Arrow Keys Not Functioning Properly in the Hardware Profile Menu (161867)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0

This article was previously published under Q161867

SYMPTOMS

If more than one hardware profile is present on the system and the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key is pressed before the Hardware Profile menu is displayed on the screen, the arrow keys may not function properly, and will appear to be out of synchronization.

For example, pressing the DOWN ARROW key once does not change the selected profile; pressing the UP ARROW key once results in the selection moving down; pressing The DOWN ARROW key twice results in the selection moving down only one item, and so on.

RESOLUTION

Wait for the Hardware Profile screen to be displayed before selecting the option you want.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
