IKnowIndigo Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I read good things about CCleaner, so I tried it. I'm a programmer, and use MS Dev Studio 2003 (currently.) After the first cleaning session, I discovered that dev studio no longer saw my accelerator keys. Normally F5 runs, F10 steps, etc. These no longer work at all! I did a system restore to the day before cleaning, but still had the same problem. This tells me that it's not the registery that's the problem. I then repaired my install of Dev studio, but that didn't fix the problem. I'm now going to uninstall and reinstall dev studio, which (hopefully) will fix the problem. I have to say, I've lost almost a day and don't yet see the light at the end of the tunnel. I use 3 different versions of dev studio, and haven't checked the others - I fear the worst. Does anyone else have a similar experience? I read about 2 other problems with dev studio, although not this one. I'm using version 1.39.502 of CCleaner. thanks, Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowIndigo Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 As a follow up - I completely uninstalled then reinstalled dev studio and still have the problem. I'm at a loss. It feels like something got unhooked that isn't part of dev studio (since it persists after the uninstall/reinstall.) I just checked, and Dev Studio 2005 also has lost F5, F10, etc. The keyboard works fine, and other keyboard accelerators (alt D to select search box) work. Customize says the accelerator keys are there, but they don't work. Anyone anywhere? It's one thing to work without a mouse, but to work only with the mouse is painful.

IKnowIndigo Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 God bless you and all of your descendents! What an obscure key! For all I know I pressed that key myself (my keyboard does have one) and the timing coincided with the CCleaner trial. I read your link, learning for the first time what the F Lock key does, and just pressed it and all my problems disappeared. I lost at least 8 hours on this. I don?t know how you made the obscure connection, but you have saved my life. This reminds me of the stupid ?insert? key. I have thought about the hell a novice user would be in if by accident the insert key got pressed. He/she might never know that all that was needed was to press it again. Such dangerous side effects from something so seldom used. Thank you so much! Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
