I want to automate changing the repeat interval of keys. Presently I am doing it on login every time. But it goes back to default and hence I have to set it on next time log in. Which is the registry in the system which holds the value of repeat rate? Can I change the registry key using some kind of C program? Do I need to also use batch file to run automatically on startup and change the keys repeat rate? Are there any other precautions I have to take while manually editing the registry? Can I edit...

I am facing an interesting issue with my CPU at office. Whenever I remove the plugs from the socket and try to turn on the CPU, the CPU doesn't turn on. Then I called the service team. They came after a day and when they came and pressed the power button it simply powered on! I had to think whether I was really experiencing problem or not. This problem happened recently again when I had removed the plugs to move the table. The same sequence repeated. No matter how many times I press the button CPU didn't turn on...

have one DDR3 1333 MHz RAM and would like to upgrade the size RAM with another memory with 800 MHZ one. The processor is Intel i5 and is 2008 Make. Is there any problem in using the RAM of same size but different clock speed? Will the processor adapt for two different speeds and accept the RAM? Will there be any hardware problem arising because of different speed RAM? Are there settings in BIOS to indicate the size and other properties of RAM such as clock sped, type, Maximum supported frequency etc

I dropped a Nokia Lumia mobile down on to the hard floor when it was on. It fell down, but didn't switch off and was functioning normally as intended. But after that incident, I have observed peculiar issue with the touch screen. If I touch somewhere it senses the touch somewhere else! I could believe that this is because I dropped the phone but this touch issue doesn't happen all the time, also, if I lock and unlock the screen the issue disappears. So, my question is does this look like a hardware issue still or I can go...

In both, for some vehicles I am getting the stickers or labels the drivers stick to the car. Is there any algorithm other than the mentioned which is used widely? One typical problem again here is license plates have no discipline in fonts. The...

I had a computer DVD writer kept aside because it was spare and was unused. Now, I am thinking of using it too along with the existing DVD writer which is presently installed in the desktop. Have anybody tried this way? Can a DVD writer be placed outside on the table with the computer cables coming out if the CPU. I may sound strange but this kind of installation will help me saving space on my table as I can hide CPU somewhere below the table and stop using the installed DVD writer. Any...

Recently when speaking with the computer repair person, he told me to change the mother board if I have to protect SMPS.
