Break/Pause[2]
« on: August 09, 2011, 11:51 PM »
Tonight I did my winXP x64 updates and had to reboot.  After the reboot, I hit Break and it didn't bring up FARR.  I looked at the hotkey options and it said "Break/Pause[2]" under the hotkey.  I can use Xtrl-Space to start FARR, but I'm wondering what happened to "Break". 

I'm guessing the "[2]" means some other program is assigned to the break key now?  Anyone know how I should troubleshoot this?

Sorry, false alarm and coincidence!

My keyboard was going bad and I didn't know it until this morning, when I typed a "r" and got a "rt".  And it kept getting worse, so I went out and purchased a cheap replacement and Break/Pause works just fine.  Just my bad luck the Pause/Break key was the first (that I noticed) to go.  Maybe that's why it's called "Break!"  ;D
