How to disable action keys and hotkeys??

Hi, ihave HP G56 Notebook PC
i have all these strange hotkeys on my laptop doing non-standard things.. it's pretty confusing.. Alt-F4 doesn't work anymore, for instance, since the F4 key is now a monitor key.. How can i make it also the F1-F12 keys by default.. like when i press F1 it's just F1.. because when i play a game on my laptop when i press F1 key it doesn't work..
Please Help me!!
Thanks..

You Can disable that functionality by disabling "Action Keys Mode" in the BIOS...
Here is the document, that will help you with it... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US

Qosmio F50 - How do I bring the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys to work on Windows XP?

Hello.
I downgraded my Qosmio F50-137 to XP, found every driver needed for hardware recognition, but am still looking for the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys to work.
I know (or at least think) that I have to install the "Toshiba Hotkey Utility".
But this utility needs the "Toshiba common module" for Windows XP to be installed.
I fond on the web two common modules for Windows XP:
common_modules_2489A
and
common_modules_24895A
The first one says "This software utility does not support this system.Installation will be terminated"
The second one says "TVALZ driver installation has failed"
How can I make the installation work properly? or How can I make the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys work on my F-50 ?
Thank you in advance

Ok sorry for not answering the questions but I have to find a webpage to answer a few things...
{quote:title=I said:}I've found the XP drivers of other components for my computer on the Toshiba European driver page {quote}
But I'm not sure it was there, since going there and trying to find the page again drove me to the normal driver page.
I'm asking your help me finding the page where:
- You choose your computer in a column by type and then the next column apperar (on it's right), until you have selected your computer, and a button "choose now" appear.
- When you click this last button, you land in a page where you have more drivers than in the normal driver page of toshiba (for me I had the option of Windows XP, while I don't have it on the normal page)
- I'm preety sure it was on the toshiba-website, but I don't remember how to find this page again... And since I already formatted...
I'll continue looking if I can find it again, if someone knows this page, please tell me/us...
thank you in advance.

How to disable the dashboard and spotlight for the latest Iion OS

How to disable the dashboard and sportlight function in the latest Mac OS?

to disable spotlight, open the terminal and type "sudo mdutil -a -i off" without the quotes. ( You will be prompted to enter your admin password.)
to disable dashboard:
Open Terminal, and then type this command, followed by the Return key:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
This tells the system that you no longer wish to have Dashboard available. However, the Dashboard task is actually “owned” by the Dock, so to make your changes take effect, you need to restart the Dock. The easiest way to do that is to type this command into the Terminal (and press Return when done):
killall Dock
After the Dock restarts, hit F12 and you’ll see…nothing at all. If you run Activity Monitor, you also won’t find any Dashboard widgets in the list of tasks, even if you had several open when you ran the above command.

How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
Any help would be appreciated.

NeoChang:
You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
Disable JavaScript:
REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
Disable Browser Integration:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go black as well as the tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
Thanks

My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
Thanks everyone for chiming in!

How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog

How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog. I have an application which has JDialog box, but in that i should not have maximize and minimize button.If any one come across this problem and got a solution please helpout me.

Btw, isn't it a little strange to ask thisquestion...
Actually, I thought it was meant to be sardonic...
Dialogs don't have those buttons, so the question
n should be to the OP how did he/she get them in the
first place? Cuz they aren't using JDialog to do it,
unless it's something to do with a specific look &
feel.I somehow missed that, good point :-)

How to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA

hello,
my spec is
cpu corei5 ivybridge
mis zh77A GA43
vga hd7770 msi
i want to know, how to disable external VGA and also enable onboard VGA ??
and
i want to ask too, if i disable external VGA In MB, it is my external VGA still consumption power? or i must unplug my external VGA ?
how much different power consumption between external VGA and onboard VGA on idle time?
because my computer each night be used for download, i want to save power as i can...
also there is a eco mode? i want to know about eco mode, how much power can be save under eco mode? on idle time computer
sorry my bad english

Well remove the HD7770 and is disabled and doesn't consume any power. You can't enable or disable it the discrete vga when pc is in use. That board does also not support Virtu.
The possible power saving beacuse of eco mode depends on the individual systems. There is no general value. Just try it.

How to disable "Enter" key - urgent

- i have on my site one site password protected. Now i don't want that users cann use Enter key when they write password. Only when the click with mouse. For that i have onClick="..."
How can i disable only enter key?
Thanks

Don't want the user to press the Enter key... who
thinks up these ideas anyway? It never ceases to
amaze me.Internet team in one of my early carrer companies were having problems with a search field on their web project... When the user pressed enter they were getting an error, but it worked when they clicked with the mouse.
So they decided to remove the ability of the user to press enter, rather than figure out what was wrong and fix it... But they couldn't figure out how to disable the enter button either, so they just put red text below the search field asking users to click on the button and not to press enter...

How to disable right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?

Hello All,
We are currently working on an issue. We want to display a pdf to users but not allow them to save it. Though we are able to hide the menubar and toolbars, the Shortcuts F8, F9 and Ctrl+Shift+S is the undoing of all. The user can still use these shortcuts to enable toolbar and menubar. Can anyone suggest how to disable the right-click and keyboard shortcuts in adobe reader?
Thanks in Advance

Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

How to disable automatic login and to see other accounts?

I bought MacBook Pro Retina with Mac OS X 10.8.2 in a shop, where there already was account "kiosk".
I created new account, gave him Administrator priviliges.
In the Preferences / Users & Groups I see kiosk account as "Managed", and my new account as "Admin".
I set:
System Preferences / Security & Privacy / General / Disable automatic login = Checked.
System Preferences / Users & Groups / Login Options / Automatic login = Off.
But still I have two issues:
1) After start the laptop automatically logins into kiosk account, while I explicitly switched off this option
2) Apart from kiosk account, the OS doesn't see any other accounts, for example my new account.
For example, when I changed login shell for kiosk account into /usr/bin/false, I couldn't login at all. The OS said something like, there are no active accounts. So I had to set login shell back to /bin/bash using single-user mode.
The questions are:
How to disable automatic login into kiosk account?
How to see a choice between kiosk account and my new account in the login dialog?
How to delete kiosk account? Currently the delete option is disabled for kiosk in System Preferences / Users & Groups.
So far after laptop start I automatically login into kiosk, then switch into my new account with entering a password, which is weird.
Thanks in advance.

It is your only option if you want to get rid of that other user account. It seems the system is Hard Set to boot to that account. How and why I have not Idea but the first thing you should of done was Restoring it to the Original OS, if it was not Mt Lion to begin with, in doing so getting rid of all other accounts and files from that other account.
Time to Bit the Bullet and Erase the drive completely and reinstall the original shipping version of OS X on that system.

How to disable repeating keys

I need to accent some characters when typing in French. According to what I read, repeat keys should no longer work in Mountain Lion, except for asterisks and dots etc. In theory I should be able, by holding down the letter on the keyboard, to get a pop-up panel of possible accents to use. But I am getting repeat keys instead. I have tried using Lion Tweaks to use the 'disable repeating keys' function and although I get the message that is has been done, it hasn't. Can anyone help?

I can't explain why you are not getting the accents, but you can still use the key-chords to type accented characters.
Press Option (alt) + Accent key, release the keys, then press the letter. For example, press Option-i, then o to get ô.
If you have the input menu active, you can use the Keyboard Viewer to see the Accent keys. Open the viewer and press the Option key. The Orange highlighted keys will display the accents under them.
