    shortcut problem

    Hi, I have Win XP and use visual studio .net. Sometimes I use Borland Turbo C 2.01. When I run Tc Ctrl+F1 was uset to open help window. I've installed InterVideo WinDVD and now when I press Ctrl+F1 InterVideo WinDVD opens. So in TC I cannot use Ctlr+F1 to see help explanation about different functions. I check shortcut on the desktop and in Start Menu and in properties under shortcut is None. How can I fix this? Wher can I change shortcut? Thanks!

    The ONLY way that pressing ctrl+F1 can open an application is if A: you have stupid multimedia functions on your keyboard, or B: WinDVD is running in the background waiting for ctrl+F1. If the case is A, then use the software that came with your computer to edit what the ctrl+F1 combination does (set it to nothing). If it's B, then either through winDVD's options, or through msconfig, disable it from loading when windows loads. (msconfig: start, run, msconfig, startup tab).
