| 200174 | 2003-12-13 09:39:00 | Either we're on very different machines here or lots of buttons have been deleted from mine or I am just extra dumb..... I have 98SE. I don't have anything called a Windows key (that I've seen so far..unless it's a coy wee thing that hides with no name) so irrespective of refreshes I'd like to know where that is also......? |

| 200175 | 2003-12-13 09:58:00 | You know what the Windows logo looks like? There's a key on your keyboard, usually next to the Ctrl key (lower left of the keyboard) that has an image of the Windows logo. That's the Windows Key | Greg S (201) | ||
| 200176 | 2003-12-13 10:37:00 | Mine is set at 60 with the other options being 75 and 85 so I should change it to 75???? Thanks bug :) |

| 200177 | 2003-12-13 10:47:00 | Thanks Greg for your help & patience. All has now been revealed. I have never been told about the keyboard symbols, so have been using it purely as a typing/word processer. (This is what comes from self-taught with no manuals) You've shown me that it's time I learned more about the extra functions certain keys have - and what some of the usual ones can do also.. The refresh test itself will be done tomorrow. |

| 200178 | 2003-12-13 10:50:00 | yes, 75 hz would be a lot nicer than 60. just a side note- w2k/xp systems with nvidia cards can get a bug with certain drivers where you set the refresh rate at efor example 85hz but it actually stays at 60hz. you can check by useing the monitors menu (those buttons on front on the monitor) to show the fequency. there are fix it programs advialable for those who suffer from this problem. |

| 200179 | 2003-12-13 11:33:00 | Keyboard shortcuts - now that's a whole new subject - maybe someone should create a FAQ for it. Anyway, when word-processing I cannot live without a few basic ones: Copy: Ctrl + C Paste: Ctrl + V Cut: Ctrl + X Go Back: Ctrl + Z Repeat last command: Ctrl + Y Many Chat programmes also have a nice Send command - instead of pressing Enter or clicking Send, go Alt + S |

| 200180 | 2003-12-13 19:33:00 | Thanks tweak'e, I changed it through the properties and then checked by using the monitor buttons on the front and this now says 75. Thanks for the Bug :) |
