Lol. I can think of many wild goose chases I could have solved just by turning the PC off for a few minutes, rather than doing restarts. Some things just seem to stay locked in memory and keep giving you the same problem. I guess the "Have you tried turning it off and on" advice really does...

OK. I think I found the culprit. I reinstalled the OS and started installing my programs one by one until the issue appears. After installing the software for my Leadtek DTV Card (WinFast PVR2), the issue appeared. When I press "zero", I don't get a "0", and a window pops up (as pictured)...

Try this... 1. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator. (Type cmd in Windows 8 Metro UI (Start) and press ctrl+shift+enter) 2. Type the following and press Enter reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 3.Reboot

OK. Let's go all ninja on this B****. Go to this website and download "TYPES". Types Then... Location of your program should hopefully be... C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14 Look for "OIS.EXE".

Good lord. So is "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" the program you prefer to use or something else?

I should ask: 1) How long has this been happening. 2) When was the last time it was working the way you wanted.

I'm not sure if this is any help, but check this out: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/29311-start-screen-allow-prevent-users-customizing.html Otherwise, it seems the control you seek is available in Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Check this link... A New Windows 8.1 Enterprise feature: Start...

I don't think so, no. The thumbnails are a single frame of the video, therefore they always of the same ratio as the video file. This way you can see the aspect ratio of the video file, without having to right-click and check the details of each file. It's "what you see is what you get".

A bit of a Google brought me to this: Why Does 64-Bit Windows Need a Separate ?Program Files (x86)? Folder? Basically....consequences are unlikely. :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "I tried it standard" but normally you would reset Windows to factory settings. then then then

I would recommend using the "sfc /scannow" command to see if it finds any corrupt files. See this link: How To Use SFC Scannow to Repair Windows System Files

I'm hoping there is someone out there that can help me with this annoying problem. I'm on a desktop PC running Windows 8.1. Whenever I press the "zero" key on my keyboard, I don't get a "0", and the window focus changes to the desktop. The keypad numbers work fine. 00000000 <--- I had to...
