I have the linux version, not sure if you have the windows version or if it really matters. If you are looking to "reformat", you can go with the other suggestions with the USB stick. However, if you are reformatting to get back to the default settings, power on the computer and immediately hold F9. This will bring you to a screen that gives you the option to "restore factory defaults". You will lose all your previous settings, but if you were reformatting anyway, that's probably not a big concern.

Press the number lock key once, if you press it again it will turn the numbers again. It is usually one of the keys above the Function keys (ie F1 to F12 keys).

My touchpad right and left click button stopped working

My touchpad right and left click buttons stopped working for a while and then started working again. I had to use an external mouse. It was as if the right and/or click buttons were permanently depressed: Moving the cursor with the touchpad drew square boxes on the desktop. I noticed that the problem fixed on it own right after I used the earphones which I hadn't done for a while. It started spontanoesuly perhaps after the earphones had been used- I am not sure.

is there a touch pad lock button, that locks the pad? if there isn't then there is most likely excess debris or dust or something under there that needs to be blown out with airisol can. If both of those solutions don't work then i would check to make sure the driver is installed for the touch pad. Good Luck. and i hope it works out.

This trojan runs as a rootkit, so you won't see it when it's running. It is a single file in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local (Vista), or C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\AppData (XP), It is marked as a system file, so you'll need to use the Folder Options in the control panel, to unhide hidden and system files and folders. As I said, with the rootkit loaded, you still won't see it there until you unload it. It runs by changing the registry so that any .exe run, will instead load the trojan. Attempts to run Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox will also instead run it. If you delete the file, or your antivirus finds it and deletes it, the changes to the registry will mean that from then on, whenever you try to run a program, you'll get a windows message asking you to select the file you want to use to open the .exe. (if this is the case, you'll need to use regedit in safe mode with command prompt, or rename regedit.exe to regedit.com).

To defeat the trojan, you must undo the registry changes, then reboot to reveal the file, then delete it. Here's how.

Run regedit. The trojan will load and give you all the fake warnings hassle. Do Ctrl-Alt_Del, and find the process 'av.exe'. End the process. Now in the registry editor, search for 'av.exe'. You should find a section HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe, where the (Default) REG_SZ has been set to 'secfile'. Edit this back to 'exefile'. Keep searching and you'll find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\secfile. Delete the whole secfile section. Keep searching - you'll find the odd line where it may be a recently 'searched for' item, where you can just delete the line, and you'll find it in a command line to run Internet Explorer. The full path to the trojan will be specified before the path to Internet Explorer. Edit this line to remove the path to the trojan, leaving just the path to Internet Explorer. A similar edit may be required for Mozilla Firefox. Find any other occurences of av.exe and deal with them in the same way.

Now, reboot the PC, and the trojan will not start up. Display system and hidden files, then go to the location of the trojan. Now you can see the little swine. Delete it, and empty the recycle bin.

Problem solved.

Enjoy!

Hi

Thank you for your query

This seems to be a common issue on Asus, from your description it would seem your touch pad has locked up

Please try the following combination of keys

fn+F5
fn+f8

If the above 2 fail there will be a key nest to the power button with a rectangle shape printed on top of it please pree this on its own or with the FN key

Aplogies for the different combinations, but there are different combinations with different manufaturers


If this has been useful please leave postive feedback/vote/testimonial - Thank You Again

para que pueda meter caracteres con la combinacion alt - (numero) tiene que utilizar el key pad numerico,

en un laptop para poder utilizar el keypad numerico (letras: u, i, o ; j, k, l; m, <, >) necesita utilizar la tecla "fn" y la tecla funcion que activa el key pad numerico (en mi caso es la tecla f11), en su caso puede ser diferente, mire los symbolos en las teclas de funcion, hay un simbolo que asemeja en teclado numerico diminuto.

por ejemplo para meter la letra "ñ" presione lo sigue

1. active el keypad numerico tecleando una vez y simultaneamente "fn" y f11 (o la tecla que active esta funcion en su teclado).
2. ahora si teclee alt y manteniendo presionado alt, teclee uno a uno las teclas j, o, u las cuales ya deben estar activas como numeros 1, 6, 4 respectivamente.
