How to sepup keyboard instead of mouse

[aussiechic 209]

My infa red has died on my cordless mouse.. My back up mouse has a round plug and my new up to date computer has 8 usb ports no round one. I live in middle of no where so can't just get a new mouse or adapt plug. So in the intern I would like to use the arrows on my key board is this possible and how?

 

I am using my net book at the moment but like to access some files on my computer.

Open your control panel, and select "accessability options", and click the "mouse" tab. Click the checkbox that says "use mouse keys"

Now I am reminded why i hesitate to help people with computer issues.

 

Really? You can't figure that little bit out for yourself? Did you try? Did you do a single thing other than post a message here?

 

Which, I might note, you managed to do without a mouse.....

Lol, Sue.

 

Check out this page for complete information about keyboard combinations to run Windows.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126449

 

But for now, hit the WINDOWS LOGO key to bring up the menu or whatever that thing is called.

 

Use your up/down/right/left mouse keys to select CONTROL PANEL.

 

In CONTROL PANEL, navigate to "accessibility options" and do what alias said.

Ah, that's the alias we enjoy reading

 

And, aussiechic being a woman, it's probably all our fault too!

 

Sorry, Sue

Just in case, your "window" key is this one :)

Try this method but remember to close your eyes and say 'Open Sesame.'

So, to summarize.... your question was promtly answered. But.... that wasn't good enough. I'm hardly surprised.

 

I could have travelled to your home (at my own expense) and done it all for you and, upon discovering that my doing so had disabled the buzzing-bee cursor you downloaded from "SpyWarez R Us", you would promptly declare I had broken your computer.

 

I never learn.

You could enable file sharing on the broken PC and access your files from your Netbook.

Great, you try to explain that to her when "her mouse is fucked".

[Kev 173]

This is quite funny reading actually!!!

 

No insult intended Aussiechic.

As smart as you think you are even if I gave you my address you wouldn't be able to find it not on a gps or google earth

No thanks.

 

She can research it using her Netbook.

 

It's very easy to set up.

Thanks guys I had done a few things before posting on here as I had already networked my net book to my computer I was hoping to access this, a lot things require you to click apply or accept and just hitting enter on the keyboard just doesn't work

I think the TAB and SPACE keys might be helpful if you learn to use them.

Win7: Use Windows-key to open Start Menu.

Start menu: Use keyboard cursor keys to navigate to Control Panel (hit Enter key to select)

Control Panel: Use keyboard cursor keys (again) to select 'Personalization' (hit Enter)

Personalization page: Use TAB key to switch between the different areas of the page and get the focus in the lefthand navigation bar (i.e., watch carefully until something in that bar is selected)

" Use the keyboard cursor keys to select 'Ease of Access Center' (Enter)

EOA Center Use keyboard cursor & Enter keys to select appropriate options & settings

I find myself wondering what type of pure technical ignorance is required to type "not on a gps".

 

You really should just stop. Just...... stop.
