Lost keyboard symbols

Hello

My laptop is HP Pavilion G6-2302ax that i purchaced a few days before. The laptop is fine except a few typos. When I type '@' "(inverted coma) symbol gets typed and vice versa. The hash key is also misspelled as a symbol of "pound". My PC has 8 windows pre installed. There is no driver for this particular laptop model for download on the official site of HP. Then download and reinstall the updated drivers is also not possible. There is no virus attack, as I scanned the whole system with symantec antivirus. Widows 8 is also updated. If one can provide useful information. Help, please.

Hello dipuab,

I see you have keyboard problems on your new computer from HP.

I think the issue may have to do with the keyboard. I have a video here that will show you how to check and change the keyboard language settings.

Follow the steps in the video and let me know what happens.

  • Keyboard lost Sterling symbol! __

    I recently had to reinstall Vista after a big problem.  Everything's fine now except that the keyboard is more a symbol of Sterling available and the @ and "have changed places.  I inserted the sterling symbol of symbols to work on the 'control' and '2', which is the right word, but it will not work on Excel or Hotmail.  Why the keys changed after reinstalling, and how can I fix this?

    Thank you very much

    You are installing from another version or a version of Vista?  It is maybe you have the wrong keyboard. Go to start / Control Panel / regional and Language Options / keyboards and languages / keyboards change / make sure that the selection is correct for your location (and it includes the option of keyboard).  If this is not the case, check to see if your location is added.  If not, then add your location and do not forget to select the keyboard can change the default location to your location and click OK.  The keyboard should now work as expected (if I do not understand the @ and "switch in any language).  If this does not work, read on.

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldget the drivers, firmware or software at the keyboard and everything you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Install the firmware and/or software by following the instructions.

    I hope this helps.  Keep me in the loop.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro M10 keyboard symbol Transposition in MS products

    I just had my hard drive replaced and now a lot of symbols e.g. physical keyboard @£ ' # are converted when I type in MS Word and other MS products, BUT this IS NOT the case when I type here.» Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Hello

    Do you have the same keyboard layout that you had before the replacement?
    Generally, all signs can be converted due to bad keyboard or keyboard wrong language settings.

    Go to the regional & language options in the control panel.
    He chose the language and details tab.
    Now you should see the default input language and keyboard settings.
    Change to the right of your keyboard

    For example: maybe you have a UK keyboard and the settings are in the United States.

  • HP Pavilion Elite keyboard symbols stop working correctly

    Pretty weird, but incredibly annoying problem!  The hard drive on my HP Pavilion crashed a month or there while it was still under warranty so I took it in the Future Shop to fix.  When I got it after they have installed a new hard drive for some of the keys on the keyboard displays stop symbols appropriate after a few minutes (in particular the []------'; keys), among other problems.   It drives me crazy because I'm a writer and I use these keys all the time.  It is not only on documents Word - it's also in emails, so I know that it is not only a word problem, or it least it seems to be, but generally it doesn't seem to be mainly in Word and emails.  I had to reinstall all my programs when I got the computer back, so I'm also working with a new installation of Word.  I tried all the regular solutions - check the settings of keyboard and the region etc.  All seem good.

    The HP now displays caution Microsoft 7 isn't a real construction.  Since Windows OEM, I don't have a disk for it.  I tried to solve this problem and read somewhere that Microsoft caused diabolically things to stop working after a while if the generation is not authentic.

    Maybe the keyboard problem related to this?  I'm willing to spend a little money, to buy a new keyboard, all it takes to fix.  I'll be a little PO would be if I have to buy another copy of Windows, but less expensive than buying a new computer!

    I hesitate to take over the computer at Future Shop because I already did once, and they had no solution.  Very very bad service.  I'll be wary of their warranty service in the future.  If I take to anyone, it will be my computer guy of reliable neighborhood - but it does of course.

    Any suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

  • Disorder of keyboard symbols

    Hi, I have to save my computer and do a reinstall because of promblems I had. Promblems is now fixed, but now my keyboard behaves not well IE if I prould SPE the shift key and press the number 2 should I get "but I get the symbol @!"

    Just curious...
    I use a Dell laptop in my keyboard, the number 2 button also shows the symbol of the letter 2 @.
    So if I SHIFT + 2 key, I get @.

    What are displayed on your key number 2?
    Your kyboard layout is different?

    I have the same thing you do.
    But I'm in the USA, I have a U.S. keyboard, and my software is configured to
    a U.S. keyboard.

    You, apparently, are the United Kingdom (or countries with the same
    (keyboard), have a UK keyboard, but can also be programmed to a U.S. keyboard.

    You must change the setting. Go to the control panel
    | Region and language. Click the keyboards and languages tab and then
    Change keyboards. Choose the correct keyboard (UK).

  • touch screen keyboard symbols does not properly

    I bought recently an Asus transformer convertible portable book, which features a touchscreen removable "tablet" next to the keyboard. Most of the time I just use the screen without the keyboard as I have the touchscreen keyboard. I have windows 8 is installed.

    The problem is that no matter when try to use the keyboard section and press a key, it acts as a regular keyboard that requires shift for me to press a button to get some symbols. Such as SHIFT, press 1 to get! and 2 to get @ etc.

    This is a problem because there no way for me to 'shift' then that in this section, which means I have no way to use the majority of the symbols, unless I was to give the keyboard, which I won't do. It's the same with the? on the main screen to give me a / instead.

    Someone else has this problem as well? Becomes more and more frustrating.

    I searched for answers, the closest, I had was that it could be the UK keyboard, which is not, as I discovered, I have the English (Canada), I selected when setting up my computer.

    The keyboard I used was the touch keyboard, similar to that on the picture of this Article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/using-touch-keyboard

    I tried also a lot of different things that I could think of to try to make it work, such as the SHIFT key, and then selecting the specific symbol, neither of which worked, moving to the symbols section and pressing one and also hold out the number or symbol that coincides with it.

    Honestly I don't know what happened, but it seemed to have fixed itself after my computer up to date a little after I posted this. which is always strange, because it was updated several times before and the problem remains.

    IM praying that the problem does not return, but I'm not keeping my hopes.

  • First time CC lost keyboard

    Hey there adobe.

    I've been running CC now for about a year.  Really didn't do anything differently today than any other day.

    Adobe did not plant, but suddenly lost all my custom keyboard commands.  I had synced them on the cloud.  So well, I synchronized and restarted and they were gone.

    I clicked on the download sync, not download synchronization.

    I seriously doubt it's my computer, but it's extremely aggravating now having to rebuild.  I saved off the coast of the cloud of some previous layouts, but they are not connected correctly.

    Can you give me the way that the page should be stored?  This doesn't seem to work.Screen Shot 2015-07-09 at 5.40.46 PM.png

    Fortunately, I sent my keyboard to me.  It is always good to keep a real layout somewhere, I guess.

    This is where it goes.

  • Enter keyboard symbol percentage

    How can I enter a % (percent sign) on the numeric keypad on an all-in-one Deskjet 4645?

    The WiFi network that I am trying to connect to requires a % (percent sign)

    Hello Arthur_B-ZA,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you are trying to enter a percentage symbol when you configure your network wireless using the Deskjet 4645. I will do my best to help you! Unfortunately, you can not press this symbol on your printer. I'll give three methods to connect to this printer:

    You can install this software on your computer, then use HP auto connect wireless:

    1. When you install the software, select the wireless connection
    2. Select Yes, send my wireless to the printer settings , and then click Next .
    3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation of the software and the printer wireless network.

    You can install the software using a USB cable, and then convert USB wireless:

    1. During the installation of the software, select USB connection
    2. Once the software is finished, follow this document to Convert USB to connect wireless HP

    You can change the password wireless which is compatible with the symbols of printers, and then use the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    Please post your results, I will be looking forward to hear from your part, have a great day!

  • symbols and puntuation of the keyboard do not work where they are supposed to

    I have a sony laptop that came with a QWERTY keyboard. symbols and punctuation printed on most of the keys do not function, they have been defined to do. Is there any software to correct this. No matter who else if not encountered this problem with sony or other computers?

    Go to control panel, region & language, change keyboards, keyboards & languages, tab general, select the correct keyboard or click Add... & first select it in the list [there is a preview button that can help you decide what keyboard to select].

    Then go to the Panel control, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, language bar tab and, if you regularly change language settings, make the hidden language bar. I think you have touched a keyboard shortcut that has hired it & changed the region / language settings and therefore caused this problem.

    Then go to control panel, region, language, keyboards & languages, change keyboards, advanced settings tab key where you can see the key sequence of shortened which probably you entered this problem by chance. You will also see the sequence of modifier keys that you want to change by clicking on the button sequence of modifier keys and by setting the input language switch & switch keyboard to not [when I changed them, I had to define not entitled for the switch input language and accept change, and then return to the dialog box to set no affect for the keyboard switch setting].
