PC still loosed focus

The old timer:
I haven't had a chance yet as we are looking after 2 grand kids this week.  I have noticed however that the keyboard is no longer allowing me to select a range of items to ,cut,paste, move etc. 

I'm also always hesitant to try programs that I have never heard of before unless I can get assurance that they aren't harmful as there are so many programs just full of PUP's etc.

I has also reluctant to even try this Tweaking program until it had been recommended by a few people that I know.

Boggin:
The sfc /scannow takes about 20 mins to run and will leave its report on screen, so once you have entered the command, you don't need to be in attendance - but grandkids can be demanding  :smiley:

I'm not sure if the keyboard problem is related to the program problem.

Have you tried the rear USB port for the keyboard as that one has more power than the others.

You could try downloading the chipset or video drivers depending upon your CPU should it be the BUS Controller drivers acting up, but it could also be the PSU.

Download HWMonitor (quite safe) to check that your computer isn't overheating. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

This program will also display the voltages.

You could also go into Devices and Printers, right click on the keyboard and select Troubleshoot to see it that pops up anything.

My Tweaking.com - Windows Repair doesnt target the keyboard and mouse, so not sure you need to run it just yet. I am more curious why the other keyboard and mouse didnt want to work.

Try it again, but this time open up the device manager first, then plug in the other keyboard and mouse and see if the device manager shows any problems for them.

I hadn't read the previous posting closely enough & hadn't noticed that sfc /scannow was to be run from a command prompt.  This suggests that this is part of Windows itself & not a 3rd party program.

I have run many programs as administrator even though I'm the only person who touches this machine. How do you run as an administrator from a CMR prompt?  Can I turn of the prompt for administrator completely?

Thanks in advance

The old timer:
I found the answer myself & have now run this program.  It took only about 7-8 minutes but reports no problems..
