Hey guys, just posting this for those peeps with hp laptops, I think mostly pavillions, every once in a while the stops working

quick fix for those people doing a search to find a solution;

hit control+alt, that usually brings the keyboard back online, but sometimes it won't.

In those cases you be ready with a keyboard shortcut on your desktop, once you open the desktop keyboard you can close it down, your hardware keyboard should work

the target for the shortcut is below, just right click on the desktop and it will walk you through the shortcut process, cut the following and paste it into the target for your shortcut;


%windir%\System32\osk.exe

Once you have the shortcut put it into your quick launch so you can get it going with the mouse.

If the hardware keyboard still doesn't work, you can complete your work with the screen keyboard before you restart

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
