have tried all the bugs found here and there, that is to say updated drivers uninstalling and reinstalling etc.   Win7 + microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard I think it's maybe a defective keyboard

Hi Cynthia,.

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community Forums.

Based on the description of the problem, it seems that you are having problems with the Fn keys and access keys stopped working.

(1) have tried to check with another keyboard?

(2) have tried to connect the keyboard to the other computer?

(3) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

I suggest to follow the steps on the screen, keyboard and check.

Type without using the keyboard (on-screen keyboard)

  • Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

    After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

    The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

    Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

    Hello ExcelsiorPath,

    After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

      To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

    Hello

    Excuse me for my bad English. I have a problem with my Satellite A 300 PSAG4E-0450. Operating system went from Vista to XP. Easy keys, keys shortcut and illumination stopped working. All the drivers have been downloaded. I tried to find it in Control Panel-> Toshiba controls. I changed to bright power, but this isn't work. If I try to turn it off, I see a window with "choose order".

    What can be wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello!

    As far as I know, the lighting can be disabled and enabled in the BIOS.
    Check it!

    To shortcut keys, you should try to install the Toshiba controls and utilities hotkey.

  • Microsoft 4000 ergonomic, which are back and buttons just below the space bar for forward?

    Original title: tne on Microsoft 4000 ergonomic

    On the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard. What are the buttons back and next just below the bar of distinguished? I've never seen them do anything when I press them. And there is no link of programming the software set up for them.

    I just had the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard of THIS support in my office, and the back and the front keys work exactly as 'return' and arrows 'before' in my browser (Firefox).  I didn't do anything - program may be the game of the previous user upwards - but for me they work for the web back and forth, not navigation problem.

  • on my laptop of his fathers ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there.

    original title: laptop trouble

    Good so recently on my laptop of his fathers has ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there. He tried to clean the key to bored all possible ways, and nothing works. He wondered if he had a Ctrl function that would allow him to put a s with the key or bypass the password lock. Also, it has no access to a USB keybored.

    If the account in question was not the built-in account named Administrator, and then log on to that account and go to control panel > users to change the password.

    The password for the administrator built-in account is blank (no password).

    To connect to the built-in Administrator account:

    Reboot safe mode: press F8 immediately after power on.  The administrator account is displayed on the homescreen mode without failure.

  • Touchpad and F9 keys stopped working

    The touchpad has stopped working and the F9 key does work more for the touchpad.  How can I fix it?  It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Other F keys still work.  There used to be a drop-down list on the desktop for the F keys, but it doesn't work either.  In the properties of the touchpad driver, disable is grayed out.

    Hello

    Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
    and Forums.

    Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Toshiba downloads - access your model.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

    Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
    http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
    are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

    You can also try this:

    You can download but not install the drivers before the the below if you wish.

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    REBOOT - it will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and USB stack. This does not prevent the
    Touchpad work.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
    and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem, all of a sudden, without doing anything, my * FN keys stop working *. The adjustment of the brightness first always worked without appearing in the bar at the top of the screen, but when I restart the computer even no work, nothing in relation to the FN key works.

    My biggest problem is that my computer is a Toshiba Satellite L500-13W and * I can only activate wireless by pressing FN + F8 *. I can't stay with this issue much more. I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.

    Hello

    > I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
    Does that mean exactly? What have you already tried exactly?
    You should post this very important information what you exactly did.

    Furthermore, I can't find any more information about your operating system. You are using Vista 32-bit, but is this preinstalled Toshiba or have you installed yourself?

  • both Ctrl keys stop working on R61i

    Hi, this is my first post. I tried the search function, but couldn't find the answer.

    I've owned several ThinkPads since the R30 and they have always been reliable. (My wife and I still have this R30 more 3 R40s and 2 R61s)

    R61i my wife developed a problem (under XP Pro). The Ctrl keys no longer work.

    I can copy and paste by using the menu, right click menu, or on the keypad of the screen.

    If I go to Notepad, press Ctrl + c, the 'c' character is typed.

    I found Windows "Narrator" who will speak the names of the keys when you press. It is quiet when you press a Ctrl key.

    I think it is strange that both Ctrl keys stop working at the same time that would make me assume that it's not the physical keys themselves.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Why my Fn key stopped working?

    I have a laptop Asus G73JH and the Fn key stopped working.  I tried reinstalling the drivers, update drivers, etc, and nothing has worked.  Any suggestions?

    In the meantime, find a work around. ASUS maybe provided a utility to exchange the keys F1 - F12 to be multimedia to be again the function keys control keys & back if necessary]. This would reduce your need for the Fn key.

    In a Valley, this utility is in Control Panel as a dialog Windows Mobility Center updated the. Try looking first in case they all are the same way.
