To make sure that the feature is enabled on a computer that uses a USB keyboard, follow these steps: 1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters
3. Make sure that the following registry entry is enabled:
Name: CrashOnCtrlScroll
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
4. Exit Registry Editor.
So just doing this by itself would be no good or could cause problems?
I'm not questioning you at all (although I'm about to ask a question, so I suppose I am really!
) but if this started when the 2nd harddrive was put in, and I can temporarily stop the problem by disabling it, isn't the problem for Avast being caused by something I've done with the HDD? Please accept my apologies in advance if you're all now holding your heads in disbelief at the stupidity of this question!
