| Vista Home Premium | Vista and short cut keys I am not sure whether this is the correct forum for this query. I have a HP Pavilion TX1340 laptop running Vista Home Premium and in general it is working OK. However just recently I have found that short cuts such as ctrl/C and ctrl/V no longer work and just result in the letters "c" and "v" appearing in the text. Is this a Vista problem or a laptop problem and what is the solution? |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Vista and short cut keys It's most definitely not a *vista* problem - I use both copy and paste KB shortcuts hourly, heck, usually once every 3-5 minutes because I keep posting things like URLs here in posts.... I'd read your documentation on your laptop - you may have inadvertently enabled a Function key that is overriding the CTRL key.... |

| Vista Home Premium | Re: Vista and short cut keys Thanks JohnGalt I obviously did not make myself clear. I appreciate that it is not a fundamental fault with Vista as I have used these many times previously my own two Vista laptops and can still do so on my other Vista laptop. The question I should have asked is: Have I disabled these keys by some means unknown to me in Vista or is it something I have done with the laptop? |
