      <link>https://quomon.com/49558/xp-professional-system-boots-but-cannot-get-mouse-to-operate-in-P-S2-or-usb</link>
      <description>I have a six years old system manufactured by Tiny, AMD 3400+, 250 gig HDD and 1 gig RAM and is loaded with genuine XP Professional.I purchased both XP Professional and XP Home Edition Genuine discs which have been installed and validated umpteen times over the past six years.Recently the mouse has stopped working on both P/S2 and USB.The keyboard only works in USB and only when the system boots.This means that I cannot get into BIOS or any other set-up programme.Even when I load a disc, switch off (by unplugging as the mouse is inoperabile) and restart the disc is ignored until the system boots up. I can keep tapping keys until the cows come home but nothing happens until it has finished booting. I can only load discs after booting as the system is set to boot from the hard drive. Is there a solution to this as I can no longer afford to go to a computer repairer.I only use this as a secondary system as I intended selling it on. Any advice would be appreciated, not too technical as going into the internals of the system is beyond my limited knowledge.The only times I have opened the tower is to clean it with a pressure can to remove dust.</description>

      <description>The keys require a very slow and methodical "power typing" in order to get the letter or character to appear on the screen.  I cannot find any keyboard sensitivity settings at all!  Anyone know where the hell the adjustment setting is hidden?  Help!</description>

      <title>recurring mysterious selection issue</title>
      <link>https://quomon.com/46672/recurring-mysterious-selection-issue</link>
      <description>About three times over the past 4 years I have accidentally hit something on my keyboard that has altered the selection function on my mouse.  After I hit whatever it is that I hit, items become selected in a document that I havent yet drug the mouse across.  If I click the mouse in the middle of a word document, everything before that point becomes highlighted.  Also, I can no longer use the number keys..... instead if I type a number (without hitting the shift button) the symbol above it is what is displayed in the document.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;How do I get rid of thsi funcatin?
&lt;br&gt;What did I do to initiate it?
&lt;br&gt;What is this function called?</description>

      <link>https://quomon.com/44379/Reprogramming-my-Dell-Keyboard-Hot-Keys</link>
      <description>I have a three year old Dell XPS,  2.8Ghz PC that came with a dell multimedia keyboard.  When I first got my PC, I was able to reprogram a number of the function keys (aka hot keys) to other things to customize it for my needs.  For example, the calculator key now starts "Quicken."  I now realize that I can no longer remember how I did that.  There does not seem to be any programs on my PC for performing this customization.  I want to say there used to be program in the Control Panel for that, but not now. Dell help desk was no help.  I'm not a newbie.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;How do I change these function key settings?  
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Thanks.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Here's my keyboard: &lt;a href="http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/acc/P37555/intro.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://support.dell.com/support/edocs...&lt;/a&gt;
