Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard combinations such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V do not work at all. I’ve searched through Microsoft support sites, numerous google searches and still nothing, and I find it really frustrating not being able to use those shortcuts at all
I own a small acer laptop with Windows 7 Starter installed on it, and that’s as far as I think can help

Is the control button working at all?

Can you use non-universal short cuts? Like the ones that are program specif? I.E. close a tab with mouse wheel button

Windows 7 Starter may be the problem.

windows starter can only open 3 apps at a time anyway, ditch that shit and :pirate: ultimate

This

Is Win7 Ultimate genuinly better than the other versions? Well, besides Starter, obviously…
I mean, is there something else besides a couple of features I have barely ever heard of and would never ever need?

What’s Windows starter?

it’s the version intended for developing markets.

and no, for most people there’s no reason to go for ultimate rather than home premium.

windows 7 starter suits me well. On the other hand, if it didn’t suit me well, I can’t install anything else because the laptop doesn’t have a disc drive. I’d have to buy an external one and I’m not very fond of spending my money

well, during this wonderful time responding to everyone my laptop was kind enough to freeze, resulting in me breaking my fingers while tapping the ctrl+alt+delete just to notice that before that, I’ve wrote a huge series of letters that most likely originates from my keyboard mash when I noticed that the laptop freezed, and magically, Select all works.

:fffuuu:

I guess starting the task manager is the ultimate fix for every problem on windows

Tip: on windows 7/Vista, tap ctrl+shift+esc to go straight to the task manager.

fun fact: you can install/boot any operating system through USB, just follow a proper guide on google and choose the right boot device in the BIOS

I’ve installed Windows XP, Win 7, Linux and even Mac OS X with only a flash drive.

and to open task manager, ctrl+shift+esc or win+r and type taskmgr
