I have a laptop with Win8.1, and I decided I should upgrade it to Win10. While it was updating, I plugged my phone coector for it to charge. Then I realized that all of my USB ports are not working after the Win10 upgrade. I decided to look up for certain fixes, yet I caot find one. Having no idea on what to do, I brought my laptop to a technician, and he says I should downgrade back to Win8.1 to see if it works. But it failed so he tells me to downgrade to Win7. Still, my USB ports are failing to recognize any of my USB media. So I asked my godfather, who apparently has an idea on how to fix it. So he says to restore it to the Windows version when my laptop was first bought. However, after ...

When I use the mouse scroll in a window which has a cursor (such as a text editor), the scroll controls the cursor position instead of the scrollbar on the right. Similarly, when I'm in a window which has some kind of list (ex. drop-down), the scroll controls the selection of that list. In order to scroll entire window I need to press and hold a control key (which I find aoying). In other operating systems (Windows, Mac OS) the scroll always controls the scroll bar of entire window. Can I configure Ubuntu to behave like that? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Because of the snapping in Windows (search for "multitasking" in settings), when you move a window from one monitor to another, you need to drag it fast, otherwise it will try to maximize the window (but only fill half the screen). Is there a way to disable this between monitors completely, but still keep the snapping part for the sides without another monitor? Example: MONITOR 1|MONITOR 2|MONITOR 3 Behavior I want: When I move the window between MONITOR 2 and MONITOR 1, it should move freely (like if snapping was disabled). But when I try to move the window from MONITOR 2 to the free space above, it should simply maximize the window (just as it does normally). Let's block ads! بخوانید...

When I did a full reinstall of Windows and Linux Mint, I changed all the settings of the mainboard to boot in UEFI and tued off all compatibility settings like xHCI hand-off and so on. I was at first very happy with these settings because the computer would boot faster and finally sleep would also work with Linux Mint on my system. I can use the keyboard or mouse to wake up the machine, but after that both are not working anymore, meaning I have to press the reset button and restart the computer. It behaves the same on Windows 10 and Linux. I suspect another weird thing might have something to do with my issue. From the first day I had my PC (in BIOS mode), if the PC was completely tued off,...

Installed Debian 8.4 on Fujitsu LH531. Everything works great in Gnome, Ciamon. When I installed Openbox, its desktop has no response to mouse/touchpad clicks. But it works in applications (i.e. iceweasel, Gnome terminal, etc.). I can move the cursor around but button clicks won't work. After some searching, I was able to configure rc.xml and use Alt+F1 to open the root-menu. The problem is button clicks still don't work at desktop. The problem happens also to Blackbox and Fluxbox. Any idea? Thanks. # Content of ~/.config/openbox/ autostart environment menu.xml rc.xml The following is part of my rc.xml file. Right button is defined to show the root-menu but nothing is shown when I right-clic...

So i found this old windows XP, and i plugged in the mouse got it started up, but the cursor on the screen wouldn't move. i tried many mouses and every port on the tower. One mouse glowed red, meaning its plugged it, but it still wouldn't move. The previous owner of the computer said that the mouse she used wasn't a USB. So, is it a PS/2 Interface? And just in case its helpful, i can't get passed the login screen as the mouse will not move at all. And on an unrelated topic, i cant coect my keyboard either. None of the ports are working for anything. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Is there a windows options to display when the mouse is clicked in Windows 10?Similar to the animation for locating the mouse via CTRL? I do screen recordings for software testing. I can set these options in a mobile environment (Android OS Phones, Tablets, Mobile Screen Capture Software, etc...), but I can't seem to find the same option when I am testing desktop/web applications. I currently use SnagIt 12 for screen capture, but even the show mouse cursor options do not display an animation when I click the mouse. I need to visually show if a feature/button is not working as it should when I click on it. Thank for the help Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Are there any solutions available that would enable sharing a mouse and keyboard coected to a Windows machine (specifically Windows 10) with a Mac ruing OS X Yosemite before the Mac has been logged in? I have been trying to get Synergy to work for a while now, but it seems that (if I can even get it to run prior to login) it gives me error messages evidently resulting from lack of access to the window system (This post suggests that it may be a sort of bug in synergy, and I remember the synergy website once outright stated that starting before login was not supported). Are there any other options that would not suffer from the same issue, or is OS X Yosemite simply too locked down to allow t...

I installed a Windows 10 OS on a virtual machine created using virt-manager on Ubuntu 16.04 desktop host. I installed the relevant guest drivers, including all virtio drivers and spice guest tools. Everything works OK, including the display driver and mouse integration, except for very sluggish mouse movement. When I move the mouse, it seems like an old movie with a very low FPS count. Is there any way to resolve this problem? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am using Fedora 23 with Gnome and the latest Citrix Receiver. I need to use Citrix to open Windows applications for work and I am having an issue where when I try to maximize or full screen any application, the Gnome top bar seems to get in the way which causes me to have an offset cursor. I need to click a full cursor-length below the object I want to click on for a click to register. My "solution" so far has been to run Remote Desktop Coection in 1440x900, but I'd rather take advantage of a full 1920x1080 work space. Does anyone know of a way to make Citrix applications override the Gnome top bar? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have 2 desktops, one monitor that has the ability to switch between HDMI ports from on-screen display, a keyboard, and a mouse. How can I use the keyboard and the mouse with both desktops seamlessly?...

I have a MS Laser Mouse 5000 and Comfort Curve Keyboard 3000. I recently upgraded to W10 and just downloaded Microsoft mouse and keyboard centre. Firstly, it detects I have a totally different keyboard than the one I have plugged in. Secondly, it only shows me the keyboard settings not the mouse ones, even when I launch it from the Control Panel "mouse" section. Is there a way I can do a clean reset of the mouse/keyboard I am using? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Sometimes while I'm working, I notice that tmux is no longer responding properly to mouse controls (usually as I try to scroll back a pane using the mouse wheel and get iTerm2's own scrolling behaviour instead). What could be causing this? I'm using Karabiner to map Ctrl taps to Esc, so I suspect I'm "accidentally" tapping Ctrl (thereby emitting Esc) and then pressing some key or other that deactivates mouse mode. I can restore mouse functionality by detaching and reattaching. Any ideas? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

On my PC I am able to play a couple of games at 60fps, and my monitor refresh rate is 60fps. However, when I move my mouse around on the desktop and drag Windows from one place to another it's kind of choppy; it looks like it's moving at 30fps to me. I notice on certain YouTube videos some people's mice move incredibly smooth. How do I accomplish this, is it a setting in Windows? (My mouse is completely usable, its just strange how it doesn't look very smooth). I do not have mouse precision on. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Help, I have a Logitech M185 wireless keyboard and mouse. It wont work when I switch users. I have to restart my computer EVERY TIME. How can I fix this?...

Every time I try to save a document in Windows 8.1 pro, when I open the folder to which I'd like to save the document, the "save as" takes on the name of the first document that the mouse hovers over. I really don't know how else to put it. I need to click on the folders really quickly and move my mouse away so that I can save things with the title I want. Any suggestions would be truly appreciated, as this is quite aoying, as well as wasting time when I need to go back and reconfirm what I want to call the document! I've searched, but can't seem to find anyone else with this issue. Thanks very much for your help. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I recently updated to Windows 10 on my HP 2000 Notebook, and have noticed a couple things that started happening.. There's a six second delay. Say I need to type something right now, in order to use my mouse pad again. A random, what looks like terminal, keeps popping up and disappearing before I can see what it says. It almost looks like I'm being logged, but I've searched through all my program files, and done a netstat on everything and can't seem to find anything suspicious. Now I've done some research on this and discovered I'm not the only one who has had the problem with the mouse pad. I've gone to the websites, but unfortunately everything they've told me to do hasn't worked. Does an...
