Problem of the windows XP computer keyboard.

Original title: keyboard problem.

SHIFT key symbols, i.e. "and @ are not where they are supposed to be i.e. @ appears when I do shift2 and" appears when I pass "." Can not find my pound sign!

Hello

It is indicative of the keyboard layout wrong selected, normally UK vs US.

Click Start, click Control Panel, click on "Date, time, language and Regional Options", "Regional and Language Options".

Select the keyboard layout suitable for your region in the default input language drop-down list, and then click OK.

    Anyone know if there is a problem with the "Windows Update" site? As of May 11, 2010 I could not access it for 2 days now.  I get an error report indicating that he has a "problem with the site '... Not sure if it's my computer or the site itself.

    ~ Jenifer

    It is without a doubt.  There were a few patches published today, and I was able to update all my machines successfully.  This looks more like a virus problem.  Have you run a virus scan recently?  Many times, if you are infected the virus will prevent you to access Windows Update.

    You can also use Microsoft Fix It to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  This could also be your problem.

    Let me know how it goes,

  • Download error - cannot download anything on the windows vista computer.

    Original title: download error

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    It seems that you have problems with downloading files on the windows vista computer.

    The description of the problem seems a little unclear and I wish I had a better understanding before you start working on it. I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1. what browser you use on the computer?

    2. What is the exact full error message?

    3. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    4. deal with this problem if you try to download all files from online?

    If you do this in the face of Internet Explorer help, I suggest that you should change the default download location and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    In internet explorer, you can change the default location.

    Here's how:

    a. open internet explorer.

    b. click on Tools , then select view downloads.

    c. downloads for window, click Options.

    d. now, enter the default download location and click on the OK button.

    Turn on the computer at the beginning of boot and check if the problem persists.

    Method 2

    Perform a clean boot to see if no third-party service is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: follow step 3 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
