Dell XPS 13 type special characters with keyboard

I'm unable to type special characters with my Dell XPS 13 with Windows 8 pre-loaded. For example when you type ' ^ ' followed by 'e', you should get 'e '.

My previous 13 XPS with Windows 7 preinstalled worked well. I loaded all the latest drivers, but the functionality is still missing. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on? Or are still missing drivers for Windows 8?

Help will be appreciated

  • Problems with special characters with Apex5

    Hello together,

    I hope, I'm right on this forum with this problem, I have found no other best match.

    I have a single database called apex12D on 12.1.0.2 it's my database of the 5 Apex develompent. Apex 5.0.2 is installed, also the German language of Apex. The OS is Oracle Linux 6.

    On a second machine that I have configured the Oracle Data Service remains with tomcat (installed from the repositories) and apache (also installed deposits), running on the Oracle Linux 7 operating system. This machine is my "http server" to connect to my Apex environment. Everything is very well workung, but when I go on my Apex Admin Backend all special characters in German (A, U, O,...) are displayed incorrectly. Which looks very good.

    What makes that I made:

    To the database (apex12D), I put all the nls paramereters the installation of the database of German letters:

    SYS@apex12D> select * from nls_database_parameters;
    
    
    PARAMETER VALUE

    20 rows selected.
    

    SPFILE parameters tells a different story, I tried to put them with "change the database < parameter > = < value > scope = spfile" and if a database has restarted, nothing changes.

    SYS@apex12D> show parameter nls

    Interestingly, it is that when I write a pfile to the bottom of my spfile and open it with vi, everything looks great. But OK.

    But nothing really worked. Can anyone help please?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello

    good German special characters are agree on the first server in ther, but not the second? I have this behavior when I set NLS_LANG = GERMAN_GERMANY. AL32UTF8 when I install the extension of the German language.

  • Dell XPS 8700 Windows 10 questions with SD card reader

    Hi, I bought a new Dell XPS 8700 three months ago.  It comes with Windows 8, even if I asked for preinstalled Win10.  The Win10 upgrade process was fairly straightforward.  However so far three times the SD card reader stopped working.  I fix it by reinstalling the drivers.  Its not working again and my USB stopped working also.  Is there a background process that interferes with USB / SD card drivers?  Anyone else noticed this behavior.

    Rgds Frank

    You can try this:

    Go into Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your SD card reader. Assuming that he has one, click on the power management tab, and uncheck the box 'allow the PC turns off... ». Now, do the same thing in Manager of devices for all your USB root hubs.

    Then go to the options screen to win 10 powers, click on advanced settings and turn off hybrid sleep. Reboot and see if that helps.

  • Replacing special characters with its actual value

    Hi all

    Anyone have an idea how to replace an extended character (ASCII ranging from 128 to 255 value) for its actual character set in SQL/PLSQL?

    For example: '½' should be replaced on a "1/2".
    '¼' should be replaced with "1/4"

    Ultimately if the value is "California 71 ½" then the result should be "California 71 1/2". "."

    Thanks for your time!

    Kind regards

    REPLACE the function?

    SQL> select replace('California 71 ½', '½', '1/2') from dual;
    
    REPLACE('CALIFORNIA71½','½','1
    ------------------------------
    California 71 1/2

  • Special characters in text boxes Acrobat XI (Windows)

    I use Acrobat Pro XI for Windows. At my work we have some documents that we mark upwards using the features of the text box and not insert it text. In the older version of Acrobat I used until this year (sorry - I know not what version), it was easy to insert special characters such as accented letters, the daggers to announce notes, etc., in the text boxes. I could go to the Edit drop-down list and there was a "special character" field I could call, and from there, I would choose punctuation, Greek letters, various and several other choices. It couldn't be simpler. But I can't find a way to add special characters to the text boxes in Acrobat XI. Just to be clear, I'm not talking to modify the text in the original document. I want to talk about adding a text box and then using special characters in the text I'm typing in the box. I was able to type special characters in a Word doc and then copy / paste them in my text box in Acrobat, but it takes a long time and requires sometimes I mess with the font of the text box. Any help with this will be sincerely appreciated.

    Special characters is a thing of Mac not a thing of Acrobat. So you have it on the PC.

    Use the character map application on the PC. (Accessories - System Tools).

  • Replace special characters in the FDF

    Hello

    I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer to this simple problem.  I can handle javascript in an HTML environment using free scripts, but it is not so easy in a PDF form.  I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and I have a form that once completed and submitted, generates and sends a FDF file.  I use a script on the server side, called FormGenie do this and the script hate parentheses and some other characters, they break the FDF file.  Everything I want to do is set up a document level Javascript that find and replace all instances of these special characters with something license as a hyphen - or just a space.

    I tried:

    function clearText() {}
    document. FormName.FieldName.Value = filterNum (document. FormName.FieldName.value)

    function filterNum (str) {}
    re = /\$|#|~|\%|\*|\^|\(|\)|\+|\=|\[|\]|\[|\}|\{|\;|\"|\<|\>|\?| \|| \\|\!| \$/g;
    remove special characters as ' $' and ',' etc...
    return str.replace (re, "-");
    }
    }

    and

    function clearText2 (str) {}

    stringName = stringName.replace (/------$| #| ~ |------% |------* |------^ | \(|\) |--------+ |------= |------[|------] |------[{|------} |------{|------; |------"|"}]) ------< | ------> | \ ? | \|| \\|\!| \$ /g,'-');
    }

    I know that these are not good, but I have to be at least barking to the top of the tree on the right.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    You create the form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?

    In general, you can place a script typo in the script of the text of each filter field field hit, in the case where something replacing the user typed with something else would not cause the concern of the user. An alternative would be to be implemented a script that parses the fields just before the submission form action takes place and not to replace them.

    For example, you can use the following JavaScript typo customized for text fields created in Acrobat:

    If (! event.willCommit) {}

    Event.change = event.change.replace (/ [------$# ~ %------*------*------^ \ (\)------+=------[\]------{\};------"\<\>\?]) \ | \\\ !] /g, "-");

    }

    and it will replace these characters when the user types the data into a text field. May not include all the character you want replaced, but you should get the idea.

  • Dell XPS 15 "display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

    Hello

    About 3 - 4 times a day while working, my computer hangs for 1 - 2 seconds and I get a message saying my display driver crashed and has fully recovered. In the event log, I see a warning saying:

    "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

    I have a Dell XPS 15 10 Windows running with the latest updates. It has a Intel (r) HD 4600 Graphics and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M graphics card. I also use a Dell D3100 3 USB docking station, however I notice the issue with and without this used.

    I tried to install the latest drivers for the NVIDIA card. I am currently using "10.18.13.5906".

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    See you soon,.

  • Factory setting Dell XPS 8500 32 GB MSATA

    I just bought a DELL XPS 8500 desktop computer refurbished with a 2 TB HDD and a 32 GB MSATA SSD, but I am not sure that hard drives have been configured correctly at the factory.  In the BIOS, the computer is configured as AHCI.  The machine came with Windows 8, which is installed on the 2 TB drive (drive C, entitled OS) and nothing is on the 32 GB disk (K drive, named DATAPART1). the SSD is empty showing 29.7 GB of available space.  The machine is in its State from the factory with nothing else installed.

    Caching is 32 GB SSD configured correctly?

    I tried to looked into technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, but the interface is not installed on the computer.  If I try to install the latest version of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver either Dell XPS8500 and site the site of Intel, in both cases, I get a warning that the AHCI driver that will be installed is older than what I currently have installed with the option to install the driver or not install the driver.  If I do not install the driver, the installation stops without having to install anything.  If I do not install the driver, Intel Smart Response Technology is installed, but upon restarting, Windows will not start and I have to restore the computer to its original state.  I tried to change BIOS to use RAID functions and then tried to install it again, but I get a similar warning this time, indicating that the RAID driver that will be installed is older than what I have installed. I didn't want to continue the installation after that I got this RAID warning from my experience when I had put AHCI in place.  I'm for revenue by to AHCI as was the factory default.

    Also, I have two supplementary questions:

    I longingly the SSD to the cache, or booting the operating system, so I looked in install Windows 8 on the SSD, I disconnected the 2 TB drive and started the machine, but I couldn't get the Windows 8 recovery disk provided by Dell to run when the 2 TB drive was not present.  Is it because I'm using a recovery disc and not a true disk of Windows 8, or is this a limitation of the system?

    I noticed that I was not provided with a sticker with my key of Windows 8. I know how to determine the key and have already done.  I was curious if this is correct, or if Dell just a mistake and does not give me the key?

    Hi ekeown,

    I appreciate your efforts to set up the mSATA SSD. You will need to format the SSD drive by following the steps I provided in the following post:
    http://Dell.to/YHvNS8

    You will need to download and install the application of TSRI from our site to download drivers, change the SATA operation setting in the BIOS RAID and activate the acceleration.

    2 TB hard drive contains the recovery partition that accesses the recovery disk to restore the system to factory settings and therefore the option could be used without the drive.

    Product key of Windows 8 is stored in the BIOS of the motherboard and it should be read automatically by Windows Setup.

    Please let me know if you need more assistance.

  • Load the new Dell XPS 13 9350 via thunderbold usb - c

    Recently bought the new Dell XPS 13 9350, 1080 p with the i5 processor version and I would like to know how to load the xps 13 via usb - c port sight.

    Which cable I'm able to use? I would like to use a male USB - A to USB - C cable to recharge the laptop using usb Sockets aircraft.

    Tracked down the answer:

    It does not simply with phone chargers. He needs Chargers portable a higher voltage. You cannot use cable USB A-To-C to load (unless you have a defective cable seriously, which can damage the charger). You cannot use the Nexus 5 X, 6 p or OnePlus Chargers.

    12-9250 Chromebook Pixel 2 and XPS (and perhaps a few other upcoming 2016 Dell systems) include a USB - C charger that works with the XPS 13 and 15. Chromebook Pixel charger is a wall wart, unlike most chargers for laptop with a brick in the middle.

    Buy a compatible USB - C charger costs as well buy a normal replacement Dell laptop computer charger, so it is honestly not much unless you want to use it on other USB - C devices (whether now or in the future). The Pixel charger can also with phones, but I don't know if the XPS - C USB charger can also.

    You'll also USB - C load with docks. Any USB docking station - C and any wharf 3 Thunderbolt should work with it. Dell has wo of them towards the end of the month of January each offers multiple output video, USB - A, Ethernet, audio ports and in charge. Plugable and some other manufacturers some too.

    big frank. Thnx for the index. But any idea on the number of lines special tanks.

    Sorry, I forgot about this.

    Your front end probably has a feature to display the number of lines. In SQL * Plus, it is

    SET   FEEDBACK    1
    

    To count the rows of the query itself, use the analytical COUNT function:

    WITH     got_new_empname          AS
    (
         SELECT     empname
         ,     TRANSLATE ( '!@#$%'     -- special characters
                     , '     '     -- exactly the same number of spaces
                     )        AS new_empname
         FROM    table_x
    )
    SELECT     n.*
