If I want to I have to hold down the FN key and shift at the same time key to get capital letters uppercase letters.
Looks like your laptop is a numeric keypad incorporated in the standard keyboard. So, probably, you have NumLock to be able to use this feature. Find a way to turn off Num Lock.

I get no option restore when I hold down the cmd key
I have a mac mini with a 2.53 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB two HD (a server) end of 2009. I bought the mac mini 2nd hand and restored with a copy of my mac book pro 2010 running El Capitan. I restored it by pressing the command and r after that restart and select the external hard drive with time machine copy of my macbook pro.
I noticed that the mac mini is extremely slow compared to my macbook pro, which has similar features. I also noticed that there is no network preferences panel and there are other subwindows preferences (icloud, internet accounts and startup disk) that does not open.
For these reasons, I tried to restore the mini with copy cloned my MacBook when it was running Yosemite, but when I restart and hold down command & r, I don't get food options and it goes directly to the login screen. I tried with the time machine, a cloned HD backup but I don't get any restore option for either.
When I try to open the startup disk, which does not either. I seem to be stuck now with a very slow machine and no option to restore to factory settings or my older OS of Yosemite.
My apologies for the long post, but I am confused as to how to proceed and would appreciate any help.
Erase the hard drive then install Snow Leopard from the DVD retail. The update 10.6.8 download installer of El Capitan of the App Store, click the install button after the download is complete and the installation program is started on your computer.

My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ50 - 210us Notebook PC running Windows VISTA. All support comes from HP. He developed a mind of your own. The screen starts rolling when he wants to. I have no control over it. This happens with the games already installed HP, IE9 and office. Sometimes I can stop it by pressing the ctril, but once I stop it again. If I turn off the laptop and wait to turn it back on it starts rolling and sometimes it for more than 10-15 minutes. All updates are in place. Any suggestions is it really a problem? Thank you.

Hi Kdooley,
Are a. When you facing this problem?
B. using a laptop or a desktop computer?
C. is - what happens with specific applications?
D. don't you plug a different keyboard to check?
Method 1
I suggest you to connect this keyboard on another computer and see if it even. If the problem persists, try Method 2
Method 2
Try to change the rate of repeat on the keyboard and check if it helps.
- Open keyboard by clicking the Start button, clicking on Control Panel, hardware and sound, tap keyboard.
- Under character repeat, move the repeat rate slider to the left to keyboard characters repeat more slowly, or to the right to make them repeat faster.

If the problem persists, then it might be a problem with the keyboard itself.
Kind regards

I get a message to activate Windows, but when I enter the product key from the back of the pc, told me that it is not valid. I've used Windows every day. that's some update? (I'm running Vista). I have done a few months ago after repairing the pc, but the number has worked well. I have the installation disc of Windows that came with the computer, but did not know if the "repair my computer" would do the trick. Anyone have this problem?
Hello
· Where there any material changes done on the computer when it was repaired?
· What is the brand and model of the computer?
First of all, I suggest you to contact your computer manufacturer and check the valid activation key. Follow these methods and check if that helps.
Method 1:
I suggest you to refer to this article and check if it helps:
Resolve activation problems

Method 2:
If Windows detects that the hardware on your computer has changed significantly and the previous method does not resolve your problem, you may need to contact Microsoft for help.
