Ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore

Hi,
We have an HP probook G0 where the combination ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore.
- The issue is only with the left ctrl Key. When we use the right ctrl key, ctrl alt delete works
- When I check the onscreen keyboard in windows, the left ctrl key does react, so the key is'nt hardware defected.
With external keyboard everything works also fine.
Laptop has the latest HP updates.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
thx!

thx prob is solved just had to double-click on the window  , also performed a virus-scan, but no viruses were found, i do use pc-cilin 2002 (up to date) i hope it's sufficient, because norton is way much better, i know, but i just don't want to spend any money on a damn anti-virus prog...just used the one that came with my mobo

  • HT201612 how to use ctrl+alt+delete to restart with boot camp

    how to use (ctrl+alt+delete) to restart?

    You press all the keys (ctrl+alt+delete) at once
    Some information
    In a personal computer with the Windows operating system, Ctrl-Alt-Delete is the combination of keyboard keys that the computer user can press at the same time to terminate an application task or to reboot the operating system (have it shut down and restart itself). In Windows 95 or any later systems, Ctrl-Alt-Delete brings up a window that allows a user to see the status of all currently running programs and to terminate any of them, and also offers the options of shutting down, restarting, and so on (the specific options vary slightly with the particular version of windows). In Windows 95 or 98, if Ctrl-Alt-Delete is pressed a second time or twice in a row quickly, the operating system closes all programs that are running and then restarts.
    When the operating system seems to hang suspended while waiting for an application program to continue, a user is also left without a way to regain control of the system. The Ctrl-Alt-Delete key combination allows the user to terminate the "hung" application and, if that doesn't work, to reboot the system. The system can also be restarted using the mouse to select Start-->Turn Off the System-->Restart. However, Ctrl-Alt-Delete sometimes works when the menu option doesn't.

    Hi
    Try to run the tests below
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01443317
    If it passes then call Hp and let them know that the F11 recovery is not working and you would like to get recovery Disks they will send you the OS disks so that you can reinstall the OS back on to your unit.
    Hope this helps.

  • BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart.

    Hello there!
    I'm having trouble since i formatted my t61's primary hard drive, after i did that i thought i could recover the operating system simply by using the recovery DVD's but for my surprise when i turned on the laptop to begin the recovery process this message appeared on a black screen BOOTMGR is missing press ctrl+alt+delete to restart... even tho i put the 1rst recovery disc in the DVD drive. After that i tried the 2nd one which is the operating system recovery DVD and still got the same message. What can i do?? I do have an old yet functional thinkpad HDD that came with the computer with vista, R&R and the lenovo preloaded softwares in it, i don't use it anymore because i replaced it with an HD with more GB which now is (was) my primary HD but I don't have the original windows vista DVD just have the 4 recovery DVD's, one thing I'm concerned of is that if i install windows vista again from an original vista DVD then i wont be able to have all the lenovo preloaded software (productivity center, rescue and recovery and all that). PLEASE help! Thank you in advanced.

    Welcome to the forums
    If you have an original Vista DVD you can try to repair the bootmanager of your laptop.MIcrosoft has 4 resolutions for this try them

  • MS-RDP to vDesktop - ctrl-alt-delete

    This is cute, right ctrl-alt-delete doesn't work, insert-alt-delete (like vmware) doesnt work...the local (laptop or desktop) always responds.
    How do you get the ctrl-alt-delete to be sent to a MS-RDP window to login to an virtual XP machine.
    Does this normally work? What am I missing?
    sorry for the dumb question.
    ron

    OK, now what...
    ctrl-alt-end works when you are sitting on a hardware computer, using MS-RDP to get to a VM. cltrl-alt-end gets the attention of the VM in MS-RDP.
    So, then, once I login to the VM, I want to MS-RDP to another computer...how do I get the attention of that computer...
    ctrl-alt-delete - first machine
    ctrl-alt-end - second machine from the first machine
    ???-???-??? - third machine from the second machine

  • Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

    I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
    I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)
    [http://i53.tinypic.com/161hvh2.jpg The white rectangle]
    [http://i51.tinypic.com/dwsq1.png Error message]

    Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

  • Ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP. Where is Pause button?

    How to do the ctrl+alt delete in Windows XP?
    Where can I find the Pause button you see on regular keyboard?

    Search the Discussion Board using "ctrlaltdel" as the string. There are a number of possible solutions posted, including key remappers and external keyboards. kierrep posted the following answer earlier this month, and the questioner gave the post a star:
    Try "input remapper" instead:

    this programm is amazing for windows on a mac!
    -it enables the fn-keys (for display brightnes and volume)
    -the right click is the second enter key on your key board
    -fn-eject works like print screen
    -for contorl-alt-delte: fn-ctrl-alt-backspace (of course: delete = fn-backspace)

  • Tecra M5 - Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete splash screen appears while booting

    Wondered if anyone has come across this before...
    Tecra M5 boots up ok and arrives at the "Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete" splash screen... the "Help" button is permanently "selected" so as soon as I press CTRL and ALT the explanation (Help) screen comes up telling me what to do... and I can't get past that at all... I've tried attaching a USB keyboard with the same result. I need to somehow "clear" the Help button ....
    Any idea's gratefully received.

    Problem solved... use the Alt GR key instead... worked first time !!

  • Ctrl+Alt+Delete on Java Forte

    Please help, I Installed Java forte on top of Window 2000, I compiled my java and take a break by locking out the window (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and the whole system is scratched. Any clues???? Thanks

    Forgive me for replying to such an old posting, but it is one of the first results in google for "bootcamp ctrl alt delete"
    If you're stuck at the windows login screen, press the Apple key + U then activate the onscreen keyboard to click Ctrl Alt Delete.
    Once you've done that, besure to install the Bootcamp software in Windows. After that, Ctrl / Alt / delete (backspace) will work.

  • HP g7 Laptop - "A Read Disk Error Has Occured - Use Ctrl Alt Delete to restart"

    I recently ran into a problem with my HP g7 Laptop. Purchased from Fry's less than 8 months ago.
    The issue i ran into is - when turning on the Laptop
    1st the monitor did not appear to come on...but it had its just that the montior was not
    showing illuminence...
    i ran into the DOS message:
    "A read disk error has occured
    Use ctrl alt delete to restart"
    which i did but did not work. I took apart the laptop to examine the hard drive and based on visual review did not appear to be damaged. Though I was shocked to see the hard drive is a SEAGATE product! which i have found to be a NOT RELIABLE hard drive product. I feared the worst knowing i had lost what I had saved and backed up on the C/D drive portion of the Hard Drive. Using a Flashlight to see what appeared on the monitor, I was able to perform the HP Recovery options on the computer but each option ended with the computer replying to the effect the it could not detect or there was no hard drive or c: - anything...which confused me because why was the laptop allowing to performing the recovery options. The last option i tried was to restore laptop to original factory settings. When it completed and I click the button for the system to restart the next error message i received was that "BOOTMRG missing - use ctrl alt delete to restart"
    which again did not work.
    Can you please bottom line it for me...have i experienced a HD crash and if so how can i know if this is covered under manufacture warrenty? It is upsetting to know that only after 8months of having this product, which i have been very happy with, until now, that the HD experiences a crash. none of the reviews for this product that i have read indicates this problem occuring!
    if this is a HD crash, also i am going to have to purchase a new HD correct, if not covered under warrenty?
    please help! spending over $600 for the Laptop and it only lasting a little over 8 months is not acceptable!
    Sincerely
    Frustrated Customer
    San Jose, CA

    Hi admiral74,
    Call in and speak to a customer service rep. That will be the only way to know if it is still covered by warranty.
    Good luck!
