Keyboard does not not - computer laptop windows vista
When I type information online, my keyboard intermittently unresponsive. Each several keystrokes, the keyboard is not recognized, and I have to retype the special characters. As I'm typing fast enough, it's extremely frustrating. When I work on my hard drive, however - word or outlook, I don't have any experience of the problem at all. Help, please!
Hello
What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).
If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.
Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.
Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.

Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard does not completely work in Vista
I have the MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 installed on my PC.
I recently had a few separate issues with my computer and technology at Geek Squad did some work cleaning on my PC for best performance and to get rid of a bad program. I am running Vista SP2.
On my keyboard, there are a series of buttons on the top which opens to different folders, or programs. I had to open Excel and open Word. The others are default Media Player, email, IE 8, My Documents and my pictures. Everything worked correctly and opened the program folder / to, before cleaning. Now mail, IE 8, and Media Player buttons still work, but others did not. However if I open the Microsoft Keyboard program buttons become functional and remain so until I restart the computer. The keyboard works fine otherwise. Y at - it a boot option which can have been withdrawn inadvertently during the cleaning process, which is the cause and if so how can I have reconstitute?
Thanks for any help.
Hi BCfromKY,
To test the response of the keys on the keyboard, use the Microsoft keyboard Diagnostics (MS Key), a utility program that is included with the Microsoft IntelliType software. To use MS Key, follow these steps.
Note the MS key utility is only supplied with the version of the Microsoft IntelliType 1.1 and later versions. If you do not have Microsoft IntelliType installed, you can visit the following Microsoft Web site to install this software:
http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK)
Start Microsoft Keyboard Diagnostics. To do this, use one of the following methods:
a. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories and then click Run.
(b) in the Open box, type mskey and then click OK.
c. If you get no response in MS Key on your keyboard, test the keyboard on another computer. If the keyboard does not work on another computer, see the "Références" section for more information on how to contact Microsoft Supplemental parts to get a replacement.
For more information, you can consult the following article:
Troubleshoot wired keyboards that do not or only the erroneous characters category

Tittle says it all, I tried safe mode and the rest of them, but I can't start
Restore point:
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
