• keyboard does not type correct characters

  I type this word because when I type in Firefox (it appears only in Firefox) random characters are displayed instead of the typed character. For example if I type "qwerty", I get the following characters "asdfgh" if I try to repeat "azerty" then I "#zxcvb".
  I tried to run in safe mode and also tried resetting Firefox, I also tried another keyboard, but nothing seems to work!

  This problem may be caused by the Anti-Keylogger in ZoneAlarm, so you can disable this function until ZoneAlarm has published an update.

• keyboard won't type shift characters after upgrade of Windows 8

  The top row of shift characters and numbers will not work since I upgraded to Win8. Can I use the numeric keypad for numbers, but I have to copy / paste from a Word document to connect to sites since I can't use the symbol @. I have a Pavilion notebook dvv-7030us, Win8 running. I spent in the support page drivers and downloaded all the drivers updated available. I changed the language of the keyboard to each available English version. I ran the update of the BIOS as well. Nothing works so far. I went to the devices page and run diagnostics - he says: this device does not work correctly - no he isn't! Not the end of the world that I can't use the top line characters but it IS very annoying and a waste of time, having to copy / paste a word document whenever I need to use wildcards. Curiously, the works for keyboard just fine in MS Word and, thank God, on the first page of connection to start my computer.

  If you go into the control panel and then to the section programs and features you have an application installed, called ' constant guard?

  If you do, remove and restart the laptop.  Then verify that the problem is resolved.  Much of the information I found suggested that this request had something to do with the problem and that its deletion solved the problem.
  
  Let me know the result.

• A few specific characters appear only after the introduction to the keyboard key twice in Inspiron 15R 5520

  Dear all,

  I am facing a very strange problem in my Inspiron 15R 5520 I bought in August 2012. There are a few characters that only appear after typing the corresponding button on the keyboard twice.

  for example if I want to type a tilde (~) character, I have to press the fear side of the number key 1. But, if I press it once, nothing appears on the screen. If I press this key twice, then I get two characters tilde (~). Same behavior occurs with four other characters. Below is a list of characters that do not show by pressing the button once, rather than twice.

  Surprisingly, when I was typing shift + 6 in the field of the composition of this forum, then the sign of the (^) character appeared after press the key once. Whereas, if I try in Notepad or Word Pad or the Mozila FireFox address bar, I have to press the key two times so that character appears twice, and then delete the extra character.

  Can you help me please?

  Thank you

  Gerard

  The problem is with the keyboard language setting. You may have selected English (International) while setting up your laptop / desktop at the beginning.

  Go to control panel of-> all items from Panel of control-> region and language-> Formats.

  Change Format English (United States). It should solve your problem.

• A few computer keyboard keys laptop lenovo, type the letter/number pair

  I've tried; keyboard software is uninstalled, then put it back in place.

  When I type the '1' key he types "1z" and when I type "z" slap it "1z". Same type of problem is illustrated by the other pair of key such as 2 x, 3 c, 4v, 7 m, 8, 9. and 0. Even if it is locked i.e.

  1Z, 2 X, 3 C, 4V, 7 M, 8, 9, AND 0

  As well as these keys does not display anything; ' and ". And the key Ctrl and entry does not work. Other key is OK.

  But On-screen Keyboard works normally.

  I use a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop.

  According to this thread at Lenevo, it's a faulty keyboard.

  1. you can replace your keyboard

  2. clean as mentioned in the thread

  3. move the hand slightly on all keys and see if it works

  Read the thread carefully.

• How can I type the characters printed in green on the keyboard of Acer aspire switch 10?

  My (Northern) keyboard on my Acer Aspire switch 10 has some characters printed in green. This includes the backslash character I need desperately. However, I can't find any information in the manual or elsewhere about access (type) these characters. Help, please!

  I tried now. With the help of the button Fn-type only the characters printed in blue. The backslash is printed in green, as is the Danish æ and 0-slash (o). Explaining the problem to my wife, she wanted to give it a go. And to my surprise it resolved in less than a minute. I had missed that the backslash WAS ALSO printed in white on the same key as + and? so, to be able to type it, all I have to do is pressed the Alt - Gr key pressing this key. Stupid of me to do not see it the first time around.

  Getting back to the question initial on the characters printed in green, I came to the conclusion that it is "conversion" of the keyboard in a Danish provision of individual countries by specifying this keyboard layout in Windows settings. Similarly, there are a few characters printed in red. I assume these are Norwegians.

  This type of complexity, that's what you get when manufacturers want to reduce country-variants for as little as possible, I guess.

  So all is well here

  For reference, I enclose a picture of my keyboard

  

• Why is-strike (shift-") on my keyboard (@) key? When the other my keyboard is (update 2). __

  Why is-strike (shift-") on my keyboard (@) key? When the other my keyboard is (update 2).

  Hi acesdie,

  Probably to do with the language of the keyboard. Shift + 2 is the American keyboard. Go to control panel and click the language and region. In the window of the region and language, click the keyboard and languages and then click on the button "change keyboards. What language is in the box 'default language'? If it's in the United Kingdom and you are not in the United Kingdom, then click the Add button and select English (United States). Click the plus (+) next to the English (United States) option and then click on the plus sign (+) next to the option "keyboard". Here you will see a list of the types of keyboards, i.e. the United States Dvorak, Dvorak to the United States for the left hand, etc. If you have a keyboard to type Dvorak, then select one of them; If this isn't the case, then I suggest to choose the United States (international) or simply WE. Then click on the arrow to the right of the box in the section "default input language" and select English (United States), and then click apply then OK.

• Dell XPS 13 type special characters with keyboard

  I'm unable to type special characters with my Dell XPS 13 with Windows 8 pre-loaded. For example when you type ' ^ ' followed by 'e', you should get 'e '.

  My previous 13 XPS with Windows 7 preinstalled worked well. I loaded all the latest drivers, but the functionality is still missing. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on? Or are still missing drivers for Windows 8?

  Help will be appreciated

• 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!

  Replace the keyboard usually solves the problem? Keyboards are available for this model?

  Furthermore, juice was accidentally spilled on it weeks, so I guess that's the cause of the problem.
  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, maybe the question is related to the spilled juice.

• When I type some characters often do not appear but if I wait for awhile and tap them again once they appear.

  This happens in all programs that I can type, (e-mail, WP). Sometimes I can type the characters if I come back, space or both using the arrow key and then forward and try again.

  Laura V:

  Thanks for your help. It was a very frustrating experience, not being is not in a position to have all the I type characters appear. I did a full scan and who was clean. I was not able to boot mode safe then I deleted all the programs that I installed for several months, but the problem of many characters not appearing not when I typed persistent. I was about to bite the bullet and to restore an image of my C drive from a hard drive external when I decided, just for completeness, to test the keyboard. I unplugged my wireless Logitech keyboard and plugged an old keyboard. Eureka! Typing all appeared OK. What a relief. I think that the rf in my wireless keyboard transmitter was at fault and that it was not send all the characters I typed. I should have checked the keyboard first, but it was only 3.5 years old and I couldn't believe that it went wrong so little time. All's well that ends well. Thanks again.

• Keyboard key issues

  I have a laptop (DV6206us) and recently started having some keyboard key issues. For example G, H, BACKSPACE, scroll keys and some other don't type/work in a hurry. The keyboard itself has had a cover transparent latex that I installed the keys because I bought it to protect from spills, dust, etc... After taking a closer look, I noticed that if I press a certain area/s around the keyboard keys are working. But as soon as I release the pressure of the particular region the keys stop working.

  This is an easy fix? Something I can do myself? If this is not the case, what would be the approximate cost for the repair or replacement of the keyboard?

  I suspect that my son (15mos) is at fault. I have a few times caught using my laptop as a step back bag, while the laptop was in the bag. The backpack offers a padding on all sides. But I think that the pressure of him standing / use it as a step caused the keyboard key issues.

  The problem has been resolved with just open up the laptop and fixing the connector loose keyboard cable I found.
