rollcage Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Anyone using Vista RTM (especially people running it through bootcamp!), could you please try something simple for me? Press and hold Ctrl + Alt for a few seconds. Anything happen? Could you please let me know? Just wondering if it is me specifically, or if it does it for others too. Thanks for your help!

Numberzz Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 No, noting happens. BTW, in boot camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 ok, thanks. i did it last night and i got a BSOD. i was like , but i tried it again and it did the same thing. my comp. just restarted, and was fine after, but it's still weird. if i hit ctrl + alt + del it's fine, but just the two keys alone gets me a BSOD. just wondering if this was a widespread bug (or maybe MS just wants us to have easy access to BSODs?), but i guess not. well, if anyone else wishes to try it, it would be much appreciated. maybe it just has something to do with my playing around in the registry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metrogirl Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Doesn't cause BSOD or have any other effect on either of my running (native) RTM test boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br0adband Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Pressing Control + Alt while IE7 has focus (if that's your browser) will cause the menu bar to appear/disappear. That's the only thing I've noticed that happens at all when using that key combo under Vista. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 it must have been the registry tweaks that i had tried. they were ones that worked in xp to end programs faster upon shutdown/logout. i removed them and haven't been able to get the error since. sorta stupid of me to think that something like that from xp would work in vista i guess, but it was worth a try.

Auggie Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Running native right now on my HP, no effect... must be the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
