Keyboard issues in Windows 7 mode

I installed Windows 7 Professional 64bit on my MacPro (late 2008) on a secondary drive. Everything seem to run fine, however I have encountered an issue with keyboard when running a particular software it doesn't respond correctly. The same software with the same settings and the same layout works fine on regular PC running Windows 7.
I contacted support for the software with an issue and they logged on remotely on my computer and didn't have any issues with unresponsive keyboard.
I tried switching to a different keyboard and no results.
Any ideas?

Solved it.
It was this little thing running in the background in my Windows7, had to disable it in the start up menu. It's called 'GID Desktop Application'. It's somehow was 'screwing' with keyboard in that particular software.
I was looking trough the 'logs' and noticed a repeating error, researched the details and found out that that was it.

  • Wireless Trackpad/Keyboard Issue Bootcamp Windows 7

    Hi so i'm pretty much all the way to the part in windows where it tells you "Create User Name/Password"
    1 Problem. My Wireless trackpad and keyboard worked all the way until this point. Now i get nothing. not even a twitch from my mouse
    Keyboar is out too. Has this issue been solved? Do i need to find a usb keyboard? Please help?

    hi, to get past this stage of the instalation you need to use a usb wired mouse, this means a mouse that has a wire and usb to plug into your mac.
    the onscreen keyboard can be found if you click on the icon on the bottom left of the setup screen (looks similar to a wheelchair sgn)
    a usb wireless mouse or keyboard will not work because the wireless drivers are not yet installed in windows. they will install along with all other drivers when you open the bootcamp drive (can be found in win7; "my computer"
    in win 8; "this pc") and click on setup exe. this installs bootcamp on the windows side and installs all the drivers that you downloaded while originally running bootcamp assistant.

    Hello @DavePro,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how you are looking to disable / limit the new tile screen in favor of the start menu. When you are referring to "miniatures", are you talking about the apps on the tile screen? Has your mother's laptop installed the most recent important Windows updates?
    In regards to minimizing the "Metro" UI on your Windows 8.1 computer, I recommend taking a look at this document on How to keep the Windows 8.1 Modern UI out of your way. This should help to utilize the desktop more than the tile menu on your mother's computer.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

    Am I missing something?

    I am encountering the same issue debugging a KMDF driver on VS2012.   Both machines are in the same workgroup and both are running WS2012 Data Center Edition.  I tried running a command prompt and various other items on the target, but
    it never connects.  I even tried running a VM on the local machine in Hyper-V.   Same issue.

  • Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

    read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
    any word ?

    I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
    Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
    I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
    If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.
    (are you still under warranty?)

  • Hp envy 14. Keyboard issues.

    hey all,
    ive been having an issue with my hp envy 14, with windows 7.  This forum seemed the most relevent, as its a keyboard issue.
    So whenever I turn my laptop on the keyboard is non-functional, so I turn it on with alt f5 I believe, this gets the key board functional, I can at this point type in my user password. Next as I type in my password, the capslock button has reversed itself, so when my keyboard shows caps on, caps is off and vice versa. Also, sometimes when im using my computer, it switches between recognizing caps is on or not.
    I recently wiped the laptop, so I believe the issue to be internal.
    This is frustrating to put it lightly, any help appreciated.

    Hi @czrom 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble with your keyboard. I am happy to help. Please post the full product number abd operating system so I can find the correct support pages and drivers for you. Since you mentioned that you just wiped the machine it is likely that some of the drivers are missing.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

  • Firefox freezes trying to download or save files, Import/Export bookmarks, clicking (Tools) Options (was: Fire Fox crashes in Windows safe mode and in Firefox Safe mode)

    Hi
    XP sp3 4gb ram
    Firefox 6.0.2
    Firefox crashes every time I do any of the following. Then I have to force quit Fire fox.
    If i click a download link on a web page, Firefox freezes the instant I click the link
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if I click a web link on a web page or page navigation link.
    If i go to the Menu bar > Tools > Options, Firefox freezes the instant I select Options from the Tools menu.
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if select any other item from the Tools menu.
    If I go to the Menu bar > File, Firefox instantly freezes the instant I select either "Save Page as..." or "Open file..."
    ...but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other option from the File menu such as: New Tab, New Window, Send Link, page Setup, Print, Exit etc
    If I go the Menu Bar > Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup, Firefox instantly freezes the second I select "Import" or "Export"
    ... but Firefox does not freeze if I select any other command in the Bookmarks sub menus, nor does it freeze if I back out of the menu entirely.
    Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
    ...so I have isolated the problem to a limited number of commands in Firefox that cause Firefox to freeze... described above. Everything else in Firefox works fine.
    HERE IS A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAUSES THE FREEZING:
    • Clicking a download link on a webpage
    • Going to the Menu Bar > File and selecting "save as" or "Open File"
    • Going to the Menu bar > Tools and selecting Options.
    • Going to Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks > Import and Backup and selecting either "Import" or "Export"
    • Same as above for History if I select "Import" or "Export"
    Everything else in Firefox works fine. I went through every menu command and checked for freezes. Only the commands I mentioned above cause the freezing.
    I tried the following to try to fix it:
    • Reset my modem and router (Problem still exists)
    • Uninstalled FF. Deleted folders, profiles (Downloads.sqlite), Registry entries. Reinstalled. (Problem still exists)
    • Restarted FF in Firefox safe mode. (Problem still exists)
    • Restarted in Windows Safe mode and then started FF in Firefox safe mode (Problem still exists)
    • Disabled Window firewall. Disabled ZoneAlarm firewall, Shutdown ZoneAlarm firewall. Set Internel Options to default settings. (Problem still exists)
    • I reset the config option: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false
    What does work?
    • Firefox does not crash when I click a link an go a website, navigate a page, use a menu item command.
    • Firefox works fine on my other computer.
    • Internet Explorer works fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
    • My other applications work fine on the computer that Firefox is having a problem on.
    I want to add that, I just overcame the XP Recovery Virus by following a post that suggested running the following software to fix the virus. Everything seems back to normal except Firefox.
    The software I ran to fix the problem are listed below:
    • malwarebytes
    • superantispyware
    • ccleaner
    • combofix.
    • smart defrag
    • then load a good anti-virus. (I ran Zone Alarm virus scan)

    Hi.
    This is about a question you posted to the Firefox Support forum three months ago (I'm sorry you never got an answer).
    Did you ever fix the problem where Firefox freezes or hangs, when clicking a download link or using (File menu) "save as" or "open file"? Or when going to the Firefox (Tools) menu and clicking Options ? Or trying to Import or Export bookmarks?
    I found this thread searching for a solution for someone on MozillaZine's support forum who's having a similar issue. See this thread: (maybe something he's tried that didn't work for him will work for you?)

  • Can't attach USB devices in Windows XP Mode

    I am still trying to set up my new Probook G1 450.  It is presently in the original Win 7 Pro 64-bit OS.
    I am trying to use Windows XP Mode.  I can set up XP Mode, but I can't get USB access under it. But for me, the whole point of getting XP Mode is to be able to run two key programs which require USB access. The USB devices have been successfully installed in Win 7 (it's the programs that require XP Mode).
    I have tried with VMLiteXPMode, Virtual Box, and finally with Windows Virtual PC. The results are about the same. I am presently trying Windox Virtual PC. When I access the USB button on the top of the XP Mode box, there is a list of all the USB devices. This looks like things are fine. All the devices are there. Hooray. Oops, too soon! It still doesn't work. One still has to "attach" the USB device, by clicking its listing under USB devices. When I do this, I get the following error message:
    "Could not attach the USB device. You can attach the USB to a different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again."
    Yes, I can and have done all those things, and  I get the same error message again and again and again. This is true for all USB devices (except the USB mouse, which works perfectly and automatically in XP mode and is *not* listed under USB):
    * Epson Perfection scanner 
    * HP Laserject printer
    * the computer's own HP HD Webcam,
    and
    * the computer's own Wireless/Bluetooth Device
    For example, the scanner and printer will work well in the host machine, where I have installed them, but they can't be "attached" in XP Mode.
    Notes:
    * I have enabled "integration features"
    * I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the devices.
    * If I try to install the printer in XP Mode, I can't do that, because this requires, at some point, the printer being plugged in to the USB. And I get the above error message when I try to attach it.
    Also I have already had to deal with one driver issue (it came with the wrong driver for wireless; the right driver wasn't on the HP support page and couldn't be obtained by the computer's own "update' function),  but when I finally discovered the right driver, wireless worked flawlessly
    There is yet another possible driver issue, but I'll leave that for another topic later. One thing at a time.

  • Firefox has stopped working in Windows 7 but works in Windows safe mode

    I am sending this from a different computer on which Firefox works fine. My problem is on a Windows 7 PC -- in the past few days Firefox has stopped working in normal mode but works ok in Windows safe mode. I keep getting a Windows error message that it has stopped working and I will be notified if there is a solution. Of course, I am never notified. I have tried resetting Firefox when in Windows safe mode, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, after having deleted all the program folders and appdate. I've exhausted every possible fix I could find in the Mozilla support forums but I still can's solve the problem. Can you help please?

  • My HP Pavilion 775C with Windows XP 32 bit SP3 has begun to startup in Windows Recovery Mode.

    I have had many problems with my Pavilion a775c desktop, running XP 32 Bit with SP3 and 2.5 G Ram.  I was receiving a Fatal Error message 1327 that Drive M did not exist.  I did a selective startup eliminating the programs I thought were causing this but that did not help.  Then I cleaned away all the files for any HP printer, and for my current printer, an  Officejet j3680 All-in-One, and then reinstalled it.  That took care of the fatal error message but I began to get a message that my DRive D was out of memory.  I deleted some regular files that were previously stored on that drive before I increased the memory on my Drive C but I continued to receive that message.  I cleaned the registry with Registry Mechanic and then deleted files I though would not harm the computer and I no longer get the Drive D low on memory message but now the computer starts up each time in recovery mode and If I'm not there to select the Windows XP option it goes to a dos screen but nothing ever happens from there.   I'm not that familiar with DOS and don't know anything except to type EXIT which I did and the computer would reboot giving my an opportunity to select Windows XP.  Now, however, it won't allow me to type EXIT.  I must instead hit enter and then it goes to the screen that allows me to select the Windows environment.  I really don't want to have to do this each time I start up.  Can anyone help?

    I am not that familiar anymore with troubleshooting Windows XP, but way back in the day I seem to recall that the Windows recovery console would be used to fix issues like the one you're describing. It sounds like you may have a corrupted boot sector if it keeps going into the windows recovery mode.  The solution could be as simple as using the last known good configuration or possibly doing a system restore.  You may want to try this link on Technet that explains the recovery console and the tools available in it like fixmbr..

  • In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

    Just did a clean install of windows 7.  I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode.  Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated.  I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
    XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0.  I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP.  The Install of the program went fine and completed.
     Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run.  I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application.  Once I clicked it the time glass on the  mouse was there for a few seconds and
    then went away without the application starting up at all.  One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?  Any Ideas how
    to get the program to run?  Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that.  Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
    Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application.  Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode.  So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
    my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode?  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
    A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
    double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
    In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
    - The database files are marked as Read Only
    - The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
    - Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
    Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
    close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
    Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
    By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
    Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
    Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
    Microsoft .NET 1.0
    Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
    .NET 1.0.
    Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
    on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
    error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
    I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
    Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
    During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
    to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

  • "cannot complete windows setup" Windows xp mode on Windows 7 professional

    I am currently having a problem loading windows xp mode on windows 7 professional on my new laptop
    Laptop specs
    LENOVO
    Processor: AMD A6-5350M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Grapihcs 2.90 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.15 GB usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    experiencing the same issues you are describing on what appears to be the same model of computer.  Can anyone provide additional information on applying the suggested hotfix?  
    @Rick Dee - After installing both XP mode and Virtual PC service pack on the computer XP mode appears in the list of Virtual Machines.  After running through the initial set up of the VM (Windows XP Mode) listed in ~/<user>/virtual machines, the
    setup of the VM fails with the error, "cannot complete windows setup".  
    I use a vhd that I deploy to all my client computers to run XP mode.  I have deployed this vhd on at least 5 other laptops with the same specs from the same manufacturer.  On this particular machine though, when I tried to deploy this vhd, the
    vm just hangs.  So I have been trying to install the distributed copy of Windows XP mode from Microsoft.  When I do this, I get the error.  

  • Windows 7 - "Cannot complete setup" of Windows XP Mode

    I am running Win 7 OEM 64 bit PRO on new PC:
    AMD FX-8120, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 MOBO, latest BIOS
    The setup gets to 99% then fails with the above message. So far I have tried:
    Ensuring Virtualisation is on in BIOS
    There are no bootable disks in the drive
    I am running as admin with my own account logon name
    I have run SFC - no conflicts
    Yes I have downloaded the correct XP mode file
    I have re-installed Win 7 and tried to run before installing any drivers or apps  - same problem.
    Now what? I tried vmware but the standalone converter gave me an error message saying it was not configured properly.  I suspect either a policy problem with Win 7 or a MOBO bios incompatibility. Anyone got any ideas?

    @robonline
    I believe I'm seeing this same issue as well, I've got a windows 7 system that was running with an Athlon II 250 on which Windows XP mode installed and worked perfectly.
    However when I upgraded the CPU to an AMD FX-8150 (in an otherwise unchanged system) Windows XP mode no longer starts properly, it seems to hang before the Virtual PC starts to boot the OS (so possibly either during BIOS POST, or right
    at the transition.
    I've discovered that it doesn't ALWAYS fail, and if power of the Virtual PC and Start it again a few times in quick succession it seems to then get past what ever point causes the problem and then boots the XP Virtual PC and
    it works normally until it's next turned off.
    So if you need XP mode (as I do for some work applications) the (crazy) work around might be to install XP mode with a none bulldozer CPU (if the try, try, try again method doesn't get the installer to work) you can probably get it to
    start once you change back to your bulldozer CPU by simply trying to start the installed OS a few times in short succession.
