key Ctrl, alt and right click on the keyboard won't respond or work

I work on Window Vista Ultimate (HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC) and my ctrl, unresponsive keys alt and right click. So I can't use ctrl + c ctrl + v (or others) on any of my programs (such as Word or Firefox). I can either use ctr + alt + delete. And right-click on the keyboard button (which is the same as the right click on the mouse button) is not responding or the other.

I have already tried various things such as:

  1. pressing the combination alt + ctrl + fn
  2. "unplugging" the usb adapter (and even that I am not too sure of doing things)
  3. uninstall the keyboard driver and reboot
  4. restore the computer to factory settings

Help, please?

Have you tried a new keyboard?  Connect an external keyboard if it works that indicate your laptop keyboard is broken and requires replacement.  Also just FYI - this is a support forum for Windows 7; not that it is important in this case, but if you have a question related to Windows, find and use the correct forum might be essential to get the advice you need for your operating system.

  • Spectrum HP convertible x 360: right-click (for the context menu) has suddenly stopped working.

    In my brand new laptop right-click suddenly stopped working (for the context menu or any other use), while I was working with Excel 2010. I checked with Word 2010 and then also with Open Office: there is no right click works with any of them, whether Microsoft or not. I spent more than 5 hours looking for a solution, I did a repair of MS Office 2010, I looked for answers in cats - but nothing seems to work. I guess it has something to do with the touchpad - but what? Thank you for any suspicion.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 337c: right click on the taskbar for programs no longer works.

    1. product name and number: HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 337C

    2. operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Edition Home Premium (64-bit); Service Pack 1; Build number 7601; Version of DirectX 11.

    3. error message: None; wish that it is.

    4. all changes made to your system until the problem occurred: Geez, there was so much.

    Problem: It used to not be that way.  Whenever I right click on a program open on the taskbar, and move the mouse to the added elements or recent-objects, disappears from the list.  The mouse does not work, but I can still use the cursor up/down arrows to select the item, press ENTER, and it works.  But there may be other problems related to the use of the mouse; We'll save those for later.

    Thank you

    There is the possibility that there is a third-party shell extension that is the cause of the problem. You can analyze that yourself with a free utility called ShellExView. This may take some trial and error, deactivation and activation on your part.

    Only disable a single extension, both for troubleshooting, then turn it back on. If too many extensions at the same time, more specifically shell extensions Microsoft is off, then you might get a operating system unbootable.

  • Since the upgrade to 3.6.13, I can more open tabs using the extension, by right-clicking on the page and then not always. I had to go to Chrome that I can't get firefox to work.

    Firefox worked fine. I used it for years. When I finished the recent update 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension bit + box work quitting smoking. I can click on and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I can't open a blank tab or windwo as when I want to go somewhere again without closing windows I opened. The only way I can access a new tab is if I go to my favorites and open one then use this screen to go where I wanted to go. I had to switch to Google Chrome to perform tasks, line I need do it online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what I want.

    The Ask toolbar is initially in the version of Firefox 3.6.13. Obviously something in this extension is not compatible with a Firefox security patch. Disable this extension or uninstall it.

    Hello

    It's all DONE... I found the solution.

    The problem was due to the physical development of the touch pad. New song itself came with this incoherent design. When the side of the left and right buttons on the touchpad was not seated properly, instead he pulled little as in an oblique position. Don't know why, just made a hard push down on the side buttons of the touchpad today... which is it... suddenly I heard a noise like fit inside in the correct position and now my touchpad is flat...! I tried the left button and right click on... WOW... worked.

    I have almost given up for the use of left & right click on my touchpad, instead I started to use my mouse...

    Thank you...

  • When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen begins to blink and I have to do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

    * Original title: Steve M.

    I have My Documents on my Windows 7 desktop.  When I click the icon, an icon My Documents Shortcut.link then appears next to the My Documents icon.  When I right click on the shortcut icon, my screen started flickering and I mus do a Ctl/Alt/Delete to return to display system and monitor to normal.

    I tried to remove the My Documents icon, but who only 'pretending' in the file recycle.  Of course, I don't want to totally delete the My Documents!

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Although it is strange that the location of your documents is

    C:\Users\Steve\Doc

    Instead of

    C:\Users\Steve\Documents

    This result shows that the "My Documents" icon on your desktop is a shortcut and not the actual file with your documents.  The icon on your desktop has a blue arrow, like this:

    If you delete this icon, you should get a message like this:

    As long as the 'shortcut' word is in the message "Are you sure", everything you delete is a shortcut and not your actual files... so go ahead and delete it.  You can then create a new shortcut or just use the 'Documents' shortcut located on the start menu:

  • Option to "Remove" USB key by right clicking in the 'Computer' window it is no longer available.

    Using Vista, there is an option to "Remove" a USB key in the drop-down list it with a right-click in the 'Computer' window that lists all of your drives. He was usually right under "Eject" if I remember correctly. Why is it is gone?

    Please note that I am aware, you can also use the option 'Remove the device safely' in the task bar, but this application relates to the command drop-down list as the taskbar icon is a bit heavy and I preferred the speed and convenience to make it quickly through the window of the computer.

    Which is probably causing this problem?

    I see that you have changed your question of 'My Computer' to 'Computer', etc., after my reply to you.

    If your original question was 'Computer', etc., my answer would be more than the only option.

    Computer errors may occur from time to time, to which we have no precise answer.

  • File Explorer Windows 8 crashes whenever I do a right click on the USB key.

    File Explorer Windows 8 crashes every time I do a right click on installed - everything - USB or flash key and try to choose options, such as format, rename them or properties.  Windows Explorer crashes, closed its doors, and I'm sent back to the Start Page.  This happens with any USB key, on one of the ports on my computer, which I have at least 10.

    I can left click on USB in the file Explorer, and held one still able to open or interact with any file in the USB. I can save to the USB port of any other program, and I can usually eject it in the taskbar. The only problem is I can't do a right click on the USB key and select a function without kicks back to the start page and the file Explorer is restarted.

    My version of Windows 8 is an upgrade to Windows 7.  I have already tried a restart secure, and even in this State, the accident continues.

    I had the same problem with any flash/stick/key USB on my system (64-bit) Windows 8 Pro. I started out of the blue, had not installed a new software or updates. I couid do a right-click on the drive and get the menu, but any action in the menu I chose stop and restart Windows Explorer (without any error message.) I also tried the cleanboot approach with no luck.

    The solution that worked was to move the mouse to the bottom left of the screen and right click.
    Select prompt (Admin)
    in the cmd window, type:
    sfc/scannow
    and press ENTER.
    After about 15 minutes (about 4 minutes to check and then a little more than 11 minutes waiting while he was working in the background - but it seemed frozen. My system is an i7, 16 GB of Ram, 512 GB SSD drive - so your time may vary), I received a message that some corrupt files had been repaired and some had not. The newspaper was in a txt file in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS if the log file was inaccessible. I got a popup access denied .
    I rebooted the system and everything was fine and the problem of USB has been fixed.
