I just got a new keyboard and its great but there are two problems with it. theres only a Ctrl button on the left and not the right...

And theres a "Home" button to the right of the Backspace button which I always hit and others who have this setup do as well.

This home button makes the cursor go to the top left of the typing window so it messes you up when you hit it.


I was just wondering if I could program the Home button into a secondary Backspace key and change the Text select key at the bottom right of the keyboard into a Ctrl.

Can it be done?
if so, how?


Thanks

Sometimes my CPU gives off a "Beep" sound for no reason. What is wrong with it? Is it overheated? Or there's a virus?

Hi there,
I'm a student who has just bought a Fujitsu Lifebook S 7021. However, because it's a secondhand the seller said he didn't keep the driver CD after moving the house. I would like to ask:
1) With the serial number, can I ask Fujitsu for another CD driver?
2) If not, then what else do you recommend I can do to get it?
Thanks, and happy new year!

Our computer is nearly one year old and has produced blue screens (Bug-Code-Usb 0x00000FE) errors since we bought it. It has been back to OEM local shop four times. We are advised it must be some hardware we are using and he cannot find anything wrong with the computer (Asus XP Pro).
We only have the printer and Speedtouch modem attached and have updated everything we can.
It is now reaching its warranty date.
What would experienced computer owners do in this situation - these very silver surfers would be so grateful for advice.

I have a 40GB hdd as a slave drive which has all my music stored on. The computer only sees 31gb. I think this because of the age of the mother board? I have read that I could "flash the bios" which should resolve this. I'm not too keen on doing this as if it all goes wrong I haven't the knowledge to fix it. I have seen these pci cards that you can plug the hdd into that apparently fix this problem.

Getting to the point!!

If I install one of these cards will I have to reformat my hdd or should it just pick up where it left off and show the extra Gigs?

Problems about laptop Acer Aspire 3610?
when i turned on the laptop, it just stood at the Acer demo "forever", unusually slow. It did not do anything even I pressed F2 or F12, or Ctrl+ Alt+ Del. The only way to have it turn off is to take the battery out,so I did. Sometimes it turned on with only a line on the top left corner: "Operating System not found". Is it the sign of the hard drive's problem. How may I fix it.
