My cat stepped on my laptop keyboard...

So, my kitten has decided that it would be a good idea to walk on my keyboard while I was on facebook, trying to chase the mouse on the screen.  She walked on the keys from F1 to F7, probably, and a window pops up with a 'yes' or 'No' down.  Before I could read, she went out on the key 'Y', select 'yes '.  Now, whenever I click on anything, anywhere, the line of 'capture' flashing appears, as if I had to type something.  I tried to push the new buttons, but nothing came.  It's really annoying me!  Help, please!

Sounds like your kitten turned on the keyboard navigation.  Click on tools, Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab.  Go to the accessibility and section if it is checked enable keyboard for new windows and tabs navigation... remove it.  It could cancel the effect of kitty!  :)

Good luck, Locutys of Borg

  • Laptop keyboard not working not

    My laptop keyboard finally quit, and I can not connect after that it resets the last time. The vowels are not working so I can't sign into Windows to my docs or anything like that!  What I have to reinstall Windows, and if so, will I lose all of my docs, photos, etc.?  My last backup was some time ago and I know that it doesn't have some of the things that I need.  For some reason any just vowels do not work, and I have vowels in my password.  Unfortunately, I just had the Mac and did not transfer all I need my laptop again.

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the laptop?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1
    I suggest to connect the external keyboard and try to connect.

  • How can I reactivate my laptop keyboard?

    Last night I've fortunately was typing away when - as I finished and I wanted to close - my cat walked on the laptop and he did an elegant turn on the keyboard. I tell him and shut down the computer. Today I find the keyboard does not work! Which can only happen when the cat was there, so it seems to me that it should be just as easy to reactivate with just a combo of a couple of key. If this is possible on the virtual keyboard, which I use now, rather laboriously...

    Thanks for the help,

    HI Maria,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. did you restart the computer and check?

    The "FN" key on a laptop keyboard called the "function" button It works similarly in the concept of the 'SHIFT' key in that if you hold down the "function" key on your keyboard, you can unlock the secondary exploitation of specific keys. These keys are usually located in the row of 'F' keys at the top of the keyboard.

    Browse the manual that came with your laptop to see what specific keys on your keyboard can be used in conjunction with the "fn". These keys will change according to the model of laptop you have, then it's a good idea to read about in your manual and see just what features your function key will unlock.

    Press and hold the "FN" button, usually located in the lower left corner on most portable keyboards.

    Let us know if you need assistance with any windows problem. We will be happy to help you.

  • Cursor and laptop keyboard is locked. Need to unlock the keyboard. (Windows 7)

    I need help here. My laptop keyboard and slider are locked. When I try to connect to windows I can't enter a PW or move the cursor, so I'm stuck. I rebooted several times and tried to get into safe mode, but can not enter a password, or move the slider. If I try to connect to Lenix from a CD that works very well. All the keys and the cursor work normally. It must be a Windows problem. Is there a code I can enter that unlocks the keyboard? I saw some comments about special codes that can be used to lock a keyboard and unlock keyboards. I use Windows 7... Thank you

    The problem has been resolved. I don't know how I got in the situation. The children were on my laptop, so who knows. The important thing is that I discovered how to solve this problem thanks to you.

    Here's what I did. I followed the link you provided and followed the steps in 'help of last - known good configuration' and it worked. Thank you very much. Here is the link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/using-last-known-good-configuration

    1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by clicking on the button start , by clicking on the arrow next to the button stop , then clicking on restart.
    1. Do one of the following:
    2. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by stopping and restarting your computer.

    • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start, and then press F8.

    1. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select last known good Configuration (Advanced), and then press ENTER.

    2. If your computer has multiple operating systems installed, use the arrow keys to select the operating system that you want to start using the last good known Configuration, and then press ENTER. Windows will then resume starting normally.
