Control Key Toggles Mut

My left control key toggles mute for some **bleep** reason after i installed this X-FI, its an Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro series. I can not find settings for hot keys in the audio console or anywhere else. Any help here?
I am on winxp pro, just installed no applications but default drivers for everything.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50856.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.

  • How to remap volume control keys on aluminum keyboard?

    I want to remap my volume control keys (increase, decrease and mute toggle) to F16, F17, and F18 on my new aluminum keyboard. But I can't figure out how to do this. I called AppleCare tech support and was told that volume key location is hardwired into the keyboard. Say it ain't so! There's got to be a way, right?
    Help?
    thank you!

    I second this, I still think this was a poor decision on Apple's part. I loved real media keys, this is not a laptop keyboard, (Fn)+(..) should not be necessary. My real complaint comes from IF i can get it to remap in OSX i am still stuck with it as is in Bootcamp. No remapping programs work with (Fn) in XP.
    Sorry for the rant but I have actually stopped using the keyboard because of this and finally went back to it to try again.

  • Control key remapping broken

    I want to remap the control key to the caps lock on my PB.
    To do this, I used System Preferences -> Hardware -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Modifier Keys to make both caps lock and control keys perform the control action.
    The result is unreliable.
    Usually both keys perform the control action.
    But the caps lock key gets stuck doing only control, or only no effect. It's as if it were still a toggle key like caps lock, not a shift key like a control.
    Is this a known bug?

    As I wrote above, I've never seen it reported in any of the tens of thousands of Powerbook-related posts I've read in the last five years. So I don't think it's a "known bug," if what you mean by a "bug" is a design flaw in Apple's software. It may be a hardware problem in your particular Powerbook, but I doubt that it afflicts all PBs of that model, because I think we'd have heard about it before if it did. And I suspect the same would be true if it were a software bug. So the only thing I can suggest is taking the PB to an Apple Store Genius Bar (make an appointment first) and seeing what the Genius thinks about it after you demonstrate it to him/her.
    A year or two ago, you could have reported your problem through Apple's Product Feedback channel for Powerbooks, but because Apple isn't going to make any changes to out-of-production Powerbooks now, that channel has been closed. You could use the OS X channel, though.

  • JTree - Simulate that control key is down.

    I am working on a global functionality for the whole application that simulate the control keyboard button is down. For a JTable the changeSelection method can be used to simulate the control key down, but are their any similar method for JTree or some other solution to the problem.

    Thanks,
    but I am going to implement a toggle button in the toolbar that are going to work globally. You must be able to toggle on and of and it is going to work in different frames.

  • Control Key activates Caps Lock in wmii-3.5

    I have an odd situation occur only when using wmii-3.5.  Whenever I press the Control key, the Caps Lock Key is toggled.  I'm using the wmiirc file that ships with the wmii package and have not made any changes to it.  I don't have this problem in fluxbox or xfce.  I looked at the wmiirc and there doesn't seem to be any config there that would lead to this.  Any  ideas?
    Thanks!

    The wiki page for wmii says to put 'setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps' in your .xinitrc which will swap the ctrl and caps lock keys. Remove that line and restart X.

  • Hot Keys toggle state of toggle switch

    How can I prevent a toggle switch from updating it's GUI state when it is accessed via Hot Key (Alt + letter)?
    I want to be able to do this without Disabling the control,  and without setting the control to Indicator mode.  I created a callback to swallow the event_commit.  The control still toggles state when using hot keys but not when clicking the control. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    While thinking about your problem it has occurred to me to experiment with some SDK function to check whether the accelerator key function could be diabled. While I haven't succeeded in it, I have noted that if you install a system hot key via RegisterHotKey SDK function it has precedence over the accelerator CVI installs while adding a double underscore somewhere in the control label. That is, even if the accelerator sign is present, a system hot key comes before and prevents the button callback to be fired. That could be a feasible solution for your actual problem.
    I made up a fast example that shows all this matter: you can test all combinations of hotkeys installed on the control and see what happens.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • Media controls keys does not work on iTunes?

    My keyboard has those "Media Controls Keys" on it (just like Play or Stop etc.) but it won't work with iTunes, unless iTunes is on the front of all windows. I used to use Windows Media Player and it can work with the Media Controls Keys even the player is minimised. Are there any ways simply changing settings with iTunes and solve the problem?

    Hello,
    I don't have a W541 myself, but here are a few things to check, in no particular order:
    Have you checked with your IT department?  Maybe they set a poilicy to disable the card reader.
    Is the card reader correctly enabled in the UEFI firmware?
    Have you run ThinkVantage System Update and Microsoft Update to confirm all of the various Lenovo and Microsoft updates are installed?
    Do you still have the OS image the device originally shipped with?  If so, does the card reader work under that?
    Regards,

  • Control key (^) combined shortcuts does not work on mac book pro

    All shortcut combinations with the control key (^) do not work. I´m using Mac Book Pro 13 (late 2013) with Os X Mavericks 10.9.4

    The Logic Board is the Main system board. In the Windows world better known as the Motherboard. Except with Apple Mac computers the CPU and the GPU are Soldered to the logic board and if it is a Retina screen model the RAM is also Soldered to it.
    So replacing the Logic board is like replacing the compete system and costs accordingly.
    But there isn't much else you can do if you can't get that switch unstuck. Or just go without sound from the built in speakers. They aren't that good anyway.

  • HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

    HELP!  Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

    If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click  and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
    In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

  • Purchase order  does not contain a confirmation control key

    Hi expert
    I have not set any confirmation control key in Purchasare order, still at the Migo, system is showing error  at depot.
    I have check the same thing with manufacturing plant, system dont show me any error.
    Regard
    Nabil

    Hi,
    I f the confirmation control key is maintained in PUR.info record is automatically will fetch into PO though you have not selected manually in PO. The CC maintained in vendor master or PIR can copy into PO. In your case please see whether inbound delivery is needed to perform GR? CC implies many types of confirmations like order acknowledgement, advanced shipping notification or confirmation of delivery dates. Please see specifically to the error. Try to know the type confirmation system needs to post GR. Thanking you.

  • MIGO error 'Purchase Order does not contain a confirmation control key'

    Hi,
    while posting GR to a PO i am getting an error ' Purchase order XXXXXXXXX does not contain a confirmation control key'
    it is true that i have not defined any confirmation control key in PO, Aknowled rerd checkbox is also not ticked
    Still why this message coming, what setting would be bringing this message
    Please clarity

    Hi,
    Until the installation of Note 589422 (with SP SAPKH46C43) you could  due to a program error - create a delivery even though the purchase order did not contain any confirmation control key.                                                                               
    This is now prevented through error message M7394. The transfer of this check (Confirmation control key existing in the purchase order, see Note 589422) was necessary as otherwise you could post a purchase order as desired. (Refer to also Note 616944 -> SAPKH46C44)
    589422 Several inbound deliveries can be created with MIGO :                                                                               
    "Implement the program correction.                                       
    With Transaction SE91 create message M7394 with the message text:        
    Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".         
    After you implemented this correction, when you want to create an        
    inbound delivery with Transaction MB01 or MIGO or with                   
    BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE and if the purchase order does not contain a        
    confirmation control key the system displays error message M7394         
    "Purchase order & & does not contain a confirmation control key".                                                                               
    Hope this can explain the error you met.

  • What can I do to prevent the control key from not working in the future?

    Background:
    I bough an macbook pro about 1 year and 3 months ago and after 9 months of usage my control key stopped working for about an hour or two.This happened every time I turned on or awoke my mac from sleep (lid down).I sent it to an authorized apple service center and they replaced the keyboard.Everything was fine for about 4-5 months when the same thing happened again, ctrl key stopped working but this time not when turning on my mac but at random times and for random intervals.I sent it again to the service center but they told me that this time it won't be for free because my 1 year warranty has expired.I should mention that in European Union and Romania (the country where I am from and from which the mac was purchased) the law is that any electronics device sold has to come with at least 2 years of warranty.Apple seems to ingore this law.
    Anyway, after long conversations with apple uk on the phone they agreed to pay for the keyboard but not for the labor which was 70 eur ($100).It's not much but my 2 year warranty should have covered it.The sad part is that I have no guarantee that it's indeed a keyboard error and not something else, this might happen again in 4 months and I doubt this time apple would agree paying for the keyboard (which is 150eur) ($215).
    I should also mention that before calling apple uk I tried apple's romanian number (listed on their site) and it didn't work on the 3 phone networks that I've tried (2 fixed and one mobile) which led me to believe that apple support is in fact a big joke.
    Suffice to say that I will no longer purchase any apple devices or software, I regret purchasing mac os x lion just a week ago, when I will no longer use it because I intend to sell all my apple gear (timecapsule, iphone4, macbook pro) and buy stuff from companies that value their customers and respect their contracts.
    My questions are this:
    1) why does apple ignore EU and Romanian law?
    2) what can I do to prevent this from happening in the future
    3) can I request that my macbook be more thoroughly inspected? I suspect the keyboard is not the main problem and it will soon happen again as it happened two times already.
    4) can I do something for the repair labor charge to be waved? It is illegal in my country to ask for one in this scenario...

    Everyone reading your posts here is just another MacBook Pro user. We're all volunteers, not Apple employees. No one here can speak for Apple.
    In my personal opinion, buying Apple products in a country where Apple has no stores and no corporate presence is a risk that the buyer takes knowingly. I don't think it's a wise risk, and I don't recommend that anyone take it. A small percentage of the products sold anywhere are going to have problems, and it makes more sense to buy an inferior product that can at least be serviced locally than to buy a superior product that may have to be sent thousands of miles for repair if anything ever goes wrong with it.

  • Control key no longer works after update.

    After updating Lion the control key no longer works. It beeps when pressing control and then a number key but nothing happens.
    This is left control key though. Right still works?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.
