No, there is nothing wrong with the computer and there is nothing wrong
with the keyboard. You are not using the correct for software keyboard
your keyboard. You have a UK keyboard, but are configured to use the United States
the keyboard layout.

To change it, go to control panel | Region and language, then click on the
Keyboard and languages tab. Then click on change keyboards... and choose
one that suits you.

  • Microsoft Wireless mouse not working not properly in Excel.

    Original title: using the buttons of foam in Excell

    Reference: Microsoft Wireless 5000 foam

    I use the foam buttons in Excel to navigate backward/forward "TABs". It is very useful and is in fact the reason to get a 2 buttons and scroll mouse 4-way.

    BUT... it does not work with this Wireless foam 5000. He has worked with my old Logitech... that would mean Microsoft foams are not completely compatible with Microsoft Software?...

    Any idea?

    It seems that there are some 8.2 updated drivers for the mouse on the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 Technical Support page.  It might be useful to install to see if it solves the problem.

  • Mouse Microsoft Works does not correctly

    I remember an update by Microsoft for my optical USB mouse from Microsoft. Shortly after this automatic update, my mouse has stopped working properly. If the mouse pointer is still on any object, the click is ignored until you move the mouse, and then click. There was another update to my windows 7 64 busyness that had something to do with windows 8 in compatibility. I believe that it is this update that caused the mouse click when the mouse is always somewhere, including that it causes a new page of text question. Can someone tell me what update compatibility win7 and win 8 work together?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    This problem can be caused due to the conflict between the hardware of the mouse with the computer.

    1. What is the Microsoft mouse model number?

  • does not correctly typed text

    I recently installed Illustrator CS5. I had 2 before CS. Everything was fine for about 3 weeks. One day the text started to type vertically upwards. If I changed the text to type vertically, slap it horizontially but the letters are end-to-end not side by side. In addition, my arrows malfunction. My right arrow move an object up and my left arrow moves the object down. Everything else works fine.

    I reloaded the program on the existing program, but that did not help. I'm afraid if I deleat CS5 and install from sratch that it will count as another license.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Take a look at general preferences.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Ball control and keys doesn't work does not correctly!

    I have the curve 8330 and when I put in my unlock code and press the trackball, it acts as if im entering additional keys. When I finally get into the phone and try to press on the trackball, in its action, as if I am pressing the asterisk key. It does not correctly read the keys and is to register them as another key! Help pleaaase!

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.

    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered.

    Really, it is more common than you think.

    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.

    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)

    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).

    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    • On top of all heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor

  • Windows 7 and Microsoft Wireless natural Multimedia keyboard

    I have a Dell Studio XPS 435 t 64-bit computer using Windows 7 Home Premium.  I recently joined my natural Microsoft Wireless Multimedia keyboard with the usb key.  The keyboard works fine, except for the three buttons at the top left (My Documents, my pictures, and my music).  The close session button also does not work.  When I press on them, nothing happens.  On my old computer using Windows XP Multimedia, top left buttons open the corresponding files.

    I have two questions.  First of all, is there anything I can do to get these four buttons to work once more?  And secondly, is there a way to reallocate what happens when I press the buttons?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Microsoft wireless mouse stopped after 6 months of work: happened twice in two days

    Windows 7 x 64. I've had the system for 6 months. Yesterday did this problem start happening.
    The Microsoft wireless mouse pointer freezes in the middle of the screen (but my wireless keyboard IOGear, that I had also six months, still works fine and the computer itself is not suspended but is still running fine - it's not a blocking system general but isolated on the mouse wireless device and related things).
    I tried the following:
    1. Changing the battery on the mouse (ensuring battery was good, of course).
    2. People with disabilities/re-enabled the HID device.
    3. Deleted then recreated the HID device.
    4. Searched updated drivers (Windows reports mine are up to date)
    5. Remove and reinsert the battery.
    6. Stop and restart.
    7. Remove and reinsert the battery.
    Finally yesterday, after reinserting the battery after a reboot, the mouse is back to life. However, today the same problem happened again. I tried it again, but nothing helped. I also downloaded the new Bluetooth drivers on the ASUS site and install them.  Restarted.  No joy.
    BTW, Windows always reports the pointing HID device and Microsoft Wireless dongle work correctly, even if the mouse pointer is frozen in the middle of the screen.
     

    Hello

    As the mouse does not work on another computer, please replace the mouse.

  • Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard does not completely work in Vista

    I have the MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 installed on my PC.

    I recently had a few separate issues with my computer and technology at Geek Squad did some work cleaning on my PC for best performance and to get rid of a bad program.  I am running Vista SP2.

    On my keyboard, there are a series of buttons on the top which opens to different folders, or programs.  I had to open Excel and open Word.  The others are default Media Player, email, IE 8, My Documents and my pictures.  Everything worked correctly and opened the program folder / to, before cleaning.  Now mail, IE 8, and Media Player buttons still work, but others did not.  However if I open the Microsoft Keyboard program buttons become functional and remain so until I restart the computer. The keyboard works fine otherwise.  Y at - it a boot option which can have been withdrawn inadvertently during the cleaning process, which is the cause and if so how can I have reconstitute?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi BCfromKY,

    To test the response of the keys on the keyboard, use the Microsoft keyboard Diagnostics (MS Key), a utility program that is included with the Microsoft IntelliType software. To use MS Key, follow these steps.

    Note the MS key utility is only supplied with the version of the Microsoft IntelliType 1.1 and later versions. If you do not have Microsoft IntelliType installed, you can visit the following Microsoft Web site to install this software:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK)

    Start Microsoft Keyboard Diagnostics. To do this, use one of the following methods:

    a. Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories and then click Run.

    (b) in the Open box, type mskey and then click OK.

    c. If you get no response in MS Key on your keyboard, test the keyboard on another computer. If the keyboard does not work on another computer, see the "Références" section for more information on how to contact Microsoft Supplemental parts to get a replacement.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:
