Problems with the ASCII Codes on Windows 8

Hello

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8, and I have a problem with special characters. Since I write in different languages, I have my Spanish keyboard and insert all special characters with Alt + ASCII code. But for some reason, it does not now (I tried on different programs, such as Word, Google Chrome, Adobe InDesign etc.).
How this works?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

I'll leave the answer as to what keys to use for experts, but in the meantime you have table of characters that you can use.  It is located in Accessories/System Tools or on the startup screen, just type Character Map and you will see pop up above.

  • Problem with the new installation of Windows XP on the Satellite A100-259

    Hi all!

    I have a problem with the fresh install WIN XP on Satellite A100-259 (PSAA2E).
    I already deleted the partition, formatted (NTFS) and tried to reinstall from recovery disk that initially provided with the laptop. But whenever I try to install a problem is detected (for the most part it's 'page in the nonpaged area failure').

    I also tried to install the OS directly from MS Windows XP Home Edition SP2 CD - the same problem.
    I checked the partition using PQ Magic and discovered that there are ' partition table error #110 ".» So, what I did:

    (1) delete partition-> create new partition-> format (NTFS)-> reinstall from recovery disk-> has not yet;
    (2) partition delete-> install WinXP CD original by create and format partition option-> has not yet;
    (3) delete the partition (using the magic of pq)-> create partition (using the magic of pq)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK no problems don't-> installation of original win XP CD-installation without changes-> option failed even once
    (4) delete the partition (pq magic)-> create partition (pq magic)-> format NTFS partition for win xp option-> check partition-OK, no problem-> installation of the recovery disc-> has not yet

    Whenever a different error is detected, so I can't identify the problem. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

    Hello

    First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

    So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

    In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

    -Device type Other devices

    Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                         Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3


    Under device status, it says the following:

                           The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

    There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

    To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

    Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

    list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

    I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

    computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

    the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

    He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

    I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Bryan Ray (Richmond, WILL)

    BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  • Satellite A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

    Hello!

    I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

    I tried many different solutions to this problem.
    I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
    When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

    I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
    But I have no idea where I can find something.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

    Hi mate

    I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
    Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

    So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
    The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

    But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
    Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!

  • Still problems with the adapter Bluetooth Toshiba Windows 7

    Hey there, it's me again.

    I am referring to my 'Problem Bluetooth on Windows 7' subject:

    I thought after the solution of bluecat that my problem has been resolved. But it isn't really.

    After you install the Windows fix, it worked just a short time. But now the problem is the same.

    When I remove the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and try to work with Manager Bluetooth of Windows, I see that the Bluetooth icon is to come and one to go on the taskbar. In Device Manager, I said Windows, that it is not closed the device to save power. But I think that the device is on and walk and stop...

    I really absolutely have no idea what is the problem, but I get terribly angry.

    Details:
    Windows 7
    Dell Wireless Bluetooth internal adapter 350 (but it is manufactured by Toshiba)
    Experienced pilots: Vista Pack of profile of the Dell homepage (no battery installed, driver only) / Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the latest version)

    This is the old thread:

    Hi all

    Just as I installed Windows 7, my keyboard and Bluetooth mouse do not work very well.

    I use the Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth internal adapter, Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 8.00.02 and the keyboard and mouse Logitech MX1000.

    To connect the devices on my computer, I first have to disconnect the Bluetooth adapter by pressing Fn + F2 on my Dell i9400, after re-login I can search and connect devices correctly. They work fine as long as the laptop is running.

    After restarting the laptop, devices no longer work. They are still in the known, but not connected Bluetooth stack. That's why I have to unplug the adapter Bluetooth, another time and reconnect in order to connect the two devices.

    I first thought, it's a Windows problem. I thought that Windows is able to ask the adapter to save power. But when I go to Device Manager, there is no box for this option, as known from other devices (Te USB Ports). If this isn't the problem. I think the problem is something else, maybe performed by the Bluetooth stack.

    Windows XP it worked perfectly. I used the same hardware and also the battery Bluetooth Toshiba (uploaded on the homepage of Dell).

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Daevu

    Hey there

    Yesterday I did Format C: and installed Windows 7 news.

    I do not have a bluetooth driver for my Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth adapt (made by Toshiba).

    And now: the mouse and the keyboard work. I even do not see anywhere in my system, but they work.

    There is no bluetooth adapter in my device manager and I had do not connect the keyboard and mouse with my computer. She simply do nothing.

    I do not understand this...

    What is a backup connection?

    What I tried:
    -> Installation more recent Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba. Problem in the above message. I also installed the MS Hotfix. The same problem.

    -> Installed "Vista profile Pack" on the home page of Dell, recommended for my laptop and Windows Vista. There is no battery installed. So I had to connect the mouse and keyboard via the Windows Bluetooth Manager. But the adapter was performed on and off windows, the icon in the task bar came and went and came and went. Connection is good, 1 minute then a few seconds. Not possible to work with the mouse.

    And now, without having to install a driver, it works. Am I stupid?

  • Lenovo G50-80 - problem with the installation CD of Windows 8

    Dear community!

    I have the Windows 8 installation problem on my new laptop Lenovo G50-80. I received the CD Lenovo with WIndows 8, inserted the CD into the DVD player and placed the DVD drive as first boot priority.

    The problem I have is that my Lenovo does not load Windows 8, instead, every time he goes to FREE DOS. What should I do?

  • Problems with the last update of Windows - XP

    My office has recently installed a few days ago most recent Windows automatic updates. I have never had any problem with them until once they have been installed. Now, I am constantly the dreaded BSoD, and my computer not acting is not right. My tv tuner gel to my computer disconnected from the internet after a while to even my mouse not acting pointer is not right (he is not above windows, sometimes only behind them). The Blue Screen of Death appears for a split second, so I have absolutely no time to see what he says.

    The error report contains the following:
    C:\DOCUME~1\LPLINK~1\Locals~1\temp\WER6c8a.dir00\Mini112609-01.dmp
    C:\DOCUME~1\LPLINK~1\Locals~1\temp\WER6c8a.dir00\sysdata. XML

    The error signature:
    BCCode: 1000008e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 004D004E BCP3: 9EBD4B70
    BCP4: 00000000 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 product: 256_1

    When I look into the details, he said something about a device driver. But that doesn't help really since everything he ever said whenever I get a "serious mistake." I've done many analyses of virus/malware/spyware (even with the different products as well) and they all find nothing. Which brings me to the conclusion that the most recent updated Windows (23 or 24 November) is what caused my office these problems.

    If someone could help please shed some light on this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: I also noticed that when my computer disconnects from the internet, I have to restart in order to regain access to the network. But when I try to restart, it refused to stop and freezes just my background image. I also have a laptop with XP Professional SP3 on it and I have absolutely no problem with him. It is only limited to my office.

    Legrand, I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy too. I tried everything and finally understood the November 25 or 26 update messed up my AVG anti-virus. I deleted via the control panel and did not have a freeze since! I hope you are using AVG, cause if you are, it's probably your answer too. I'll check back here soon to see if this helped you.

    The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
    have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
    install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
    Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
    Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
    here:

    If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can

  • Is there a problem with the latest update of Windows for Vista (January 13, 2016).

    After installation of 10 updates by restarting, through phase II and restart again my display driver stopped working so there is nothing on the screen. The disc did something for about 20 minutes, but there is no signal on the screen (yellow light instead of green).

    I had to do a restore, but Windows guard eager to make the same update, leaving me in the same position with no display.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

    Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  • Problem with the mixer Volume of Windows: no longer shows the green bars for the application

    Thanks, TheDarkTrainer

    Hi TheDarkTrainer,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

    I need more information to help you better.

    1. What is the brand and model of the card its installed on the computer?

    2 - is the first time you encounter the problem?

    For single channel sound cards, you will only be able to see the green bar for Master Volume control and not for other applications such as Windows Media Player.

    Controls on other applications are given to control the volume of the special request regarding the Master Volume control.

    For example, if you scroll the bar to set the Master Volume to 100% and then play a music file in Windows Media Player. You can try to open the mixer Volume and increase/decrease the volume for Windows Media Player, you will notice that the master control will set the green bar accordingly and don't let not the green bar to cross the bar of the Windows Media Player.

    If you disable the control Volume for Windows Media Player, it will automatically make the green bar will disappear from the Master Volume control.

    However, if you have several applications running on the machine at the same time and using the sound card, you can try to change the levels on different controls to see the effect.

    With several cards his channel as sound blasters, it would be possible to see the green bar on individual applications also.

    Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know
