4 bugs in Compaq Presario X1007EA
I've got a Compaq Presario X1007EA and after reinstalling Windows XP HE
everything works fine except 4 irritating bugs(?): 1/ When Windows starts, the Taskbar only shows wwhat it feels like showing. It happends (rarely!) that every program/service that starts with Windows shows an icon in the tray area, just as they should. But more often only a few of them appears. The rest is invisible (but the service/program is running). 2/ Not so often, but also after booting up, the keyboard is totaally dead. Everything works as it should, except for the keyboard. After a reset it works again. 3/ And sometimes, as now wwhen I aam typing this, the keystrokes generate ddouble letters. (And it makes me more crrazy then I already am!!!) 4/ When I get a dialog window as in Office when choosing Printer or Settings or something else that ggenerates a dialog window, it places itself UNDER the main window/program. I have to minimize it to get to it. Does anybody recognise the symptoms? What is wwrong? I have installed the latest patches and updates both from Compaq and Microsoft. Is it posssible that Service Pack 2 for XP can cure it? Roger, Sweden |

I believe that it started after one of the more recent security updates since each one has the "feature". Other problems: I am wondering if all of these problems are related to a failed keyboard or a loose keyboard cable connection. Even the windowing problem can be attributed to a rogue enter key signal which forces the background window to the top. Perhaps restore a new copy of the keyboard drivers might handle this also. Q |
