roguim Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yes the type of keyboard change the key to open console, the tilde key is only for the north-american (US) keyboards, for example my brazilian keyboard uses the ' key that's open the console you can try it or the key above the tab key. ( iirc it's the rule) btw if tell your's laptop branch maybe people could help you better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 For some reason beyond my comprehension, Microsoft decided to disable the tilde key (~) when they have infrared turned on. On most desktop computers this is not a problem because they don't have IR capability. However, for laptops and media center desktops, as well as those desktops that do have an infrared receiver/transmitter it is a nuisance. On non-English keyboards the key in question is the one to the left of the 1 key on the top line. Whatever its symbol. On the media center PC, the simplest fix is to unplug the IR from the PC. The tilde immediately returns to use. On those with an IR that can not be simply unplugged, you will need to go into the control panel to disable IR. On an XP system: Vista will be similarStart>Settings>Control Panelclick on 'System' then the Hardware tab, then the 'Device Manager' Find the infrared portUnder the section labeled 'Device usage' select 'Do not use this Device (disable)'Click on the OK below it. A red x should appear over the IR port on the list of devices. Of course, this will make anything that relies on the IR no longer function until you change it back. Or, you can use this mod as a work around: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
