After the installation of Windows 8, some of the keys on the keyboard are

Original title: keyboard

My @ and "got traded as soon as I installed windows 8 on my computer dell laptop... What is the solution to get their right"

I think I've figured this out. The cause is that Windows think that your keyboard is British and not American English. If you go to the right tab and click on settings, then place the cursor on the icon of the keyboard, you will still be able to see UK (English).

What you need to do is to follow method 2 above. You will need to ensure that only the US keyboard (in English) is selected. In my case, the United States and the United Kingdom have been listed. Even if I had put U.S. primary, it was always not get picked up. Just so remove the United Kingdom one altogether and restart your computer. Now, it should work very well!

  • My Acer Aspire V - 123 Windows 8 keeps freezing and some keys on the keyboard are not working

    I'm currently using a netbook ACER ASPIRE V - 123 with Windows 8 as its operating system and it is not yet updated to 8.1.

    At first when my computer laptop while boots 'seems' to agree, and whenever I try to open a file without any content it took me about 30-45 seconds, opening a program would take me almost 45 seconds to a minute, and I think that something is not right with my laptop and when I try to open a website via my web browser and my laptop would just FREEZE and I can't do anything about it , but I hate to do HARD reset. And to add to this unfortunate scenario is that some of the keys on my keyboard are not working the letters like R, T, I, O and backspace and many others (which I don't remember exactly one by one).

    I try to read some forums on different sites and some posts to the community of MS and did several tests like starting in SAFE MODE w / NETWORKING and downloaded the software like MALWAREBYTES to find potential infections, but nothing found. I also did the start-up in MINIMAL MODE, but again, the situation was the same, but when I'm the boot without failure the filling and freezing are only decrease and I don't want always starts in mode safe.

    From now my laptop is booting in a start-up in MINIMAL MODE and I don't know what to do next, what to try next. I hope someone could lead me to the solution to this problem, I would be eternally GRATEFUL.

    Please do help me in a step by step process and if possible please guide me with pictures or screenshots because I prefer to learn things when I Visual effects on what to do.

    Thanks for patiently reading this post.

    Hi Ben,

    Sorry for the late reply, the laptop has been fixed, it seems to be a hardware problem. We disconnected the connection of the keyboard to the laptop right now I use an external keyboard to type. Cannot afford now to buy and replace my laptop keyboard, the graphics card Driver has been updated also and I've reformatted the OS

    The gel did not appear more in the normal boot and if all goes well for work this way for good.

    Thanks for the information you have shared to me, he has also been a great help.

    until next time Ben!

    Best regards

  • Typekit Async loading watch CARE on subsequent loads, even after the fonts are cached

    I got my delivery value async typekit and see visits don't CARE even though the fonts are cached in the browser on the next page. I expect this behavior during the first visit of the page before the police has been cached but do not expect it after its been put in cache. I have the style event policies to manage inactive States and loading of fonts but want to prevent OF happening on pages when the browser has cached fonts and already the js.

    Hi marleneb,

    The behavior you're seeing is expected when you load Typekit using asynchronous ("' async: true" in your embed code "). When you use the asynchronous loading, fonts are always loaded in the background. This can cause a flicker of relief policies, as you have seen, until the Typekit font data is loaded from the cache of the browser or server.

    If you want to share the URL of your website, we can take a look and see if there are any other event police recommendations we can do to help minimize this CARE.  (Feel free to email [email protected] if you do not want to share the site on the forum.)

    Or if you prefer to have the page wait Typekit fonts to be available, you can use the

    Enter the BIOS by typing/holding the F10 key immediately after switching on the laptop. Reset to the default settings by pressing the F9 key, (maybe F5-check wallpaper for the correct key) Save & Exit.
