Numbers to activate involuntarily shortcut keys

All of a sudden my digital buttons (on the keyboard, not the numeric keypad) Act as shortcut keys. And it's happening in all of my applications - Word, Outlook and database pgms., etc.. In Word, I could type 2, and the window opens asking if I want to send as an attachment pdf. A 4 me upset keytabs, 5 opens the restore, menu etc., 6 the menu style, etc. In Outlook, this is the same thing: 6 gets me a Properties screen. 2 seems to repeat the line that I was typing. I hope you get the picture. It is on a desktop computer, so there is no touchpad. It seems to happen more often when there is a / or. before or after the number (or some other special characters.) I have to type Esc to stop the shortcut and actually get a number type. I am running on Windows 7. I tried to unplug the keyboard and reinstall the driver. Anyone have any ideas? It drives me crazy.

Hello

Since then, the screen keyboard on works fine, the problem may be with the keyboard.

Let's try to run the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting.

Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

1. open Control Panel

2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Keyboard 'walks' by the numbers 0-9 when trying to use the shortcut keys in the BACK of the programs.

    I am running windows XP that is completely up to date. When DOS programs based in progress such as Blender the keyboard shortcut keys no longer work, for example, R to rotate, S for the scale. All character keys just to go to 0-9 in the order. This also happens when I use an input box, I try and enter a number, but he recorded just where the number sequence was stopped.

    I have actually been sent here:
    http://blenderartists.org/Forum/showthread.php?219972-whole-keyboard-quot-marchs-quot-through-numbers-0-9-when-typiing-into-an-input-box.&highlight=

    They were very useful, but it points to an error in the operating system instead of a software error.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    The Blender Forum figured it out for me. It ends up being the constant guard of Comcast. I didn't think that I had the problem right after that I installed. What's funny, is that the uninstall survey had this problem listed in their "why did you uninstall constant guard ', looks as if it's in the investigation, they must be hard at work to fix.

    Well thank you for the insight and ideas on how to solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

The first problem was that the wireless card has not been installed, but I go to the Toshiba website and download the new one, next to this i can not activate the map with the fn + f8 key, it's the only way to activate the card.

    I already downloaded some drivers and utilities and I can not activate the card, the shortcut key does not work and there is not another switch, software does not work either

    Any help will be welcome
    Thank you

    Hello

    Hmm. Win 7 drivers are not yet out, but I found some beta readers on the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Maybe you will find some Win 7 drivers for series L500/505

    Otherwise I would recommend you to check if you can activate the WLan in Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card

    There are a few additional options, that maybe the WiFi we / off would be there also.

  • Shortcut keys work not

    Greetings

    Computer of my wife's an A200-JA1, running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit, but the same problem existed in Windows Vista, this isn't a problem to upgrade. If you drag the mouse to the top of the screen, you get the menu to access the shortcut keys, but pressing on Fn + F__ does not work with the function keys. This is more important if she forgets her mouse at home - it leaves the default disabled trackpad, but without having a mouse to access the menu of trackpad at the top of the screen, it cannot activate the trackpad by pressing Fn + F9. It does not work. I tried several other - Fn + F6 or F7 to decrease/increase brightness, Fn + F5 to change the external display, etc., but none of them work.

    There is a small green light between the F10 key and keys 9/0 below and when you press the Fn key on the keyboard, this little button (which looks like four arrows pointing outward) turns on, but that's all.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Mike.

    P.S. somehow and we are not sure of the key combination, but she sometimes keyboard begins to display by using the characters 'red '. For example, when pressing SHIFT + / instead of get a? She'll have an E instead. The only way to reset seems to be rebooting the computer.

  • Disable shortcut keys

    Hi Ppl,

    I am change the complete user interface of recommended LabVIEW code. I'm not able to locate the part of the code that activates the shortcut like Ctrl + S, Ctrl + O keys.

    I disabled the menu properties VI bar. But I always find the shortcuts to work.

    Thank you

    Hi Ray,

    I found the place to toggle shortcut keys. The full recommended user interface code LabVIEW, it is an event of activation of the menu. Inside of the occurrence of the event, the menu bar is built when the user clicks on the menu. While inserting menu items, hot keys are also specified. So, if we don't specify keys shortcut for the menu item and there is no other control connected to that particular command in the façade, this shortcut shortcut key won't work. That's what I inferred from my experiences.

    Thank you

  • HP 240 G3: Not able to activate keyboard shortcuts

    I'm not able to activate the shortcut for brightness and volume keys in my notebook. Can you please suggest me a driver. Help, please.

    I think that you do not install the graphics driver.

    Install this driver, reboot and see if you can change the brightness and screen resolution.

    After installing the graphics driver, see if this hotkey software gets the rest of Fn keys to work.

    1. click on the Start button and in the box, type search: slui.exe 4

    2. press the Enter key on your keyboard.

  • How to use a keyword in pictures shortcut key

    I've added keywords in Photos using the "keywords Manager» I selected the "Edit keywords" button and then assigned shortcuts to these keywords. For example, given two keywords (Tom, Joe) I added the '1' Tom key and '2' for Joe key. How I can use these shortcut keys to assign keywords to pictures? Help system Photos was of course worthless as long as all the apples help is. I don't understand how you can ad contribute to an application and leave out half the menu items. Apple is terrible!

    The key word handle must be opened for simple working shortcuts.  You can simply move the side of the road and use shortcuts to apply a keyword to the selected photos.
