A key will work not (tilde), but only in one of my Windows 7 profiles

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601).  My history of update said that everything has been installed.

The tilde / single quote left-button (just below ESC on my keyboard) does not work in my regular profile - won't work in any program at all.

But it works in the other profiles that I put in place.

I tried three keyboards; It is not the keyboard.  I tried both wireless and USB.

I tried to remove the device drivers by using Device Manager, and then restart.  Did not help.

Any help?

Dear Niranjan Manjhi,

1. I tried to use the instructions in the link you provided 'fix a corrupted user profile' which specifically stated that the profile contains settings "funds of screen, screen savers, pointer preferences, sound settings and other features" would be transferred to my new profile if I followed the instructions.  However, none of my desktop settings imported into the new profile, such as the wallpaper, the items on my desk and the changes in my menu start.  So, I tried a different approach (described below) first and foremost try to rebuild my profile.

2. at the end of the day, I found the problem, it's * not * a corrupt user profile. The problem was a setting in the control panel / region and languages / keyboards and languages.  (I went to this setting as a general search on the internet revealed that the community of players has had some problems with the tilde/grave key.)

Under the button 'Change keyboard', I did the following.

one) by the suggestion players, under 'Général' community, removed keyboard "Us - International", leaving only "keyboard = US" and "Other = Correction of ink" (this last I learned is for my tablet of entry).  This change has not fixed my problem himself, even after a reboot.  But I left it like that. Then next...

(b) under 'Advanced settings key' to 'To the English', I used "Change Key Sequence," uncheck "Enable Key Sequence, which had been fixed for 'Ctrl-Shift' + 'Serious'.  However, neither this change has fixed my problem himself, even after a reboot.  Then I tried then...

(c) under 'Advanced settings key' for "Between the input languages", I used 'Change key Sequence' to change the "switch Keyboard Layout" of "Accent Grave (') to"All Unassigned".»  [I left ' switch an input language "to"Left Alt + shift."]  THIS CHANGE CORRECTS MY PROBLEM.

I would like to mention that the manufacturer of keyboard for my Unified Wireless keyboard and mouse was kind kindness to send me a whole new set, in the hope that it could solve my problem, even if it was not a hardware problem.

  • I had a HP with XP Media Edition on this, got angry and destroyed someday drive hard, but always have the key, the key will work on another form of XP?

    As I said, I always have the key for it. But does not know if the key will work on just a normal copy of Windows XP? Also cannot find a download of XP? Guess that's what happens when you wait 17 years to ask about it.

    If your computer was HP and it came with this version of Windows installed, then you probably have an OEM of Windows version.  An OEM key does not work for a retail install the version of Windows.  To reinstall Windows without owning a set of install CD/DVD from HP, you will need to contact HP for help as they regulate the licenses Windows installed on their products.

  • What happens to my key if my hard drive is formatted, the key will work after that my hard drive is formatted?

    I want to know that my synchronized computer key will work if I format my drive hard because when the hard drive is formatted, then the key code is deleted, even though I saved my key will it work after formatting hard drive. Let me know.

                  let me also know that what will happen if I lose the key I had saved then how will I access my synchronized computer .
    

    Hello!

    Can you indicate the information where it says that the information is stored in our servers? If that mentioned anywhere we need to clarify.

    The only reference I found is here: How can I set up Sync on my computer? and it is specifically stated that the information is synchronized on devices through our servers. If it is misleading, let me know so that we can reword it.

    Regarding the storage of the key in your pen drive or any other backup system: this is the best solution and it will work correctly after you format your computer. The key does not change when you format your computer, so you will have no problems after all.

  • OEM license key will work with sales facility in retail Windows

    Originally titled: My driver's license - which is preinstalled - will work on a new installation.

    It is a long story.  I have a Sony VPCEB1S0E.  I got a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit preloaded on it.

    Backstory:

    My laptop crashed about 1 year ago.  If a friend of my uncle has reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Lately, I realized that it is a Windows patched copy.  It does not say it is authentic, but I think that it is loaded with a magazine or something.  I used the command slui.exe 3 and entered my old key for my Home Premium edition.  He said that the key that I entered belonged to another edition of Windows.

    Present:

    So I tried to download an iso. using the new recovery software Page.  However, when I entered my old product key, it displays an error saying:

    Unsupported product

    The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled on a device.  Contact the manufacturer of the device for soft recovery options.

    I managed to download an iso of Home Premium. file from a trusted source.

    Main question:

    If I reinstall a new copy of Windows Home Premium, my existing license key will work during installation?

    Yes, the product key will work because it's the right 'Home Premium' edition.

    HI André,.

    A single License can only be installed on uptill 2 computers only and yes you can use one at a time . This part of EULA (end user license agreement ) is only applicable for prepetual licenses .

    For Creative Cloud subscription , you are able to install the products on two computers and you can use both of them at the same time as well.

  • My 20 Firefox seems not extinguished, but only restarts. Also, rather than to my home page, the last visited pages appear.

    It's like Firefox 20.0 never stops but only restarts.

    Even when I close Firefox 20.0 by clicking the X button in the top right or use "exit" when I open Firefox, it is as if I had used 'restart', namely the tabs don't load until I click on them. In addition, 4 pages that I use as my pages are not there, but rather some pages I got to the top when I finally closed my browser.

    I tried to create a new profile, that worked ONCE. Then he returned to my problem.
    I used 'restore' to return to a time before the problem started, but that did not work.
    I removed the addon I had downloaded in that time, but which did not help either.

    Thanks for any help you can give. I know you're all volunteers and that your time is valuable.

    Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Bookmarks toolbar & bookmarks button drop will work not together how we can solve this problem?

    It seems that if you have toolbar bookmarks running the button drop down bookmarks will work or not present with the other buttons even if its there when you customize, but if you turn off your Favorites bar then the bookmarks drop-down button appears, how that we have the bookmarks toolbar and button drop-down bookmarks menu appear at the same time?
    I have all my favorite sites on the bookmarks toolbar, but would like to have access to the rest of my favorites through the menu key drop-down for the moment I have to use the upper button left to go to my favorite firefox.

    You should see the button Menu bookmarks at the far right of the bookmarks toolbar if the toolbar is visible. You can drag the bookmarks menu button with the marker of fall to the left of the Bookmarks Toolbar items in the bookmarks toolbar if you prefer to see this button on the left side. This BMB button should be on the bookmarks toolbar if the toolbar is visible. Otherwise it will be hidden.

    In this example, photo_main will not work, but picture_1 will work. Any thoughts?

    Initially, I had the onclick event in an anchor tag. push the browser to the top of the page. still disrupts the flow of the page. I didn't want the page jumps all the time, so I removed the .  I didn't know I could use a tag without the href part - now that I know, I removed the onclick of the image tag.

    I didn't do it the way you did or the other.  The upper part of the page thing is easily fixed in one of two ways:

    1. the use

    2. use a false return on the link, for example,

    Either people would be much more suitable for this use, in my opinion.

    I found the solution to my problem, I do not know why - if I remove all the comments I got me - it works fine.

    Good point.  The reason why remove your comments worked, is that all your comments are poorly trained.  You can't do an HTML comment like this-

    It must instead be like this-
