Win 7 Pro X 64 SP1 Cant start On Screen Keyboard
Magdalene:
Hi Boggin,
Tried invoking from Cmd (elevated) and no error code,just same pop up 'Could not start on screen keyboard'
Event viewer shows nothing with 'ERROR'
That is to say No Critical, No Error and no Warnings in 'Overview and Summary'
Yes, you will see my post/s on Seven Forums and Sysnative as well, as this problem although minor in the scheme of things, seems to be
very difficult to pin down. Just grateful to all you guys on these forums for your time and trouble to help.
Magdalene.
Boggin:
Did the machine come with Win 7 Pro ?
One other place to check for more info is reliability history.
Go Start - start to type reliability and press enter when View reliability history comes up where there may be a red cross on the days where it has failed to open.
Magdalene:
Hi Boggin,
Machine is Lenovo Thinkpad E530c and came with Windows 7 X64 installed ie: OEM no installation disc.
I don't often have a use for OSK therefore its difficult to say when it stopped working, but roughly about a month ago. I keep a 'Changelog' detailing any changes I make so as to help in cases like this and cant see, or think of any changes made that might be relevant to this problem.

Magdalene:
Sorry, forgot to mention no events at all in Reliability going back as far as possible.
Boggin:
If it was that long ago then it is unlikely you will have restore points that go back that far.
I was thinking along the lines of a repair install which won't affect your personal stuff or installed programs, but you will need a product key tp activate it.
Is your COA sticker key still legible on the underside of the machine ?
If it is then go Start - type Slui 3 and press enter then enter that key which should return as activated.
You could then enter that key when prompted during the repair install.
I can supply you with a couple of Win 7 x64 Pro SP1 install disks if you want to try that - just PM me your address.
Okay on reliability - it was just a thought.
