insertion point window
by Guest mister313- 1 reply
- 160 views
Whenever an insertion point window appears (the place where the tab is flashing to enter information) I find that my mouse pointer must be held within that window and not on some other part of the screen in order for the input to begin. I'm pretty sure that the default allowed entry of characters into that window no matter where the mouse pointer was on the screen.I changed the default for this at some time in the past but I don't remember how I did it. Can anyone advise?

I am having a problem with my desktop. When I tried to uninstall pcAnywhere it renamed a .dll and I can not log into the computer. I have to go in through safe mode, which is no big deal normally. I can bring up the screen in safe mode where I need to press ctrl-alt-delete, but the keyboard quits working. I have tried using both a PS/2 keyboard and USB keyboard. I understand the computer needs to recognize the driver for the keyboard, but I have never had this problem before, and it recognizes the USB mouse just fine. I can not find any answers online, and there is nothing on the MS website. If anyone knows anything that could help me out I would appreciate i…
