Lot of keyboard to the login screen

Hi, I have a really weird problem.

The Swiss German keyboard layout is different from the provision of the United States, for example 'z' and 'y' are reversed. My user password contained a 'z', assume that it is "Gazebo.1".

When I try to connect with "Gazebo.1", I get an error message. However, when I login with "Gayebo.1", it works. Subsequently, everything is in Switzerland-German, user interface, keyboard, etc. I don't even have the United States available in the Control Panel keyboard layout.

I had the problem that the login screen was in English, for example, I saw 'Guest user' instead of the German word "Gastbenutzer". I was able to change it with the command "sudo languagesetup". I guess I should do something similar to change the keyboard layout of startup.

All advice what to do?

  • Mouse and keyboard not working only not to the login screen

    Hi, I was recently infected with Antispyware Soft virus. In my attempt to remove it, my screen went black, so I had to restart my computer. Entering my login screen, I was unable to connect because my keyboard and mouse no longer works. I tried to start the safe mode too and they still do not work on the login screen. However, they work at the start of the BIOS. I looked around, but I couldn't find any option for Legacy USB drivers. I went to a few USB option and select [Enabled] and it still doesn't work to the login screen. I have no PS2 port, so I can't try it. I was also able to use my mouse and keyboard when you attempt a repair of the system to do a system restore, but that solves nothing. I am at a loss what to do. I hope someone is late, as I'll be gone tomorrow/more day late today. I am writing a computer laptop and unable to remember any care my office except the fact, it's Windows Vista.

  • Keyboard & mouse not working not not at the login screen.

    I have Windows7 64 bit installed on my machine. I can't use my keyboard and USB mouse to the login screen. I tried to boot the system in safe mode, but I am facing the same problem here. When the login screen if poster my keyboard freezes and if I press num lock does nothing. My mouse stops on the login screen. I don't want to reinstall windows as it will scan all the settings I have on my machine. Is it possible to solve the problem without having to re - install windows. I tried to fix the problem using my installation disc, but I couldn't find the solution.

    Hi Philippe,.

    I suggest you to disable and re-enable the USB controller and check if it helps.

    Use Device Manager to disable and re-enable all the USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.
     
    To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
    a. Click Start, type Manager of devices in the search box of start and press ENTER.
    b. expand Bus USB controllers.
    Note that you have to scroll down to find this point.
    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.
    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.
    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.
    f. check the USB device to see if it works.
     
    Also, try updating the chipset drivers on the computer manufacturer site.
     
    Thank you.
  • How can I get an on-screen keyboard appears automatically in the login screen of Windows 7 Home Premium?

    I built my computer as a HTPC, so there is no physical keyboard.  The only physical input device is a wireless mouse that I use to click on the password when connecting.  However, to access the on-screen keyboard to enter the password, I have to click on the icon of accessibility at the bottom left, and then check the keyboard and then click OK.  Is it possible to have the onscreen keyboard displayed automatically or at least didn't have only a click of the mouse away as in the following image: http://george.insideiphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Viliv-X70-EX1.jpg.

    I found the solution I was looking for, and he generates exactly the keyboard as in the screenshot I provided above.

    I downloaded the latest driver for Wacom Bamboo tablet and installed on my computer.  I have no tablet so I was afraid that the driver installation would fail but he completed without incident.  A check of the watch workstation settings entry Pen and Touch is now available.  I then rebooted and when the login screen appeared, I clicked on the my account button that produced not only the expected password entry field, but also an icon at the bottom left to the on screen keyboard.  Clicking on it causes a keyboard integrated in the context in which appear.  It is not as large as the on-screen keyboard in Windows 7 I used initially and certainly not as big as in the screenshot (I'm looking at a 1920 by 1080 screen) but it's good enough.

  • Keyboard not working on Lenovo Windows laptop and stuck on the login screen

    I have a Lenovo WIndows 8 20157 laptop, the keyboard no longer works someday so I restored it.  At that time, I could use an external keyboard.  When the system rebooted, it got to the login screen and will not work.  The screen keyboard and the external keyboard does not work.  The only thing that happens when I use a keyboard (external to the screen, laptop), is that if I hit the button S power options developed.  I can not connect and I can't run it in safe mode.  Already, I have removed the battery and held down the power button, which has not changed anything.

    I took it for someone who told me to restore to factory settings and there are drop down menu in the corner of the login screen, but sometimes the mouse works and sometimes it isn't.  For example at the moment I can't open easy access menu to open the keyboard screen, but sometimes I can't.  Any ideas?

    Hi Jennifer,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    According to the request, you have problems with the keyboard on your Lenovo laptop.

    As you have made a number of steps to address this issue including restoration to factory settings, I feel that this could be a hardware problem, so at this point in time that it would be better you contact Lenovo for additional troubleshooting support.

  • L540: password accepted anywhere but the login screen

    Hello!

    I was happily using the sensor of fingerprint on my L540 for awhile, until what a few months ago, I reinstalled Windows 7 (Professional, x 64). After setting up everything, and by installing drivers Lenovo, I noticed this problem:

    When I start the laptop and you type the password, it will accept it.* but if I open the dialog to change, Windows will claim that the password that I type is wrong. I tried several times, also copy - paste where she had changed the layout of the keyboard, but just, he does not accept the password that works on the logon screen.
    The same thing happens when I close the laptop and it goes into sleep mode, and then I try to connect again. In this case the only thing that helps is to extinguish completely the laptop and restart.

    For a while it would not also accept the password on the login screen * front * password indication was shown. Of course maybe I just typed it, but it happened very regularly for 1-2 weeks or more. At one point that specific question came not, without changing me anything.

    In short, I can't set up the fingerprint sensor because I have to type the password, and I can't change it to something easier. This particular password wasn't supposed to be typed much. I trusted that the fingerprint sensor would work.

    I thought that it might be caused by one of the drivers, given that the problem started happening immediately, but only a few days after that I want to install Windows. (My memory is a bit blurry, sorry).
    Then I threw most of the drivers I downloaded manually (especially the keyboard driver and fingerprints) and installed a package that installs drivers automatically, but that has not changed anything.

    I have no idea if this would be a problem of Lenovo or a Windows problem. Can you give me an idea where to go with this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Easiest thing would be just to use the new account. But what about the why, that's happened, I don't really know why. =/

  • Brand-new Satellite L300 stuck on the login screen

    Hi all
    I'm new and a little bit of a technophobe - hope you can help.

    We have bought a new laptop a few weeks ago and set it all. Seemed easy enough - is installed after turning on, logged in with the password network and we were away.

    We have 2 connections A and B put in place in this regard. My partner turned on and it came with the connection form A and B with 2 icons - he went to a click sound and he did not. No mouse is attached, we use the keyboard mouse. Tried rebooting with the button, but it's the same thing. I tried again and it has gone through a process and offered safe mode and normal mode, I tried separately on both and she returned to the login screen and click has failed.

    It is now stuck on the battery mode, because we can't get past this screen and it to run properly. Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much.

    Would it be possible that you have disabled the touchpad accidentally and therefore you couldn't t access the Win Vista ;)?
    Please note that you can enable and disable the touchpad by using the FN + F9 key combination

  • Help: Children are without going through the login screen

    My children understand how to access my account on my Macbook without having to type in the username and password.  Thus, for example, if my Macbook is on the login screen, they will be the following: (1) button press F1 to darken the screen. (2) press the key F5 to switch off the light on the keyboard. (3) press the power for a few seconds turn the computer off. (4) press the power button to turn on the computer. and then (5) press and hold the power button when the Apple icon and the status bar.  After a few seconds, they have access to my account as if they had signed using my login credentials.

    It becomes very annoying, because they have access to my laptop when I'm not there and I'm starting to lose control over the use of my own computer.  My question is: is it possible that I can keep my kids to connect to my computer this way and make sure my account access cannot be obtained by entering the appropriate user name and password?

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas/instructions you may have.

    "is it possible that I can keep my kids to connect to my computer this way and ensure access to my account can be obtained by entering the appropriate user name and password?"

    Yes it is.

    Open System Preferences > users and groups , and then select the password tab and select the Admin account on the left.

    Then click on: Connection Options (you will be prompted for your admin password)

    Now click on the the automatic connection: pop up menu and then select disabled.

    At this point, it may be advisable to change your admin password.

    With your administrator account selected in users and groups, click change password

  • Blue screen in Vista 7 just after the login screen

    We get a blue error screen 7th on Vista 64-bit SP1 right after the login screen appears.  The blue screen immediately goes, and system restarts (or sometimes just hangs).  I was not able to find the codes of the 7th in the research:

    (took a picture of the screen...)

    STOP: 0x0000007E (oxFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80002325C87, 0xFFFFFA60165BE3E8, 0xFFFFFA60165BDDC0)

    I am able to boot in safe mode.  Do you have a chkdsk C: /F and which did not help.  Do you have a repair system using the Vista startup disk and that did not help.   Went to safe mode and MSCONFIG and position the clean boot and that did not help.  I tried to update to SP2 and unable to complete safe mode.

    The ideas and the sage advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Bug Check 0x7E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    Bug SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED control has a value of 0x0000007E. This bug check indicates that a system thread threw an exception that the error handler did not.

    Important info if you received a STOP Code

    If you received a blue error screen, or a stop code, the computer stopped abruptly to protect against data loss. A hardware device, its driver or software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows is shipped with your computer, contact your computer manufacturer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact information for Microsoft or the manufacturer of your computer, Contact Support.

    If you have experience with computers and try to recover from this error, follow the steps in the Microsoft article solution STOP (blue screen) errors in Windows.

    These actions could prevent a mistake like this does not happen:

    1. Download and install updates for your computer from Windows Update device drivers.
    2. Scan your computer for computer viruses.
    3. Check your hard drive for errors.

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED parameters

    CAUSE

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
    interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0 x 80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.

    • 0 x 80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERTION was met when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
    the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
    • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
    (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
    has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
    Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
    • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
    • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
    • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
    or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
    sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
    Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
    in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
    control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
    by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
    device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
    Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
    For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
    Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
    BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
    space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
    the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
    contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
    free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

  • Windows does not load the login screen

    Hello. I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop and when I boot it will not go to the login screen. The screen turns black with only the cursor showing. I also want to add that my computer did the same thing when trying to enter in safe mode. I don't have a disc of resettlement. Please help I need to access important information.

    1 you need to borrow an installation disc or a system repair disc [32-bit if yours is 32-bit, 64-bit, one if yours is 64-bit].  There is nothing that you can do without one of them.  Buy an installation disc if necessary - see Amazon reinstallation discs and note that these are inexpensive because you pay only one disk not a license.

    2. start the computer from the disk borrowed or purchased.

    3. restart normally and the problem should be gone.  The problem could never happen again.  There are other details of this in a computer running that Windows 7 does not start when force you the computer to shut down.

    4 once you are up and running then consider the steps recommended in why is my screen black when I start Windows 7 to reduce the risk of a recurrence.

    5 you can also search this forum for a black cursor screen as there is a lot of discussion on this issue.

  • touchpad does not show what keys are used on the login screen

    Have a new toughbook of Panasonic CF - H2.  Windows 7. On the login screen of the touch screen keyboard has black keys with white numbers. When you type the password it does not show what keys are be depressed. Once logged in the change of keyboard color to be more transparent and you can see the key used during typing.  Is it a setting in the keyboard that can be changed or is it a thing of security?

    Thank you

    This is for safety.  Starting with Windows 8, it became optional and you can choose if you want to see it or not.

  • Why does the login screen Windows continue reappear on my monitor?

    I use Windows 7 Pro.  Until a few months ago, I couldn't leave my desktop PC on overnight.  As soon as I sat down and moved the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard, my screen saver would disappear and I could go right to work.  It was great!  Several months ago, a problem started that I describe.

    Now, when I walk away from my PC for a few hours and return, I see the Windows login screen.   It is not all the time, but it produces most of the time.   My first step in tackling the problem was to check the settings of the screen Setter.  The bomber of the screen ("ribbons") is supposed to go after 12 minutes of inactivity.

    There is a box to the right of this setting that says 'On Resume, display the login screen'.  This box is averified.

    Then I adjusted to High Performance power settings.  PC display is Never set for when to turn off the screen and also never to when putting the computer to sleep.   I then changed the advanced power settings to try to remedy the problem.  I made sure the following settings are the following:

    High Performance requires no password on wake up.

    Turn off the hard drive at the end of 800 minutes

    The sleep settings:

    Sleep after = never

    Allow hybrid sleep = Off

    Hibernate after = never

    Enable timers wake = Disable

    Turn off the display = never

    Power button: Sleep button Action = Nothing

    For security reasons, I usually use my PC as a standard user.  But the login screen Windows guard reappear after I leave my PC for a while if I run as a limited user or administrator of the master.

    Can you give me some additional ideas on what I can do to remove the login screen Windows reappear after I leave my PC?
