Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Functioning in CS2 for Windows

A little over 6 months ago I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Windows XP and installed it on my work PC and my home PC. Everything works fine and dandy on my work PC, however when I try to do some editting on my home PC there are some quirks that I can't figure out. The main thing is that my Up/Down Arrow Keys do absolutely nothing. Whether I am trying to edit text and scroll through my fonts or if I'm trying to nudge a part of a picture, the Arrow keys do nothing.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

>but that's beside the point.
it's not. what you describe is typical behavior of a high quality cracked version that's been floating around. a great copy with shrink wrap, nice manuals, etc. but you've been burned. usually the discs are stamped "made in singapore".

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working

I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently.
Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?

Hello Larasoft,
I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
1.       Shut down the computer.
2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.
5.       Try working the arrow keys up and down on different menus and see if they work.
6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.

Oracle 10g and JAWS -- use of Up and Down Arrow keys

We are in the process of converting an Oracle 6i application to 10g and applying Accessibility standards to our application so that it will work with the JAWS screen reader.
The version of JAWS we are using is 7.10.452 Unicode, The Java Access Bridge version required is version 1.2.
THis problem manifests itself when using the UP and Down arrow keys to move between rows in a mutli-record screen.
The problem is that on using either the Up or Down key JAWS read the content of the current field before moving to the new record and announcing the prompt and content.
Has any one got any solution to this.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches. It only seems to have affected my email messages.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Disabling UP and DOWN arrow keys in JComboBox

I noticed that JComboBox by default toggles the popup menu up or down when it has focus and the user presses UP and DOWN arrow keys (I am working with JRE 1.3.1). I think this is not consistent with the documented key assignments for JComboBox. But -apart of this- I am trying without success to write a JComboBox extension that ignores UP and DOWN keys.
Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
something like this?:public class MyCombo extends JComboBox {
     public MyCombo() {
          super();
          addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
               public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
                    if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP || e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) {
                         e.consume();
}

Up and Down Arrow Keys for BasicComboPopup

How do I get the Up / Down Arrow Keys to work with the BasicComboPopup?
Could someone send me an example, which allows a user to use
the up and down arrow keys to select items in a BasicComboPopup?
Thanks: Alex

How do I get the Up / Down Arrow Keys to work with the BasicComboPopup?With the example that I've provided you at the link shown below:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=454021&forum=57&message=2069966
...it's impossible to trap the keyevents since the combobox is trapping all events! Because the popup's parent is not visible, these events end up in the bits bucket somewhere.
I'll tell you what you have to do (CAVEAT: it's still a bit tricky for beginner):
1) Since a JComboBox is already set up to handle all the events that you need, use the BasicComboPopup created for the JComboBox instead of creating a new one like I showed you.
2) Set the preferred size of the combo box to 0,0 and make it visible (nothing will be actually shown because of the size setting)
3) set the location of the combo box to the same location of the component for which you want to display the popup to make it easier to show the popup
Now, the trick is that by nature, an up/down arrow key will fire an ActionEvent and you'll have to somehow disable that or pull some rabbits out of the hat to determine if the actionPerformed is caused by an arrow key, an Enter key, or a mouse click.
I'm sorta busy right now, so I'll let somebody else who is up to the challenge to tackle the problem for you.
Cheers,

The keyboard for my iMac 9, got wet and is not working correctly. Delete ,return, and some other keys not functioning. In all caps including numerals. I've left it to dry for a few days but still will not work. Computer now in Safe boot mode and I can't login due to all caps and numbers being symbols. Is there anything I can do?

Buy a replacement keyboard. They're only $50-65 USD.

Up and down arrow keys are not working properly when using SQL CLI on Linux

Every time I hit up, down, left, and right arrow keys to return to a previous sql command I got ^[[D, please any hints to fix this issue?
The backspace works fine with me. I tried to use stty to fix this issue with no luck.
Thanks
Mohamed

Which SQL client and Linux version are we talking about?
Assuming you are using the Oracle sqlplus client... it does not support command line editing and history using the arrow keys. For this to work you will have to install a product called Readline Wrapper. See my answer at the General Database forum:
sqlplus command line editing

Left and right Arrow keys Not working now

My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
It is not hardware because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
Any ideas?

You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248

HP Pavilion dv8t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - DOWN ARROW KEY NOT WORKING

Down arrow key doesn't work.
It has to be "warmed -up" by holding it down for like 15-20mins and then it intermittently works.
Suspect a pinched keyboard circuitry....
ANY SOLUTIONS WELCOME
Regards
-Ash-

The easiest solution would be to buy a replacement keyboard or use an external USB keyboard when you need to use the arrow keys. You can find a used keyboard on eBay pretty cheap these days. I just picked one up for a HP G50 for a mere $8 after shipping. Generally there is no way to fix these keyboards if there is a problem in the ribbon cables. Good luck!

Up and down arrow keys do not work

Hi Guys...I need your help...
Since my arrow keys (only up and down) do not work anymore on my iMac (Mac OS X 10.4.11)...No matter in which application...
I have reset the PRAM since I thought that this may solve the problem without any success...does anyone have an idea how to resolve this problem?
Have I maybe pressed any shortcut by mistake, which can lock these keys?? It is a pain to work without these 2 keys
Thanks in advance for the help

You may have switched on [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret caret browsing].
You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.

Arrow key not functioning

My arrow keys are not functioning when I tried to use them to move my objects. They work fine in InDesign and Photoshop, but not responding at all in Illustrator. Anyone knows why?
Thanks!

Always mention the version of Illustrator & the OS you are using.
Check if by any chance the 'Keyboard Increment' in Preferences (Ctrl/Cmd-K) is set to 0.

On my desktop the up and down arrows do not work, they do work when plugged into my laptop.

I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the folder from Win XP and custom re-installed (asking for information not be transferred) . To my surprise my bookmarks had not gone. .Neither had the problem. The up & down arrows do work on Internet Explorer (which I very rarely use).
How can I '''totally''' remove Firefox before a clean re-install as a first step to solving the problem?

Try hitting '''F7''' and see if that changes the action of those arrow keys.
