New Directory dialog won't go away

Post by *aaloneft »

Installed Quicken2004 on my PC and since then TC6.02 pops the New directory dialog after a few seconds of inactivity. If I pres Esc or close the window it goes away but keep poping up after a few seconds again. I checked whether the F7 key is stuck but it's not. I deinstalled TC and reinstalled but it doesn't help.

Any clues?
Thanks

I don't have Quicken installed.
Check Quicken settings, maybe it has macro capatibilities and sends keystroke F7 in background while running, for whatever reason?

Anyway, this is not a TC problem. TC can't intercept keystrokes being sent thru Windows or other apps.

Try to assign F7 in configuration - misc to some other command, e.g. to cm_rereadsource , maybe it stops then.

Thanks for your replies. For what it's worth, my son had changed the mouse and keyboard connections on my Micronet switch on which I connect my PC's with one keyboard, mouse and screen. Strange that the keyboard and mouse were working as well as they did and only the F7 was a problem.

Thanks again.
