Shift + number keys not giving expected symbols

At first, I thought that my new keyboard was messed up. So, I went to a back brand new to my old. And I still have the same problem. Whwn I hold the SHIFT and the key 2 on my keyboard, it supposed to do the sign right @.

Is not... instead, he does this '(a parenthesis). Even with Shift and 3 keyboard, it's a slash instead of the usual pound sign.

However, if I want to do the at sign, I you hold the ALT key and then press 2... See... @

As for a question mark key... I can't even it works. Something is messed up here and its very annoying. I need my old ways of striking back. Can someone help me thanks in advance.

Sounds as if you have selected a non-English input language. Control Panel, region and language; also check if your new keyboard has a selection of available language that may need to be changed.

  • number keys not working not not on Dell Inspiron 3521

    my letter of the keys work and keys that run along the top letter keys work too, but the number keys on the side don't work at all, I push the number to memorize and off several times and it makes a noise, but all this every time I'm trying the numbers, it's done the page up or down, or to highlight everything that is already typed in front of her.

  • FN + number keys not working on Satellite R630

    I can't get the functions on the digital keys that must be operated by the FN button to work (control volume keys 3 and 4, etc.).
    When I press FN a menu comes up with all the F keys, but if I press FN + number key, nothing happens.

    I use a brand-new Satellite R630 (windows 7).

    Thanks for any answers

    Hello

    Do you have what key tried? The numbers at the bottom of the row of keys F1 to F12 or the numbers right on pavement?

    Exceptionally, you should try the number keys at the bottom of the row of keys F1 to F12:
    FN + 1 SmoothView scale down
    FN + 2 SmoothView Scale-up
    FN + 3 lower the sound Volume
    FN + 4 sound Volume up

  • Mode of Intel not giving expected performance - vSPhere 5.5 - Intel CPU E5-2699

    Hello

    We have a few hosts Dell R730 with 2xE5-2699 CPU in them. Basic frequency is 2.3 Ghz and Max Turbo 3.6 according to the specifications.

    Intel's mode is activated and we are running 1 VM on those hosts with 4vCPU, the virtual machine is configured as sensitive to high latency. When carrots are maxxing out on the virtual machine, we see Mhz max 11250 use which is 2812, 5 Mhz by heart, which is 2.8 Ghz. I expect to see 3.6 Ghz, because the host is only 1VM running with 4cores and the host is 18Cores (per CPU).

    Someone got experience with this CPU and turbo boost? Is there maybe some configurations we miss them?

    Concerning

    Jonas

    You can find these multiplier cpu-datasheet. Calculate you the frequency as for load of 2 strands:

    base_frequency_ [GHz] + (multiplier * bus_clock_ [GHz]) = 2.3 + (13 * 0.1) = 3.6 GHz

    For 1 or 2 basic load, the multiplier is 13 (that strain begins with support for 18 all the kernels, then 17, 16, 15, etc., up to simple core). In your case, VM has now 4 vCPU. It is expected to use multiplier 10 and get 3.3 GHz, but no! 5 multiplier is used. Why? Because of the feature called 'load thermal balancing': ESXi "turns" that 4vCPU the load on all pCPUs/pCores, so that all pCPUs/pCores are moderately loaded (so your multiplier 5 is used). Every modern operating system is present (even Windows). Otherwise, a part of CPU chip would be extremely hot, while other parts were cold.

    If you had installed Windows directly on the physical machine, you can stop using "processor affinity". You can probably do it in ESXi also, but I DON'T recommend it, unless you are ready to burn/wreck your Jepp. If only 2 of 18 pCores (on each pCPU) are 100% and remaining close to 0%, heat stress on carrots loaded and no charge limit is extremely high. This could really insist pCPU up leading to physical damage (even with very good cooling), if you run it any longer...

    Hi Wairds,

    Have you changed the keyboard to another language?

    This kind of problem occurs if the keyboard layout is changed to another format like English (United Kingdom) or other non-English of the provision.

    Try to define the layout of the English (United States) and check if you face this problem.

  • Shift + 2 key combination also paste text to the Clipboard

    I use a Dell Inspiron laptop. About 3 days ago, when I pressed Shift + 2, it not only print symbol @, also paste the text into the Clipboard.

    For example:

    I copy the "cat" text, and then type my email, it is assumed to be @live.com, but prove @catlive.com

    The same problem also happens to other shift-[number key] except number 5 and 6.

    This problem has never happened before, and the only thing I installed recently is driver dell wireless (re - INSTALL a week ago).

    Sometimes, this problem may occur because of incorrect security software settings.

  • CTRL + click / SHIFT + click does not not on the specific Web site

    I'm an admin for this blog site: http://undividedblog.org.uk/

    If you use Firefox, I discovered that, for almost all of the links on the site above, perform a CTRL + click or a SHIFT + click the link does not open the link in a new tab or window, but on the contrary is no nothing that either.

    I tested a 22.0 Firefox running on two separate computers, and a Firefox running 16.0.2, and machines/versions behave exactly the same way, i.e. CTRL + click and SHIFT + click the links does nothing.

    By clicking normal on the links behave as expected, navigate to the location of the link. Using the right click > open link in a new tab, or right click > open the link in a new window works fine too.

    I tried CTRL + click and SHIFT + click on the site above using the two Chrome and IE, and they work fine. So I've narrowed the issue down to be something to do with the way Firefox processes the HTML of the site. Firefox on both machines deals very well with links on other sites by doing a CTRL + click or SHIFT + click. but not on this specific site.

    Can someone help me to find out why this is happening? Why is that a problem on Firefox? What is the specific site that Firefox has issues with?

    Thanks long before any wisdom or experience that you can lend to it. She was driving me crazy, as I have always used Firefox and I rely heavily on CTRL/SHIFT + click, especially when doing admin stuff.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

  • Shift register do not add

    Hi all

    I am trying to use the shift register adding all the waveform detected. The additional result will be divided the current number of waveform to the average score. However, it seems that the shift register does not at all. See the image below, if the waveform number is 1000, the intensity of the signal averaging is of only 1/1000 of the signal detected. Theoreically, if no noise present and the shift register has added each detection, the average signal should be identical to the detected signal. Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you very much

    First of all you should be dividing by the end of the inner loop, I not + 1 of the outer loop.

    If you want an average on the outer loop as well, you need a registry change in this loop.
