Keyboard, type the foreign letters

Yesterday my keyboard worked today a few letters type extra charaters when you press.

example: y = ' h yp = u [8hn g = yp7gb o = 5o\0 n = [8hn

IM currently using keyboard on screen, but that used to help me log in the admin of my computer part. Please help I do not know if its my computer or my keyboard is causing this problem.

Hi junerose79.

Sounds like a problem.  It was smart to think about using the characteristic Visual keyboard.  What kind of keyboard you use?  I've seen keyboards you can remap the keyboard, who actually runs the keys to type something different than what he would normally be.

You have another keyboard, you can use temporarily to see if it solves the problem?

There is a feature in Windows called sticky keys, but I'm not sure that could cause what you see.  But just to be safe, go to "change how your works for keyboard and make sure all the settings are correct."

    Each key on the keyboard has its share in the circuit without dependence on the other keys.  Just because someone broke a window in your home does not mean the rest are too broken. ;-0

    installed a keyboard and wireless mouse and the mouse works fine, but the keyboard types the wrong keys! Any ideas? Thank you

    Wired or wireless - is usually not serious unless the wireless can get more interference.  If the keyboard is close to the receiver which is connected to the computer and you get the strikes hurt - my suggestion is to try first the keyboard on another computer.

    To do this, * not * require you to install specific drivers.  Simply unplug the combo of a computer and in the other and see if the keyboard works correctly.  Then, you can troubleshoot from there.

  • Keyboard, type the letters wrong when you play

    When I start a game on my computer without running as an administrator, he begins to act really weird. All the letters stop working. That would happen, that if I press q, he's input 1. If I have another letter of the alphabet input, it will correspond to another number, but the weird part is if I try to write a message in the game, the type of letters about what they are supposed to type.  I don't know why this is happening, everything was working fine until I recently updated my laptop. It'll be great if someone could help me with this problem.

    Hi all

    Check the following suggestions:

    (1) confirm that your keyboard is set to the English language.
    Go to the control panel. Click the icon "Region and language".
    If the setting appears to be in a foreign language, change it to English/U.S.
    Click on keyboard and language, make sure the keyboard language is set to English.
    Click on the keyboard to change and in the general tab, make sure you have the appropriate language.

    (2) check if your NumLock key is enabled. If so, the key to disengage.

    (3) run a litmus test of characters using the Diagnostics of keyboard Microsoft (MSKEY) program. While in the MSKEY program, press multiple keys in order to ensure that they are the same keys identified in the MSKEY window.
    To run the MSKEY diagnostic test, go to the Start button. In the start search box, type mskey, and press ENTER.
    Then start typing the keys that are not type correctly and see what is returned during the test.

    Please let us know if you were able to identify all the problems.

    Sincerely,.

  • Keyboard, type the letters instead of numbers

    After getting a virus on my computer and run MalwareBytes, my keyboard shows numbers when I typed letters. I have a Windows XP desktop PC and NUMLOCK is not on, so something is wrong. This does not occur when you use my admin account, apparently since I wasn't using it when I got the virus.  When they provide answers, please keep in mind that I can't run any programs in the account assigned because of problems caused by the virus file association. Runs the file XP on Doug Knox website for fixing exes did nothing within the affected account.

    The virus has not caused the problem. I found on another site that this is as a result of protection Comcast ConstantGuard.  I uninstalled it, and my keyboard is now back to normal. Most sites say it is caused by a num lock, but it wasn't the case with me.

  • iPad Pro occasionally don't type the lowercase letters (the "space" remains stuck in upper case)

    What happens is I type something, in general, I accidentally hit the 'Shift' or something happens that otherwise made me decide to go back and change a letter to a lowercase letter, but after a BACKSPACE on a capitalized letter, I type a new letter, only that the new letter is now capitalized. So I back the thought of this letter I must have accidentally hit the 'Shift' key while typing again... I'm not. So I don't move the caps lock... no luck. It takes a return back a space behind the letter, I'm changing character before the character space will allow a lowercase to appear.

    This behavior started after upgrading to iOS 9.2 (and I use a Smart keyboard). I already checked and turned off "Auto-capitalisation" and "AutoCorrect". At this point, I can't think of another setting that could consistently produce this behavior. All the world experienced and/or sounds like a bug?

    Just an update so it doesn't matter which allows to diagnose a problem, this bug does not happen in mailboxes mailbox for these forums (such as the boxes provided to type your answers in), but it does in native applications.

  • Apple TV 9.2 using the keyboard to type the first few letters in library home sharing

    Hello community,

    Someone managed to use the keyboard to type the first letters of a movie/tv/music show in their home sharing library?

    I was able to do this on the old ATV but can't make it work on the new ATV.

    To explain more in detail - the reason why I want to do it is to spend in that capacity that I'm looking rather than slowly scroll down the list of titles. It is a useful time saver.

  • can not type lower case letters to change the password, only uppercase letters come

    When I change a password and that you have to copy the letters and numbers, I can only type the capital letters, why don't appear lowercase?

    Hi Claudia,.

    I seriously doubt the problem has nothing to do with your keyboard itself (unless all the problems of cap occur in other places as well and on other websites and in internet like Notepad or Word or other programs), but is a matter of how things work and is designed by the designers of web sites on the sites you use.  What you are dealing with is called a Captcha in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA.  While this "capital" may occur on that specific page or site, I sincerely doubt it occurs on all sites that use such a feature - you are not using or never seen a site where it works differently.  Here's a number of things that may help to explain why you're facing what happens:

    1. the process is based on captures the difficult to read characters in a text box to verify that a person is on-line here and improve the safety of bots.  Different programs use different features and things to code differently.

    2. some Captchas are case-sensitive and others not (it depends on the product purchased or how it is programmed on the web site, or both).  Usually if it is case-sensitive I saw him say that this is the case in small print under the image.

    3. in programming, web page designers can usually decide whether to make case-sensitive entry (or just the sight of it appear uppercase, even if correctly entered in uppercase and lowercase letters), but often cannot control if or not the presented images show images that is case-sensitive.  If they want it is case-sensitive, then the text box must accept case-insensitive letters (even if they do not appear like this) or entry will be denied.

    4 if it is case sensitive, but the images are not, then a way around this problem from a design perspective is for box only accept letters in some cases and set the distinction uppercase / lowercase to only allow the entry of this case.  To make it easier on the user and prevent calls it does not work, they can control the input box, it allows only uppercase letters and define the uppercase distinction / lowercase to require that all capital letters.  So even if you can see the image in various cases, the box allow uppercase be entered which will allow the program to accept input.

    5. If it is not case sensitive, so they can always set the box to show only uppercase (for some reason any) which works perfectly for any deal is registered in this situation.

    6. If you are having problems with entry and suspect the acceptance of capital letters only is the cause, then try several images more before hitting the panic button.  Sometimes I find that I have to try 4 or 5 (they often have a switch button to choose an image that you think you can read correctly when the original or other choices are harder - I sometimes have trouble anyway even with my reading glasses and still need to try several times before it works)-then do not immediately assume that it is a rather simple design flaw being able to read the wretched things.  If some that there is a problem, try contacting the technical support web site support team.  They may be able to pass the image of recaptcha or reset your password (if you probably will not then be able to choose).

    7. This may be a function of the browser used.  Before assuming, is the keyboard (which is very likely if it occurs in a text area), try using another browser like some pages work differently with different browsers.  If you usually use IE, then download Firefox, Chrome or Opera and see if the same thing happens.  If so, it is probably not the browser.

    8. at this point, if you can not access due to it (forget the 'problem' if it allows you to enter and go beyond it despite showing all caps - it is not about you and is not a problem) and the website can not help, try using a different keyboard.  If it's a laptop, try a USB keyboard and see if that solves the problem or access the form from accessibility keyboard in Control Panel and see if it works.  If Yes, then you may have a keyboard problem.  First, update the driver of keyboard, firmware and/or software by the manufacturer of the computer or keyboard manufacturer, being sure to use the downloads for your machine and your version of Windows.  If this does not work, you may replace the keyboard, although it also works very well - but I doubt very much that will occur or prove to be the case, unless you have more problems associated with the keyboard that just that.

    Somewhere along the way, you will discover that this is not a problem or find the cause of the problem (it is really not that many options beyond what precedes that can cause this kind of thing and not be found using ideas, tests or methods above).  I'm almost ready to almost guarantee that you don't really have a problem, or one of them will be identity it and depending on what it is, give you an idea where to go next in terms of resolve.

    I hope this helps.  Again, I think you're very probably see how the site and not a real problem unless you can't access, after at least half a dozen tent (and perhaps someone else is who has best eyesight to try as well) and technical support of the site people confirm what is happening shouldn't happen.

    Good luck and best wishes.

  • Firefox does not appear on the start menu until I type the whole word in the search box of start.

    Original title:

    Search ranking

    I like to use research to launch programs - press the windows key, type "ste" press on enter and steam launches, for example.  However, for firefox, I have to type the whole word.  Is there a way to define the search so that when I type "fire" or even "tree" firefox is the first element of the research?

    Also of note – is Firefox used to come as the first item of research when I typed "fire", but now it is not even detected until I type the word in full. What could have changed to do this, and how I can solve this problem (for as far as I know that I didn't change the search options or other parameters that could lead to this).

  • Safe to remove the foreign file under \users?

    On my Win 7 Pro system, I created an administrator account on the computer (MyAdmin) in addition to limited accounts that are used on a daily basis.  For some reason, my C:\users folder has not only a MyAdmin folder (and files for other users), but a folder with the same name followed by a period and the name of the computer.

    My computer is called "Whale" and I have the following files in C:\Users

    Default (hidden folder)
    LimitedUserOne
    LimitedUserTwo
    Public
    MyAdmin
    MyAdmin.Whale

    In Control Panel / users, I see only MyAdmin (not MyAdmin.Whale).  Similarly, in the computer management / users, there is no list of MyAdmin.Whale

    Is it safe to delete C:\Users\MyAdmin.Whale and all of its subfolders?  Where it comes from in the first place?

    Here you go:

    1. Log in as MyAdmin.
    2. Click on the Globe to boot, type the three letters cmd and press ENTER.
    3. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
      Set userprofile
      (This shows you the folder for the active profile. Which one is?)
      dir/a "c:\Users\MyAdmin\ntuser.dat".
      dir/a "c:\Users\MyAdmin.Whale\ntuser.dat".
      (These commands will tell you when the profile folder last used)
      ren 'c:\Users\MyAdmin' MyAdmin.NotInUse
      (This command renames the MyAdmin folder to something else. It is an intermediate step and all safe. You can permanently delete the folder in two weeks if all goes well).
    Also - you burn and test a repair of Windows CD? If you have not then you must do it now, before you start playing with the system files. If you don't then will not be able to repair Windows in case he refuses to boot normally.

    Hello

    1. What is the number of brand and model of the laptop?
    2. are you having the problem with the keyboard while using applications or with a particular application?
    3. were there any changes made on the computer before this problem?

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists I suggest to start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check whether you are faced with the same question. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode with networking you perform the clean boot to find what service or startup item is causing the problem.

    Step 1:
    Start the computer using safe mode with networking.

    (a) remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.

    (b) If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts.

    (c) you must press F8 before the Windows logo appears.

    (d) if the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    (e) on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select the desired mode safe mode with networking option and press enter.

    (f) sign in your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

    Reference: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:
    If the issue happen not in Mode safe mode with networking, try to set up your computer in a clean boot state and check to see if the same problem happens.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.
