I get strange symbols when typing and the only way to get rid of them is to shut down my computer!

Sometimes while typing, a bar appears above the letter, I type with a large number of strange symbols for this letter. The keyboard stop typing. The only way I found to get out, is to shut down my computer and restart it. My wife has the same problem on his computer. What are the causes and can disable this pen?

When you press certain keys in the letter, a menu of accented letter versions (used in foreign languages) appears so you can choose a. To remove the menu, all you have to do is to continue typing. Product there not?

  • Firefox loses Internet every 5-10 minutes (as for example, Skype does not work), and the only way to solve this is to reset the network adapter (reset DNS and get the new IP address?)

    I click with the right button on the icon of the network adapter and press "fix." After that, I can browse sites for 5-15 minutes. But then the story repeats itself. And all of this can happen while I will have a video chat on Skype, so the internet connection is OK.

    • Try this.
    • Type in the bar of address about: config.
    • Accept the warning.
    • On the page that appears, in the filter box, type Network.http.Max - connections.
    • Replace the value 32 (which is probably the value 256 in your case).
    • Close the topic: config page.
    • Restart the browser.
  • My computer freezes and the only way so he can come back is to hit the reset button. He did it since the day that I got the computer.

    I talked to my people to internet protection and they say that it must be something to do with microsoft software. I bought the computer from people don't get it to reproduce the problem, so they can not fix it. Sometimes I'm on the internet or not that's why I tend to think it's a matter of microsoft.

    How old is the computer?  Is it is a Windows problem, then a clean reinstall or reset to factory State would fix it.  It was present from the first day that you got the computer so I tend to think that it is a hardware problem, call those who sold you the computer using, if I had received such a machine, I immediately, he would have returned, computers are not supposed to work like this when they come new out of the box!  To solve this, I would like to start by running a test of the RAM on the machine.

  • Dell XPS 15z: "your battery is temporarily disabled. If please shut down your computer and try again when the unit is in the operating temperature"

    Hello

    last night, I was working on my laptop, I realize that my battery is low. so I put for loading... after a while, I realized that the battery is 75% charged so that I disconnect it. and my laptop turns off.

    the laptop refused more late start... therefore I reconnected it the charger and the laptop turned on with the light that displays the State of charge (white light near the intersection of the keyboard screen) starts to blink in a cycle of 5 times... 4 times orange and 1 white time... and this cycle continues until I use the laptop.

    and this message when I go to THE BATTERY option "your battery is temporarily disabled. Please shut down your computer and try again when the unit is in the operating temperature"my cell phone is outta warranty... what should I do? kindly help

    hchentanshankar,

    Welcome to the community.

    I am sorry to read that you are experiencing this issue.  The battery is likely guilty, but you should check to see if there are any problems with the laptop or AC adapter / CC before you rush out and replace the battery.

    I would start by checking the bios, boot the system by pressing F2 to enter the bios, you can also press F12 and select the bios menu.  Once in the bios look for the option for AC adapter warnings, if they are disabled they can and save the changes. If there is a problem with the adapter, you should start getting errors on the adapter.

    If the adapter seems well, disconnect the battery from the system and turn off the laptop.  Wait an hour or two and then replace the battery and restart the system and see if you continue to get the message.   If you can run the laptop on battery only to leave the battery completely and then load it again and see if the problem returns.

    I know that this may not be possible before you buy a new battery but if possible try a power adapter and the battery and see if the problem persists.  In this way, you can know if the problem follows the laptop battery or the AC adapter.

    Please let me know what you find.

    Some extensions or toolbars can add such a report.

    It can also be part of the code on a page to prevent dataloss if you began to type text (composing a new mail) and you try to close this tab.

    You should be able to close this report and close the active tab.

  • Remote Desktop, response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key

    I have a laptop running Vista professional that I used to connect (DSL) to a desktop computer using remote desktop (XP) work.  Several months ago, I started noticing a response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key. For example my name, Garth, might get typed Garth, the text could (for example) get typed as 9 example0 and so on. The delay of the effects as well the pressed ALT key and assigns these keys on both sides of the keyboard.
    I did not used to have this problem and wonder if an automatic update to my laptop (vista) could have caused this problem. This problem does not exist when I connect the laptop using office away from my local Starbucks. My other laptop (older) doesn't have this problem at home or on the go.

    Well Garth, it seems that the problem may be with your home network if you have 'no' to this question when connecting to a local Starbucks.

    While you're at home with this laptop and connected to your DSL, it is a problem if you are 'not' connected to the desktop computer?  Or is it a problem regardless of whether you are connected or not connected to the work computer?

  • 10 iOS is picking up strangers in the photos and adding them to the list of people.  How can I get rid of them completely.  That is, pictures that I don't like this person speak

    perfect strangers (people standing or sitting in the background of an image that I took) are appearing in my list of people and there is no obvious way to get rid of them.

    The only thing you can do about them is hide people or ignore them, if they appear in the section "Add people" from the album of peoples.

    If you hide a person detected, no photo with this person will be added to a memory.

    See this help page: http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/#/iph9c7ee918c

    Hide and show people. Tap Albums, people, press Select, tap on the people you want to hide, and then select hide. To redisplay the people, press on show hidden people, press Select, people, then press display. Photos that contain hidden people appear not in Moments, Collections, the years and memories but are visible in albums.

    Show hidden people. Press Albums, people, drag upward, on view hidden people. To see all the pictures with hidden people, tap Albums, tap Hidden.

  • When I try to shut down my computer with Firefox running it hangs and stops the shutdown process.

    When I try to shut down my computer with Firefox running, it does not close properly during the closing. Instead, it crashes (as described in this article) and will continue to do so until I have stop the shutdown process and close it manually, where it will still not respond. There is the substantive issue. Here is the list of the relevant data to identify more precisely:

    On the list of programs is still active during the closure, the window of Firefox starts only appearing once as it should be, but a few seconds after starting to hang, it begins to appear a second time on the bottom of the list, with the specific name of the page is a duplicate of whatever it is on the original.

    This problem does not occur in safe mode, but it is not caused by one of my addons either, as I figured out after disabling all my addons with tools > Modules rather than the safe mode and still the problem.

    He is listed as that passes several times a week, but that is simply because that's how many times I forgot to close Firefox before pressing 'closed' and leaves the room without bothering to check it works. It happens whenever I try to turn off the computer with Firefox is running well.

    See this article--> occurs not in Safe Mode

  • virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them

    I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.

    Hello

    First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.

    You can take action include:

    (a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.

    (b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.

    (c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.
