ASUS EZVCR takes over ctrl+t

After installing an ASUS TV tuner and the accompanying EZVCR software my ctrl+t key combination has been taken over and runs the EZVCR software. Whoever thought that ctrl+t was a good keyboard shortcut obviously never tries to open a new tab in Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Warning: “Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. We cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use these steps at your own risk.”

To fix this you will need to go into the following:
1. Click Start -> Run & type in “regedit”
2. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
3. Delete the value from the right hand pane: EzAgent
4. Close Regedit and restart your computer

    YEAH, this worked with my computer, too! Now I can use again the function of CTRL+F, CTRL+T, etc.

    I have Windows XP. The only difference to this instruction was that my key was located under “…../Run”, so I had to locate it with the search-function (which did not work yet with CTRL+f ^^)

    THANK YOU!
