Keyboard does not not correctly in windows 8. Backslash switched with hash.

When I got windows 7, I had no problem. When I installed windows 8, the backslash key, right above the Enter key, type # now. Several other keys have changed places. For example, I've had @ key with SHIFT + 2, now its shift +'. It's really irritating, I have to open the keyboard on the screen to type. I hate this.

Several other keys have changed places. For example, I've had @ key with SHIFT + 2, now its shift +'.

Why not change to a keyboard easier to apply?  For example, go to the language and see what languages you have enabled.   Then click Options to see your keyboards.   Add another and use the Preview button to see if she would be more close to what you want to use.   Hmm... This preview feature is much less useful than I would have imagined.   Looks like what you need to do to see what contains a keyboard is to add in fact and then use it with the OSK to see its complete set of keys, in particular, press SHIFT-so to see available in capital letters in the top row.   Again, I am surprised by pressing Shift - so that the preview window is open is not the same thing.  But it is not too difficult to manage another window while you are experimenting.

Good luck

  • Keyboard does not work after windows update

    The keyboard of my laptop S series suddenly stopped working after that she completed an update of windows. Another strange thing is that the wireless only turns off even when the laptop is turned off. Everything else seems to work fine except for two things.

    First thing I did was to restore the system back to before the update of windows, but nothing has changed. Then I tried to uninstall the keyboard driver then by restarting the computer, after which it automatically reinstalled the driver but the keyboard still did not work.

    Then I "refreshed" system, but nothing has changed then either. And finally, I reset the factory settings and for a little while, the wireless light turns off, but then he came back even if I had not turned on the laptop. (Update: I just changed the laptop and the wireless light disappeared so... If all goes well he will not return as a sign of improvement.) There was no change to the keyboard.

    Additional details on my laptop that may or may not have something to do with the problem:

    It is currently running Windows Pro 8 on a 64 bit system and is less than a year.

    I accidentally spilled tea really diluted on the laptop a month ago, but the laptop was working again fine until windows update a few days ago. There is no significant problem caused by the spill other than a few sticky keys who take off on their overtime and that the sensors of the keyboard backlight no longer works correctly.

    Any advice on what else I might be able to try to try to again take the keyboard in a usable state would be great.

    Hi rhel!

    If the keyboard still does not work while in the BIOS, then it means that you have here a hardware failure, and the only way to solve that is to have the repaired computer. You can visit this page to start the repair process.

  • USB keyboard does not work after Windows 7 SP1

    I recently installed SP1 on my computer running Windows 7 Pro.  Everything was fine before SP1, but after installation, the keyboard is constantly up - does not not intermittently.  I noticed that SP1 seems to have updated kbdclass.sys so I wonder if that caused.

    The USB keyboard is inadmissible for up to 30 seconds when you try to connect to my PC locked.  Also, once connected, the USB port sometimes emits a sound like something to be connected or disconnected.  Meanwhile, the keyboard is again irreceivable.

    It's to the point where I think of getting a new computer.  I tried to uninstall the drivers USB, reboot and let the computer to reinstall.  I also ran MalwareBytes and Anti-Rootkit, looking for malware.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.  It has no other USB connected to my machine except the keyboard and mouse.

    Thank you

  • Firefox doesn't work does not correctly on Windows 10

    Well, I've upgraded to Windows 10 and since then, Firefox is not working properly (not not display graphics, google sites won't load do not, etc.), I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, I even waited for the new update... None of them worked. I read something about security certificates, saying I had to import them to Firefox, but the certificate that he mentioned did not exist in my computer. I have also disabled hardware acceleration, cleared my cache, even deleted my profile from my computer, all to nothing does not. It is sad to see the attached screen. (A text-only screen saying: "Firefox + Windows 10.) Perfect set")

    I hope you guys can resolve this problem as soon as possible. If this is happening to me, it happens to a lot of people.

    Did you secure yourself certificate errors? If Yes, do you use Avast, BitDefender, ESET or Kaspersky?

    If you do, we can give specific suggestions.*

    If this is not the case, a further 10 Windows users questions are report is that they were added to a family and their Firefox has been the subject of parental controls that causes seemingly random crashes. Try to turn off the parental control of Microsoft (or are not part of a family): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/turn-off-microsoft-family-settings

    * For Avast, you can disable the part numerical analysis of Web Shield. I saw these steps in another post:

    1. Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
    2. Select settings in the left side menu.
    3. Adopt a Protection Active.
    4. Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
    5. Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok.

  • WUSB600N does not work on Windows 7 Ultimate - even with the drivers of the site

    Hello

    I bought the WUSB600N (Ver 2) today and thought it might work on windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) because the drivers are available on this Web site. The accompied D does not work, because it contains only drivers for XP/Vista. However, when I install the drivers from the site (as described on http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=20873) and opened my network manager in Windows, it shows an error "an unexpected error has occurred"... very useful

    I guess that the drivers aren't good, but no other driver for this product is available, and as I know I installed the 'good '.

  • line of numbers under the function keys keyboard does not work after windows upgrade

    Upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit window Ult 64 bit. Line of keyboard under func keys works not just if online using Windows Explorer, Firefox Safari n - numbers don't work - some type; other type letter k; with the SHIFT key, signs and symbols, type anything. I can get the numbers of t using my keypad and numlock. I have tried 3 keyboards.  One was a Microsoft USB 4000 ergonomic keyboard brand new and it had the same problems.  My keyboard USB wireless transmitter had the problem too.  All have the same problem. The keys are correct by using Word, Wordpad, etc.. Quick test repetition key online as well as the keys were all ok then.

    This started happening immediately after I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate.  I use a desktop HP Pavilion a6667c with 8 GB of RAM and the latest updates available for windows ultimate.   The problem occurred before and after the upgrade to service pack 1.   I noticed other people on the web posting on this problem too.    I got no error message when using Vista Home Premium 64-bit version and had installed all the latest updates him as well.

    The only solution I found to this problem is to build me a small table of characters and symbols, I can't do it, and sticking them in when I am online using one of the three browsers I use most often.   I looked at my keyboard settings and changed back and forth between American and British English British without any result.

    I'll post my problem of keyboard on HP forums as well.   Thanks for any help anyone can give me or leads.   Somewhere, I think that it is a simple problem to solve, but I searched and searched and browsed and traveled for several days to find a lot of people who have this type of keyboard problem, but no solution yet.

    I was able to solve the problem on my computer Microsoft Vista but uninstalling constant guard I had downloaded and installed with free Norton from Comcast. I got this tip on another thread and after followinging their advice, I was free to use my line of numbers/symbols of the keys even once! I was able to close my copy of the email and the character or symbol and the last sheet in Word.

  • K8600 work does not correctly on Windows 7

    My k8600 comes to print to scale right on word, autocad, adobe reader software and perhaps other software installed on windows 7. If I print a drawing or text on sheet A3 the result is that printing occupies only the upper left side of the sheet.

    A beta win7 driver or a replacement driver exists for k8600?

    I had problems with margins in Windows Vista too... but not this terrible way!

    Kind regards

    I deleted the printer, I removed completely the driver Windows 7 print management and reinstalled the default driver simply by searching for the printer on the network. Now the k8600 seems prin normally.
