Keyboard layout has changed. Symbol and the number of keys do not work properly.
my friend borrowed my computer and then I came home and tried to send someone. When I type I can't get the shift to capitalize the letters or the numeric keys to make an exclamtion, or the sign or dollar etc... can you help me.
Hello
The friend may have changed keyboard and other parameters which they should not do
without telling you. Try a system restore before that happened - reboot first to see if this
It clears.
Reboot and then if necessary use this method to return to until the problem occurred.

I've had my laptop for several years and a week ago, the hard drive crashed. So, although I had all my photos and movies and other saved, I lost Vista. This wouldn't be a problem if I could find the disks that came with the computer at the beginning, but I've moved several times in recent years (college) and I can't find them. Anyway, I'm now trying to get in touch with Microsoft to get a new drive, but they won't talk to you unless you can provide a product key.
There is a product key on the back of my laptop, but their system apparently doesn't like it and so they're going to make me pay $ 50 just to send someone. Someone knows how to bypass the product key thing, so I can get a customer support?
Thank you
ChandraHello
as vista came preinstalled Microsoft do not offer FREE support for this issue of yours. That is why the price of $50.
and they ask for a product ID, not a product key that you mentioned; but who has the same result; no free support
Product ID is completely different from the product key
your support is the manufacturer of your laptop; but feel free to ask questions on these Forums
to reinstall vista:
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

My keyboard has suddenly changed such as SHIFT + 2 gives rather than ", the hash key gives------, shift + 3 gives # instead of the pound sign etc.» However, when I check in languages all parameters are still English UK. All responses I've looked at suggest that it is a problem if the keyboard layout gets switched to the English of the United States but mine is permanently set to English UK. How can I fix this.
Thank you.
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand that the keyboard layout has changed and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;
- Remember to no particular change in page layout settings or in the computer before the show?
- What all the troubleshooting methods have been tried?
This problem may be due to some incorrect settings or due to some corrupt language files. Let's try the following methods and check the status.
Method 1: Try to set a keyboard as a default configuration and check if it helps.
To set a keyboard as the default keyboard, so you don't have to change the input methods to enter text with it, follow these steps:
a. open Language in the Control Panel by dragging from the edge right of the screen, tap Search (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking Search), Add a language you enter in the search box and then click Add a language.
b. press or click on Advanced settings.
c. under Override for the default input method, select the keyboard layout, you want to be your default keyboard and then press or click Save.
Method 2: If the problem persists, remove and re-add the languages.
You can see: change your language or your keyboard
Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

CS4 on Windows 10 seems to be broken... at least I can't clone. Before that, Silver FX and the related add ons did not work. I would like to remove and re-install Photoshop CS4 on Windows 10, but I'm afraid that none of these upgrade CD I will work... they are all dependent on a previous installation. If I remove photoshop and try to use the CS4 install disc I have, it fails? Will I need to re - install Photoshop 5.5 and each single update since then go to CS4?
You need not install older versions in order to get the last update enabled. During the CS4 activation process, you can specify the eligible previous version (choose the oldest among a list, then enter its serial number). Choose any one you had just before CS4.

Video tutorial of Danielle Beaumont 'Add sensitive to the master page items' is not working properly. Now I'm stuck with the "Pigeon" - site and I do not know. can someone help me?
Hello
I don't know why he's not working on your side, because I am to play the tutorial in all browsers, however, I would suggest you to please try to delete the cache of your browser.
And also to change your network if you are connected to a wifi.
If none of them works, please try to uninstall the flash player and put it back, once the browser will ask you to do.
Kind regards

I have an iPad 2 and one row of keys just stopped working. I tried to force a restart and it has not fixed the problem. Any ideas?
If you rotate the camera in landscape mode, change the key group that will not work, in correspondence to the East of the screen does not not in portrait mode? If so, then it could very well be a hardware error. If the force restart did not work, your next troubleshooting steps would restore backup, restore to factory. Until you if you want to go too far, or all simply make an appointment at the Apple Store nearest to have the material examined.

Satellite C660-2EL - Wireless n and the F8 function key does not show
Satellite C660-2EL - Wireless works sometimes, but mostly not. Wired connection is ok. When does not not Fn 8 does not appear and the wireless card does not appear in the devices.
Pilot was handed in place.Have tried reset default and many other things - yesterday was working - light today and not...
Help!
Hello
If the wireless network adapter does not work or its lack in the device, the FN + F8 key combination Manager would not work.
So the problem is your wireless network card.The WLan card driver is missing or malfunctioning of the WiFi chip.
The device uses the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
Have you installed the chip RTL8188CE WLan driver?
Make sure what you've done!Otherwise, if the WLan card is not listed in the Manager (no unknown device or Ethernet controller) devices marked with yellow exclamation point I guess that the module is faulty.
