Keyboard does not type the correct characters after upgrade to Windows 8

After the upgrade to win 8 from win 7 on my laptop, that some special character keys don't work in the exact way. For example, when I press SHIFT + @-> I get "result and vice versa.

Also the sign of the backslash works. It gives the character # and hash gives me character £.
Any help?

Another possibility is the incompatibility with the constant guard of Comcast program, which is not compatible with Win 8.  I had the same problem (1-0 on the main keyboard keys don't work), but once I uninstalled the constant guard, everything worked again. (Of course, I had to reinstall Norton.)  Thanks to a person of a forum package for the suggestion!

    Hello

    Regarding the problem of scrolling, I had a few ideas I wanted to try to see if I could reproduce this as I think this is your problem. Alas, it seems that your problem is not what I think it is or I just can't reproduce it.

    The only thing I can think is that you moved the window so that part of it lies below the taskbar. You move windows by placing the pointer of the mouse inside the title bar and 'drag' the window to a new location. If this is the case, you should be able to move the window again once so that it is visible to all. This link...

    .. .save a guide for Vista but most applies to XP.

    Here are a few troubleshooting steps...

    1. If you hold down the Alt key and press ENTER, the entire window, including scroll bars, becomes visible? ALT-Enter again will put the rear window as it was.
    2. What is the brand and model of your display and what resolution do you currently use? Right-click on an empty part of the desktop background, and then click Properties. Then click on the settings tab.

  • S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

    I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

    The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

    It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

    I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

    Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

    Hello FTLOSM,.

    I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

    Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

    Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

    The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

    It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

    What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

    I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

    Thank you and best regards!

  • Keyboard does not in the guest windows 10

    Hello

    A newbie to mac but a long-time windows user, so feel free to be as technical as possible. After more than 10 years on windows, finally decided to pull the plug and switch completely to a mac. Since I had to give my old windows PC (Windows 64-bit 10), I used the coverter free vcenter to perform a P2V from my windows PC conversion. The resulting virtual machine was created as virtual machine VMware fusion 8 compatible.

    WHAT VM Windows starts on my macbook running fusion 8 pro (running El Capitan) However, the keyboard does not register in Windows VM itself. Was browsing through the community, but have not all good tracks.
