Windows login screen buttons not working (sort of!?!?)

Okay,
It seems I'm plagued with the weird and strange issues, so the gist is...
Have a Dell Latitude E6330 with Windows 7 Ult. When I boot up and get to where you login, when I click on ANY of the on desktop 'buttons' (i.e. the 'login' arrow after putting in creds, Switch User, red Shut Down or up arrow for other options, etc.),
the button shows as being 'clicked' (the button press/depress reaction shows), but NOTHING happens.
I've uninstalled/re-installed drivers - plugged in an actual mouse - nothing works.
The ONLY workaround that seems to give it a 'kick' is to put in your creds in and click 'Enter', then log out and the buttons work, BUT if you're a different user, where you would usually just click on Switch User, you have to leave the current user password
blank and just click Enter, so the 'The user name or password is incorrect' error comes up - THEN when you can click on the buttons, they 'work' now?????
So other than re-installing the OS (which we DON'T REALLY want to do, has anyone EVER seen this before???
Thanks for any ideas
Cheers

I've never seen it before. Once you finally log in, I'd open cmd as administrator and run a sfc /scannow to see if any errors come up.
When did this issue start? Does it coincide with any updates or program installations?

Maverick update now my login screen does not work please help.

Hello hope you can help. I have a 24 inch Mid 2007 Intel iMac. It has been great until now. I recently did the Maverick update and now my login screen does not work. When I wake the computer up the screen appars with my picture icon. When I click on it nothing happens. If I click on it a second or third time the beach ball appears and nothing happens. I have to shut the unit down with the power button and when the unit powers back up everything works normally. Are there any suggestions out there? I have updated the software without resolution. Is this computer too old? Do I have to buy a new one?
Thank you

Your iMac can support Mavericks according to the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
Try a Safe Mode boot. That deletes some system caches that may help.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
See if there's an improvement for the login screen.

Windows 7 screen saver not working with TV@nywhere Pro FM Radio

Hi
I've installed TV@nywhere Pro apps from CD (think they're actually for Vista) on Windows 7. Driver is the latest Win'7 I found on the MSI site and I installed that separately. When only listening to the FM Radio, a screen saver will not activate. I can understand no screen saver when watching TV, but when only listening to FM radio, the screen saver should work. Can anything be done about this? A final comment, I miss a separate FM Radio application - I don't want to go through the whole HyperMedia menu system just to listen to the radio...
Thanx!

I don't know if this program will even work in Vista or Windows 7, or even with your card, but might be worth a try, a nice little FM Radio tuner program, originally bundled with the now obsolete TV@nywhere Master:

WSX Login Cred. Not Working In Win. 7

Hello,
I have workstation 10 on a windows 7 machine which runs serveral VM's very well. I moved one of them over to the shared VM section and installed WSX server on the same machine to try it out. The install went fine and i can connect to the WSX server on the same machine and any other machine on the network but the windows login credentials do not work. I have two admin accounts and neither of the logins work.....however, when i make a brand new admin account and try to login into WSX it works fine. As soon as the machine restarts though that same login stops working. I have no idea what is going on, you guys have any ideas?
Thanks,
Brandon

I have the same issue. I attempted the resolution by BlazerGT with no success. I have found the issue to be persistent with both domain and local accounts. For local accounts simply deleting the account and re-adding it was a workable solution but I have not found one with the domain accounts. If there is a log for failed authentication I would love for a developer to let me know where this is as it would be greatly helpful to be able to diagnose.

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

Screen brightness not working after updating windows 10

My Lenovo g50-70 laptop screen brightness button not working and I also not able to adjust brightness of my laptop.it is fixed at maximum level after updating windows 10. Find a solution for this problem.

I have the same problem with my HP Pavilion 17-e073ed notebook. As far as I can tell everything seems to be working again BUT the brightness function keys.
I tried downloading a few of the quick key drivers but they're still not working.

Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

Music buttons not working in lock screen on my iPhone 4 after iOS7 update.

After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, the music buttons like PLAY, REWIND and FORWARD are not working in the locked screen as well as on swipe up menu. Any resolution please?

hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help.

Depends on the damage. The battery came loose in my iPhone. When Apple opened the phone to redo the glue they discovered the speakers were also loose. Apple replaced the phone.
If the glue was properly bonded or had some other flaw Apple will replace the device if the device is still under warranty.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

Hi,
When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it won't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.
Regarding screen resolution, we may follow the below two articles to change it:
Change your screen resolution
Getting the best display on your monitor
Follow the steps below:
1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking
Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
2.Click the drop-down list next to Resolution. Check for the resolution marked (recommended). This is your LCD monitor's native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
And if the monitor is LCD monitor, The monitor's manufacturer or reseller should also be able to tell you the native resolution for your LCD monitor. Or we may check the monitor's manual to adjust.
