While it’s true that my keyboard may have a few crumbs on it, and while it may be true that a good cleaning is overdue, you have mistaken me for the original poster, who you have also insulted with your condescension.
A plea for help is not an invitation to ridicule,
Sorry for posting to the wrong member.
However, some people need to be spanked for being so clueless about what certain problems might be, or what causes them. To many, the first response is to attack Windows, without even thinking that it might be other issues. Heck, even the famous BSOD, was mostly due to hardware issues and drivers from their respective vendors. But, no!, it had to be Windows related, because, that’s the thing that was sitting right in front of them, and the hardware and drivers weren’t immediately visible or accessible.
I recently had an issue with the sound on my computer not working, and my first thought was that, perhaps Windows 8 doesn’t support it. I was right, and it wasn’t an issue with Windows; it was a driver issue, where Windows 8 didn’t support it, and all I had to do was look for a new driver from the manufacturer. The manufacturer hadn’t updated the driver for Windows 8, and if they had, it would’ve have been part of the drivers archive in Windows, and I would never have encountered the problem. It wasn’t a Windows problem, but my first thought was that it was. Luckily, I knew enough to look up the sound care and found the driver on-line. Otherwise, I would have been in the same situation as the person with the keyboard issue, who first looked at blaming Windows 8 for the problem.
