Problem of keyboard 'and @ swapped.

I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.

My problem is that ' and @ are switched on my keyboard. " I tried to change to an American in UK available but it does not work.

I have a Dell Vostro
Any suggestions
Michael

Hey,.

I realize it is about 2 1/2 years out of date, but it's more for people who have a more specific problem.
My problem is I want to have defined American English my primary language that I'm Australian.

The way to solve the problem of page layout without changing your main language is:

1. go to your language settings in control panels

2. go in the options of your preferred languages

3. Add U.S. as the input method
4. voila!

Hope this help anyone with similar issues.

  • Pavilion: Pavilion x 360 problems of keyboard and screen

    I'm the unhappy owner of a x 360 Pavilion, prod. lol M9G20EA #UUW.

    Big questions:

    1. About half of the time the screen is upside down when I opened the PC. Sometimes closing and by reopening bypasses the screen. Sometimes a reboot is required.
    2. The hardware keyboard and the touchpad randomly is disabled. A full restart is necessary for reactivation.

    The machine is working. The service company argues that were without material errors, and restored the operating system to windows 8 - who has not solved the problems.

    I see in this forum a lot has similar problems with this model. I've tried every suggestion I could find here. Onfortunately it did not help.

    Just for the follow-up of this: HP transferred my "case" in Danish support, who contacted me by phone and loved very much for help me.
    I send a few drivers for display, chipset and touchpad, with instructions to install them in a specific order.
    Unfortunately, it has not solved the problem.
    I was then absent for various during some time and when I went back to using the machine again, there was an update of display driver of app HP Support Assistant unfortunately the autoinstall has failed, but I managed to find the same product on the HP website driver download and install manually from there. I also found a newer version of the chipset driver, which I also installed.
    Installation of the required drivers, a lot of tinkering, including the assistance of a third party (provided by HP) to completely remove the old display driver, several restarts in safe mode, etc.
    At the time of writing these I have had no problems on keyboard for a while - hoping he disappeared completely. The problem with the screen being upside is still there, but to a much lesser degree. In addition, the orientation sensor seems more sensitive, while just shaking the screen backwards a little wil if he turns in the correct position.
    If this will continue to be the situation, I can live with that.
    But still: (almost) all that work to make a product works as advertised should not be necessary. It should work out of the box or at least with a quick access, automated driver update.
    When I saw a great add to the airport the other day, promising that HP will "continue to reinvent", I couldn't help wishing that they would take a break, in order to ensure that they have already invented is currently working as expected ;-)

  • Windows vista problems install keyboard and mouse

    I try to install windows vista ultimate on a new amd system I've built recently. The windows vista screen Boot starts well, but I can't go further with the installation because the keyboard and the mouse do not work.

    To solve the problem, I booted up with a Linux distribution and I can use the keyboard and mouse and everything works fine. Initially, I bought vista using boot camp on my Mac and the keyboard and mouse work well with vista on this configuration.
    I want to upgrade to windows 8 thereafter, but I might need to buy the whole program, rather than the update if I can't do vista works. I don't want to spend money if I can't because I'm broke. Any suggestions?

    Parameters of the BIOS of some computers have a setting "Enable USB Legacy" to allow the keyboard to work without Windows running.

    If you have PS/2 ports buy an adapter or a PS/2 keyboard. Most USB keyboards can be connected to a PS/2 port using a USB to PS/2 adapter.

    It's very strange. Unfortunately I have no precise explanation. I suggest you check this with external keyboard to see if the keyboard is not defective.

    Some people said you had a problem with any of the mobile world?
    .. .hmm statement very interesting but according to her simple nonsense.

    First of all every part is covered by the warranty s notebook. Standard warranty covers material for the first month issues 12. Of course, it is possible to extend this warranty

    In case the material part will begin a malfunction within this period, the part will be replaced in the warranty conditions. Otherwise if your warranty isn't valid more and you will pay for the replacement of equipment.

    In my opinion, the material must be checked properly to get information what part is malfunctioning.
    Maybe it s just a defect of operation of the keyboard or in the worst case, the motherboard
    It is difficult to say what's wrong so far in the part was checked.

    In case the external keyboard still works correctly, the card mother isn t touched and the new keyboard should solve the problem.

  • Satellite A500 / big problem with keyboard

    Hello everyone, first sorry for my English, I'm French!

    Anyway, since 2 days now my Satellite A500 has a big keyboard problem and I don't know how to fix it. I used it as usually, just cleaned each week arriving at work with a simple cloth and after starting my computer, when I started typing, I realized that the keyboard has disappeared as a "madman".

    Some keys are reversed, others like the space bar just doesn't work anymore, capslock button now unlock with the key has and another example, when I press D writes 'CD' and other stuff like that. It is simply impossible to type correctly. I'm running on Windows 7, I have the first test to look for any kinf of viruses, vain, so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 7, then after I did the update to the Bios and now everything is clear and clean, but the keyboard problem is still there.

    The fact is that I have this laptop since August 2009 and my warranty no longer applies, so before I should send my computer to any computer repair store I want to know if it's really a problem of keyboard/equipment which can be fixed, "softwarely" or if there is always some kind of alternative for me.

    Thanks to all for your future responses.

    Hello

    Crazy keyboard?
    Hmm. Don t think that it s software or related bios looks more keyboard problem.
    You can try to plug an external USB keyboard to check if the problem would be also available
    If it s not available using the external USB keyboard, then it s internal problem of keyboard and the part needs to be replaced.

    Keyboard replacement is not difficult. The keyboard is secured by two or three screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
    Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, lift the keyboard, disconnect the cable (notice, two tiny locks on the connector needs to be moved).
    Then, you would be able to remove the cable of the flat keyboard which is connected to the mobo.

    But if you have no experience, then you this replacement must be done by laptop computer technician.

  • Satellite A300 - 1 5: keyboard and touchpad not working

    I have problem with keyboard and touchpad. Laptop satellite A300 - 1 5

    I have Vista home premium and when I turn on the computer, I put password in the user box then my keyboard and the touchpad do not work.

    In the Bios my keyboard work but when Vista starts it doesn't have.

    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, please check the status of the device in Device Manager.
    Please check if the keyboard and touchpad are listed correctly without any yellow exclamation point.

    But you should try to reinstall the drivers again, even if the keyboard and the touchpad have been recognized correctly.
    In this case I recommend to remove the keyboard and the touchpad Device Manager, and then you must restart the computer once more.

    After Vista has restarted the two devices should be recognized again and should work.

    Please check this!

  • Satellite A300-1AL - keyboard and touchpad issues after change of OS

    Hello

    I'm looking for suggestions or ideas how to deal with the problem of keyboard and the touchpad, which occurred just after I installed the new operating system. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and my keyboard and touchpad become inactive after a few minutes of starting the system. It is not serious if I write something or not, the unit works for a short time, then turn off automatically. I tried to find updates the driver but failed to come through what might be the solution. It is difficult to work with the screen keyboard so I hope that you will be able to help me.

    Thank you in advance,
    perkit

    I have Satellite A300-1LI and I installed clean Win7 32-bit using the Microsoft installation disc and all devices are working properly including the keyboard and the touchpad.

    Have you installed Win7 upgrade or clean the Win7 version?
    Have you used Microsoft installation CD?
    In General, keyboard and touchpad must work without any additional driver.

  • No response from the keyboard and mouse to the Windows logon.

    Hello, I had this problem a while but a restore fixed it, and of course it happened recently that I want to challenge results.
    Basically, my mouse and my keyboard do not respond before Windows logon.
    Opening height of session does not either.
    The keyboard and mouse seem to work if I go into the conservation program (ESC key at startup and F11).

    I'm running Windows 7 on an HPG60 laptop 64-bit with 3 GB of RAM.
    Processor: Intel (r) Celeron (r) CPU
    900 to 2.20 GHz 2.19 Ghz

    My mouse is actually a touchpad - Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad.
    My keyboard is attached to laptop Standard 101/102 - key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard PS/2 with HP QLB.
        
    I need help as SOON as possible so that I can get back to work.

    This is equivalent to the old rule of iron of computing: If you have important files on your PC, then you need to back up an external medium regularly. Problem request not do or wait until you have a major problem. Fortunately, Windows 7 gives you a loop hole. Here's how it works:
    1. get a disk external 2.5 "in a USB case.
    2. connect it to the PC.
    3. set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    4. start the computer with the Windows 7 repair CD or with your Windows 7 installation DVD.
    5. press a button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    6. When prompted, select "Safe Mode Command Prompt".
    7. connect as administrator if you are prompted.
    8. Select repair when prompted.
    9. Select command prompt.
    10. save your files or folders on the external USB drive (or a flash drive).
    If you are not familiar with the commands of copy in the command line environment, ask a friend gifted in computer science to help you.

    After solving the problem of keyboard and mouse, do you a favor and use the USB disk as backup media. On a regular basis.
