  • Disabling the F1 Windows Help and Support key

    Hello! I see there's lots of people that have been having this problem, but I felt I was in a unique (HA) position in that I have a Windows 8 OS, so the problem can't be solved following the steps to a Windows 7 solution. I've tried several things.
    First off, background; I have an HP 2000 laptop running Windows 8. I have wanted to use the function keys in a video game, but they were set as macromedia function priority. I went into BIOS and switched the action keys to DISABLED so that I could use FN+F
    Key in order to use the macromedia, and instead they revert to normal function. This is fine. BUT: It only worked for F2-F12. The F1 key is still mapped to open Windows Help and Support. I've tried to rename the helppane.exe (I am admin but only "Trusted
    Installer" can modify the file), and ran into problems. SO I tried to follow the steps to use regedit to block the helppane.exe, but the .exe isn't located where it is on a Windows 7 machine. 
    I have been working to try to find a solution to this problem for going on hours now, with no recourse. ANY solutions would be very welcome. Thank you. 

    You sure you already save after changing setting in BIOS
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=id&dlc=en&lc=en
    If yes, find your model in HP site and find the update BIOS, update your BIOS, and try again
    since this PC OEM. HP will provide better answer for you, and if you keyboard also comes with extra software I suggest to uninstall it first to check

  • Windows Help and Support Message box keeps popping up

    I am not really sure what happened but my keyboard stopped working.  It kept typing out random letters and not the ones I typed.   At the same this "Windows Help and Support" box started popping up.  So, I can't use my keyboard but the pop up window keeps interuping Netflix and vidoes and I can't watch them and  Word documents.  Pretty much anything I do gets interupted by this box and stops whatever I am trying to which is trying to build a website at the moment. 
    I uninstalled the support.   It no longer appears in my program list but the box still keeping popping up and stopping everything I am doing. 
    What I am suppose to do?  It doesn't say its the HP Support it says "Windows Help and Support" at the top of the box. 
    I have tried everything.

  • Windows Help and Support screen glitch? And keyboard malfunction! Help!

    I have 3 problems. At the log in screen of my hp stream notebook 11, I wasn't able to complete my password due to a malfunction in one of the keyboard keys. I shut down the computer and came back later to try again. It worked but when I logged in, the Windows Help and Support screen kept repeatedly popping up even when x'd out. I would let it repeatedly pop up (like a glitch) and I would x it out and it would go away. Also as I was typing in anything (wordpad, internet, search), every other key letters and numbers were acting as shortcuts to different screens such as apps, the log in screen, control panel etc. then the Windows Help and Support screen would pop back up again as a glitch. Please help!

    Hi @aaliyah22 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    You mention three different issues, and I am happy to assist with this. Obviously we need to start with the keyboard. As it is just the one key you describe as  a problem, I would try a cleaning. You could see if some compressed air helps first as some debris may have gotten into it. Also you can look at these two pages and see if anything helps.
    Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
    Cleaning your Notebook PC
    The other two problems sound a lot like something like a software or possibly a malware related issue, but you can start with trying a system restore to a point before the problem began and see if that helps.Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    Then take a look at these.

  • Cannot contact Windows Help and Support Centre as I receive the message "An ActiveX control on this page is not safe, your current settings prohibit running unsafe controls on this page". My ISP says this is a Mozilla incompatibility?

    I run Windows XPSP2, my ISP is BT Broadband, security suite is BT NetProtect Plus which is essentially a McAfee product. I am having trouble with a printer connection - when I turn it on I receive a message "USB Device not recognised". I have done usual things turned off, unplugged, replugged with identical lead that is known to be OK, uninstalled software and tried to reinstall from CD (cannot complete as message recived again as oon as I turn on printer). Final solution is to click on this message as it advises to obtain USB troubleshooting advice from Microsoft Help and Support Centre. This is when I get message in my original question which prevents me going further. I have accessed Windows/Contol Panel/Internet/Security and set level to medium but this makes no difference. Contacting my ISP, I was told this was an incompatibility issue with Mozilla. If so I have no way of finding out what my connection problem is.

    ActiveX is an Internet Explorer plugin system and will not work on Firefox or many other browsers. To use ActiveX you will need to use Internet Explorer.

  • HP Total Care, HP Help and Support not working.

    When I try to use HP Help and Support, I click on almost any type of scan or help it launches the Note Pad which is filled with multiple symbols.  I'm using Vista 32 on an HP Notebook.

    I'm also having the same problem with my HP Notebook running on Vista x64. When I use HP Help and Support it launches Notepad filled with characters. The same thing happens when I launch Activation Assistant for Microsoft Office 2007. The Notepad opens and display some characters. I reinstalled the HP Help and Support from my Recovery Manager but did not solve the problem. I downloaded the utility from HP support site but my problem became worse. The HP Help and Support Customization disappeared. When I select some of the links on the Vista Help and Support (now without the HP customization), the Notepad still opens with the characters. By the way, when I reinstall the HP Help and Support during the process the Notepad also appears and display characters and the installation does not proceed until I close the Notepad.     
    I've searched for solution on several forums but found nothing.
     Any help to resolve this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

    Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
    Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
    I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
    1) Format windows 7 os
    2) Delete All partition and re-create
    3) Re-install windows 7
    Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

    Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
    I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
    I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.

    Hello
    I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
    So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
    Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
    Go to Task Manager>
    Click the Services Tab>
    Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
    Select Properties>
    Click the Security tab>
    Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
    Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
    Click Change Permissions>
    Then click Edit>
    CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
    This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
    This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
    Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
    Thank you"

    To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
    1. Run 'msconfig'
    2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
    3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is!  Untick ALL the items and reboot.  The help pane will not appear harrah!  Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot.  You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
    4.  Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
    5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
    6. Open 'regedit'
    7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder.  BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
    8.  You're welcome."
    Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
    You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.

  • The icons for the Personas Plus and Video Download Helper extensions are not displaying on a fresh install of Firefox 3.6.12

    I had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of my up-t0-date Firefox due to another problem (it would only open one window), but after reinstalling my extensions, their icons were not displaying.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but the Personas Plus fox will not display in the status bar, and the Video Download Helper icon will not display in the Navigation toolbar, and is not available in the Customize Toolbars menu.
    These extensions worked fine before. What's wrong now?

    You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ ,
    -search for and locate the add-on,
    -open the page for that add-on,
    -review the information there,
    -then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page.
    Most questions can be answered in one of those places.
    <u>'''ABP'''</u>: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.

  • Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 7 / IE 9 / RH10

    We recently upgraded our library from RH8 to RH10.  Also used a trial version of  RH9 in this process. Now when we compile several of the projects have issues where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (like it is trying to load).  If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).  Anyone else having this problem?? I saw something similiar for Windows8/IE10, but the fix does not apply here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5138909#5138909#5138909).

    Hi,
    I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.  
    Let’s start over. 
    We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
    We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
    Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
    "Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
              No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page. 
    Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
              Yes, without success.
    Are you using any redirects?    
              Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.” 
              I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
    Thanks  April
