    Booting without press any key

    @dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


    Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?

  3. down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    Cannot Stop Certain Updates Repeatedly Showing

    On one of my Fujitsu machines I am getting certain non Windows updates repeatedly showing. I have tried to instal them and they say installed but reliability history shows failed. As they keep repeatedly appearing in Windows Updates I have temporarily stopped Windows Updates. Other "normal" windows updates were installed yesterday with no problem. Isn't there an option in device manager or somewhere similar that can stop Windows from updating Intel stuff as I thinkthe correct drivers are already installed. Thanks.
