Windows 10: what just happened

i was playing a nintendo ds game on my laptop using desmume which is a nintendo ds emulator. i had configured the l key to load state and the s key to save state. i loaded the game into the emulator and i pressed alt enter to do full screen and then i pressed l to do load state. that means the l key and alt key worked

after that i pressed s a few minutes later to do save state state but it didnt do save state and it opened cheat search. after that i pressed alt enter again to exit from full screen mode. it didnt work. also pressing alt f4 to exit the emulator didnt work. pressing alt tab worked but it showed the tabs instead of switching tabs (pressing ctrl alt tab shows all the open tabs and i was able to do that by pressing alt tab). i closed the emulator by right clicking on it in the taskbar and clicking close

after that i saw that my open programs didnt recognize the alt key. like for example i had paint open and pressing alt in paint did nothing and it didnt open the main menu in paint. the same thing happened in an open document and pressing alt in the document did nothing

also pressing the windows key didnt open the start menu. i had to open the start menu by left clicking on the windows icon in the lower left. i shutdown the computer and i turned it on and then things went back to normal and the windows and alt key worked again

also a couple of months ago when i was playing a windows game using my bluetooth keyboard i was pressing the arrow keys and then the game suddenly switched to windowed mode and pressing enter switched between full screen and windowed mode and the keypress wasnt recognized in the game. i closed the game and i also saw weird things like i saw now and pressing the windows key didnt open the start menu and things went back to normal after i did shutdown and turned on my laptop and the windows key worked again

what happened? did the game mess up windows or windows messed up the game? a game should not be able to stop the windows key and the alt key from working in windows so that means that windows glitched when i was playing the game. what do you think?

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
