My keyboard keeps typing symbols

Whenever I have started typing on my keyboard symbols are typed instead of the United States keyboard. I already checked linguistic region and it's all good. I have to use my guest account because I can not connect.

Your alt/option key could be stuck?

  • Keys on the keyboard in Tecra A2 typing symbols hurt?

    Hello

    My apologies for what is probably a stupid question.
    I have a Tecra A2 and run XP proffesional.
    Suddenly some of the key type different symbols than those indicated on the keys.
    Pleeeeze tell me how to reset the default keyboard.

    With our thanks, Danny.

    Hi mate,

    It could be that you have a bad keyboard map. A keyboard map is like a project for your hardware that identfies which tank is displayed when you press a key on your keyboard.
    A language that you use so if the symbols on the screen do not correspond to the entrance of your typing, then it could be that a bad keyboard map is defined depending on the keyboard maps.

    In this case, you will need to define another language of keyboard.

    To change the keyboard mapping, you must proceed as follows:
    Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> regional and language options-> click the "Languages" tab--> details-> choose your input language that matches your keyboard

    Good luck and good weekend

  • T430S keyboard keeps 'jump' when entering?

    I have a T430s and I like it so far, except a negative thing is that it keeps 'jump' around each time I type. During typing, at random times that he'll jump whenever the cursor is placed at the time, often in the middle of a word I had already typed previously. (He did 4 times while typing this message) Obviously, this makes very annoying to have to repeat a word or phrase over and over again. I certainly don't type very fast and try to be careful with my hand placement, but like a normal adult male size, is possible that the new keyboard Chiclet makes it easier to my fingers or palm to inadvertently move or tap on the touchpad that is causing this problem? Or is it a software defect?

    It's my second Thinkpad and I've never had this problem before. Please advise! Thank you.

    Specifications: Lenovo T430s, Windows 7 family

    Check under the touchpad properties, look at Smart Settings/Palm CONTROL

  • 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.

  • Keyboard, keeping for Satellite M30X clip

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement retaining clip for a laptop keyboard? Its a small band of white plastic that fits into the connector of the keyboard ribbon cable to keep in place. It has two legs tiny ends which locate in the connector to secure it but one of my friends broke (due to having to have the socket repaired several times - it's a design on the M30X error).

    Also, I tried I said I want to buy a motherboard full, because the clip is not available separately, but that seems a little stupid - the part cost probably less than a can of coke on his own and I assumed it would be something that is easily damaged or lost if repairs are carried out.

    See you soon,.

  • Satellite 4080 - keys keyboard not typing letters, but orders!

    I spilt a drink on my 7 year specifications, and today the G, H and other keys give me help commands, spell check etc instead of just typing letters! Someone has already encountered this problem and find out what can be done to solve? I was wondering whether to uninstall the driver and then reinstall? Any help is very appreciated.

    Don t think that reinstalling the driver will solve this problem.
    Is that the operating system uses Microsoft windows to address own pilots.

    I recommend the removal of the keyboard to the device and try to check the keyboard cable connection. Try to clean the connectors.
    But be careful. If you have no experience in these procedures, you must contact technicians!

  • Computer laptop Tecra M5 keeps typing iiiii without obvious reason

    Hello

    Has started last night, my 1 year 2 months old M5 suddenly started typing iiiii, almost as if the key had stuck to the bottom, but it is not physically stuck (that I can see). Problem persists even after a reboot. I hope it's just a 'stuck' key Anyone who has experienced / heard of this and can it be erased with a jet of air or is cleaning a keyboard off job (or even something more sinister like a virus checkers and firewalls to date and assets so)? Laptop is running XP.

    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    One of my friends was another strange question.
    The cursor jumped all the time and it was not possible to use the keyboard and the touchpad.
    Finally, the keyboard has been replaced and this solved the problem.

    I guess you keyboard malfunctions and you should contact some ASP technicians for assistance. If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free!

    Good bye
