-mail in Yahoo, frequently the curser will move to an earlier location on the document causing me to type words in the middle of other words and sentences.
If this is on a laptop with a mousepad as part of the device (below the keyboard), often times, this is due to an inadvertent touching of the mousepad. It can be resolved by either being very careful with your hand positions (lifting them above the keyboard when typing), or installing a utility program that assists with ignoring inadvertent touches of the keypad.

My duet washing machine is saying control panel lock out and nothing will come on. Any suggestions
Press any of the buttons on the control panel to see if the buttons are operational or check to see if the "Control Locked" indicator light is lit. If the control panel is operational, you may mistakenly lock the door.

Press and hold the "End of Cycle Signal" button for approximately three seconds until the "Control Locked" indicator light shuts off.

Control locked light on
First remove the plug for 5 minutes and this will reset the system.


Check to see if the light beside the LOCK ICON is lit on the status lights. If it is, then the controls are locked. Press and hold the OPTIONS and SELECT buttons simultaneously until the lock light goes out. This should free up your controls so that the washer will operate normally.If the console will not respond, then you could have a failed control or a stuck button.
