My Acer Aspire V - 123 Windows 8 keeps freezing and some keys on the keyboard are not working
I'm currently using a netbook ACER ASPIRE V - 123 with Windows 8 as its operating system and it is not yet updated to 8.1.
At first when my computer laptop while boots 'seems' to agree, and whenever I try to open a file without any content it took me about 30-45 seconds, opening a program would take me almost 45 seconds to a minute, and I think that something is not right with my laptop and when I try to open a website via my web browser and my laptop would just FREEZE and I can't do anything about it , but I hate to do HARD reset. And to add to this unfortunate scenario is that some of the keys on my keyboard are not working the letters like R, T, I, O and backspace and many others (which I don't remember exactly one by one).
I try to read some forums on different sites and some posts to the community of MS and did several tests like starting in SAFE MODE w / NETWORKING and downloaded the software like MALWAREBYTES to find potential infections, but nothing found. I also did the start-up in MINIMAL MODE, but again, the situation was the same, but when I'm the boot without failure the filling and freezing are only decrease and I don't want always starts in mode safe.
From now my laptop is booting in a start-up in MINIMAL MODE and I don't know what to do next, what to try next. I hope someone could lead me to the solution to this problem, I would be eternally GRATEFUL.
Please do help me in a step by step process and if possible please guide me with pictures or screenshots because I prefer to learn things when I Visual effects on what to do.
Thanks for patiently reading this post.

Hi Ben,
Sorry for the late reply, the laptop has been fixed, it seems to be a hardware problem. We disconnected the connection of the keyboard to the laptop right now I use an external keyboard to type. Cannot afford now to buy and replace my laptop keyboard, the graphics card Driver has been updated also and I've reformatted the OS
The gel did not appear more in the normal boot and if all goes well for work this way for good.
Thanks for the information you have shared to me, he has also been a great help.
until next time Ben!
Best regards

Product key on the laptop does not work
I have a windows product key 7 on my laptop, but it won't work to reinstall windows 7 on my pc. Recently my windows startup files I screwed up and I couldn't boot into windows more. How can I use the product key at the bottom of my laptop to re-install windows7?
The disk or reinstall media you used to install Windows 7, it matches the product key? Or have you just used a disk for a different edition? Is the key product for Windows 7 Starter, basic family, Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition?
How did you start the reinstallation?
New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

Try attaching an external keyboard to your laptop and see if you still have the same problem. I guess it's a hardware problem that you need to get fixed.
I hope this helps.

I can't open a windows session that mouse and the keyboard of the laptop are not working
I had problems after trying to remove my hard drive security software, so I tried to run the Microsoft System Restore. It has not then I ran then ran the program to repair the disk supplied by HP with the notebook.
The result is that the laptop seems to start ok but when the log on window appears that I can't do as the full implementation of the mouse or the keyboard. The laptop is under XP SP3, but after the repair process, it now seems to be Build 2600 xpsp SP"rtm 040803 - 2158 Service pack 2.
The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv4232EA
I can solve this problem of the mouse and keyboard without reformatting and loading of software?
If not, is there a way to recover some data from HDD files before reformatting?
nvsm1
Hey nvsm1,
I'm sorry that you run into this problem starting. Absolutely, there is a way to get hold of these data. Better yet, it's free too! You can use a LiveCD. The link below has all the information you need on creating a LiveCD and how to use it to recover your data. That case is due to infection by the virus, but it can be used in all cases where the Windows operating system has become corrupted and does not start (drops physical, boot manager or viral infections is damaged).
Recovering data using a Knoppix LiveCD
Because the repairs go well, the best next step would be a total reformat Windows, unfortunately. You pourriez give repair one more try, but I think it will finally take a reformat. I would recover the data first before trying an alternative remedy.
Please let me know if you have other issues with Knoppix or whatever it is. Let me know the results when you get a chance

Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x
Key ESC Office keyboard does not work on desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 x
Now, it's a boring, which several other users have reported under different threads. Because I couldn't find a post with quite similar symptoms, I made my own topic.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 x on an old one (Intel Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM, 524 GB HDD - in case, for reasons unknown to me, someone needs to know it...) , DellXPS system. Not more than a few weeks ago my home button keyboard unresponsive on this system.
I did a lot of troubleshooting, but these measures have been carried out:
* Tested keyboard on the other system, touch ESC WORKS on the other system
* Reinstalled keyboard and USB drivers on the XPS system, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Connected to a never-before-used USB keyboard, ESC key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Opened and cleaned the keyboard, tested, Escape key WORKS, Don't DO NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Tested in various applications: Desktop (Esc will close the start menu), Photoshop, Vegas, Notepad, games full screen OpenGL,Escape key does NOT WORK on the XPS system
* Google for possible solutions, none found...Note: Highlights show where the ESC key does not work. I am troubled by the XPS system.
In case you missed it my list of troubleshooting steps, the ESC key works on another computer of Windows 7 system.
I have to still garble my self through the registry in the hope that someone might have an idea of the steps to follow before I lose a day to see the things that I honestly know squat. Please help if you can; What could be the issue/common application that separates this key in the Windows world and how could I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!
For reference,.
No major changes have been made since the keyboard unresponsive with the exception of:
Updates to FireFox (including modules Ad-Block Plus, NoScript, which have also been updated).
Windows Update
A 10.x MB World of Warcraft patch/update on a keyboard AFTER week unresponsiveAlready installed the patches StarCraft II and World of Warcraft, which none touched my keyboard to my knowledge. I finished almost all of StarCraft II and had no problems...
I know it's a bit old, but I was living the question myself. Thought I had found the problem and it was fixed but then it happened again. Came to find out (by closing a program and test the ESC key) it's because Photoshop.
With the help of Photoshop, which could match the case you mention. Not only that but I did a search ('ESC' does not not Photoshop) and stumbled on some answers/solutions workaround for it. One is to use SHIFT + ESC ESC does not work.
Hope this helps someone. I fell it using my original research ("Windows 7" BSE "ESC" keyboard does not) and know that others are likely to see. If you have not already learn the cause, in the year + since your original message, then voila.

Key on the keyboard does not work in firefox box when you type in the web site, but it works everywhere else?
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themesCan be caused by an add-on to the AVG.
When find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

All the keys do things randomly or not working do not at all
The MacBook is only 6 months old. The keyboard behaves strangely. The key doesn't work at all, and many other keys do different other things only advertised on the key! For example, the H key is RET...! Intermittently, the works of the SHIFT key (next to (A) are another example. I have to take this back to the Apple Store do you think?
Thank you

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together
Hello
thought I'd post here here as having a few issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer suffers the same problems and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a few very useful told me who to try to solve the problems.
One of them suddenly realized I had said my laptop is a Toshiba, and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together so that the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs do not like each other and explain why my office is not the problem but the laptop don't.
After you have reset the Touch of Windows Mail (tutorial on a site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/ vista) wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site 32 and 64 and followed great reset Windows Mail from Brink (do not restore all mail) then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch of the drink no more mail questions that gave me problems almost every day with marking than reading/sending project messages.
So had to click forward then remove those bits and complete the email to send and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to the box shipment or project to obtain the number of emails in parentheses, whereas before it wouldn't happen unless I closed the program and then reopened.
Hoping that these solutions have solved my problem and wanted to share it with someone else who wants to read this thread and you recommend Vista 64 because they are all very useful there and speak in non-technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
