Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

Hey guys,.

I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

And if not, how can I fix?

Thank you. :)

Hi cripple.

Thank you for your message.

Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

What is a wireless keyboard?

If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

  • Speaker PC under 'Tab speakers properties-levels' option are gone after the new installation of windows 7 Professional.

    2 days ago, I did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional x 64 on my laptop Packard Bell EasyNote TX86. Since then my laptop makes a beep every time I plug / unplug the power supply.

    Before the fresh install, I was able to disable the cut-off function of the PC "Tab speakers properties-levels" speaker sound but now the PC speaker settings are no longer there (I tried disabling it in the BIOS but no option is also available). What can I do to turn off the beeps?

    I found the problem.

    Audio drivers that installs with windows 7 was incorrect. I downloaded the audio drivers from Packard Bell site, after their installation parameters PC speaker were back and I was able to disable the PC speaker.

  • Error loading operating system message is displayed after the partial installation of Windows XP

    Hello all, I was doing a clean install of Windows XP from the CD on my desktop PC.  I had reached the point where I had deleted the existing system partition and created a new system partition and had begun to load data from system to system on the CD when I accidentally stop the surge protector, shutting off the power to the computer, the screen of the monitor, etc.  After that I restored power, I turned on the PC without the XP installation CD in the CD/DVD drive.  The system posted successfully and start the CD line appeared IMMEDIATELY followed by the message "error loading operating system" on a new line.  I tried to start with the installation of XP in the drive disc, as well as with the "Ultimate Boot CD" in the player - the "Error loading operating system" message appeared in both cases.  Thanks for any help you can provide!

    The desktop PC has had a full legal work Windows XP with SP3, but I chose to reinstall from scratch, because I had problems with corrupted data in the Zone Alarm and card ATI graphics card software that caused random outages, lead to situations of re - start.  I couldn't fix the files for these 2 applications that I had this desktop PC in stock for more than 18 months and I couldn't remember the administrator password I had used.

    Once more, these error messages tell me you dΘmarrez the hard disk and no CD-ROM drive.  The message "NTLDR is missing" is read the boot sector, on most of the installations of Windows, the boot sector is usually the absolute sector 63 on the disc, using DiskProbe you will see the text of the message to the given sector.

    Your drive is perhaps at fault... or it may be absolutely nothing wrong with it!  You may need to press a key to boot from the CD, often you see a message like «Press any key to boot from CD...» "or some thing in this sense, maybe you're not a touch and the BIOS ignores the boot from CD-ROM and goes to the next boot device (hard drive).

    Hi I was wondering if my applications which have been pre installed on my Toshiba Satellite A500 would transfer through on a custom Windows 7 Setup.

  • Cannot adjust the brightness of the screen after the new installation of Windows 7

    I have a Pavilion dv2945se notebook. I have completely updated the Nvidia geforce 7150 m drivers. My laptop came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I did a new install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I can't adjust the brightness of the display. I narrowed down the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver. How can I solve this problem?

    Edit: I mean "impossible to adjust the brightness of the display" that every time I go into power options and trying to use the cursor, Windows Explorer crashes. Also, my fn + F7 and F8 keys light work before I connect to windows, but not after. I think that something will charge when I connect to windows that is causing the problem. So I went in Mode safe, but then all that allows to control the brightness has not loaded when I went into safe mode, which was not helpful. I also went into MSConfig and disabled all startup programs, but again, I have the same problem. The brightness of the keys work before connect you to Windows, but not thereafter.

    When I turn off the device generic PnP monitor (1) can't adjust the brightness at all and (2) the Power Options window stops freezing. That's how I've narrowed the problem to the generic PnP Monitor driver.

    I finally solved this by uninstalling the driver for the ALPS touchpad. Because there are no Windows 7 drivers for my laptop even though it is listed in the models capable of upgrading to Windows 7, I used Windows Vista touchpad drivers. It was the cause of my problem with brightness adjustment. I don't know why it worked, but I've narrowed it down by disabling all processes start and then from their one at a time to see what caused the problem. As soon as I started Apoint.exe, I started to have problems.

    Now, I just have to find a way to disable the touchpad tapping without the ALPS drivers.

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • Unable to change the base installation of Windows Vista Edition language family by using the restore Vista DVD

    I have Fujitsu Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile (laptop) with pre installed Windows Vista Home basic. It is in the English language.

    When I want to re-installed Vista using (supplied with Labtop) restore DVD, after the installation, it is in Arabic. I tried to change this language but I can't. Could you please help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You will need to contact Fujitsu about this.

    You cannot change languages with Vista Ultimate and Enterprise.

    You can have a different result if you try reinstalling using this method.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • After the reboot, I get Windows Vista build 6002 this copy of windows is not genuine, but the system... activation seems to be

    After a restart/virus scan (after the large recent Windows Update Microsoft), I see on the background one right part of my screen:

    Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine.

    I looked at the system screen and it shows only: Windows is activated.

    I ran Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics tool, and it shows:
    Validation status: genuine
    Validation code: 0

    N/a for resolution state (probably because he thinks that the installation is correct).

    Don't know what the issue is here?  Does anyone know a fix for this?  I would rather have not shut down the system after 30 days of work!
    Thank you!

    According to the report that you have posted, you should not see a non-genuine problem - the report is clean.

    If you are indeed to see a non-genuine notification, then is that from time to time, or is this all the time?

    If it is present only from time to time, you have a race condition - and those can be a nightmare to solve, because they disappear as soon as you look at :) They are often caused by antivirus programs in conflict with other programs running

    If it is there all the time, then try the following.

    Vista license store is perhaps damaged or its data can be ruined somehow. Please try the steps below to re-create the store with the correct data.

    (1) open an Internet browser window.
    (2) type: %windir%\system32 in the browser's address bar.
    (3) find the CMD.exe file
    (4) make a right click on CMD.exe and select "Run as Administrator"

    (8) type: cd %windir%\system32
    (9) type: net start slsvc
    (10) type: cscript slmgr.vbs - FLIR (it may take time for this will be complete, please be patient)
    (11) restart your computer twice.

  • laptop keyboard outputs incorrect strikes after unplugging the usb keyboard.

    I use a laptop Twinhead on which I plugged a Microsoft Natural keyboard for a while. Now when I did start, the laptop keyboard hit mixed-up and incorrect. I tried updating the driver, but it seems difficult that bing can't seem to get the - numbers - update. I noticed to form this forum that people have had a similar problem with connect a keyboard external usb. the solution was to press Fn + numberlock. It worked. Should I seriously to do forever when I use the keyboard of the laptop instead of a usb keyboard? There must be a good way to solve this problem, not a workaround solution.

    USB keyboard will automatically use a HID Driver and the driver disappears when I unplug it. The laptop keyboard still does not properly.

    I would probably uninstall the keyboard through Control Panel > system > hardware > device driver. Then right-click on the keyboard and uninstall it. Make a hard re-boot, then use the restore disc provided with most computers to re - install your keyboard.
