Special character key and keys doesn't work is not in Windows 8

Original title: just installed win8.  more funny - number and @ sign willnot work trying to reset my pw etc but works fine on my applications. can u solve this problem?

Installed Win 8 and now numbers and symbols do not work when I try to change my pw or make changes to my account MSFT. BUT they all work very well in all my applications like Word, Outlook, etc. I have a HP laptop dv7. Is there a solution?   It is ironic that I have to use the sign @ to try to get help from MSFT because that's exactly the problem - I can't get the @ sign in my account with them when

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the Microsoft community.
 
It resembles that of the number keys and @ key will not work after you install Windows 8. I understand that this can be embarrassing.

You can follow these steps to search for a program called detector of key journal constant guard or the constant guard of Comcast.

(a) press "Windows +R" and then type "appwiz.cpl" and press ENTER.
(b) locate the program constant guard here.
(c) make a right click on it and select Uninstall.
(d) to restart your computer.

It will be useful. Feel free to get back to us if you have any other questions.

  • Ctrl key doesn't work does not correctly

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion 17-e031sa laptop bought only 2 weeks ago running Windows 8.  The CTRL key does not work as it should.  In general, I would like to use it with the left button of the mouse to select non-consecutive items for the copy, but this won't work for this function.  It doesn't seem to be the key itself, because it does not work in the combination of keys ctrl/alt/delete.  I tried to uninstall the keyboard driver and restart, but without success.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi riggy69,

    Sorry for the confusion, I knew that these keys would not do the function you're looking for. I wanted to know if these shortcuts worked using the CTRL key. So we can see if it works this particular function or all keys ctrl shortcuts work. Quick access keys did what they were supposed to do? For example, the Ctrl + X cut the selected text, or Ctrl-Esc opens the start menu?

    Trying to see if there something wrong with the key itself or is someone wrong with this particular feature you try.

    Thank you

  • Re: Satellite A200 - 23 X: functions of keys doesn't work does not correctly

    Dear friends,

    I have the Toshiba A200 23 X I installed Win XP + SP2 and everything seems to work fine, except when I press FN + F6 F7 0r which increase or decrease the brightness of the screen, nothing happens. The first function keys (power speaker, stanby,) works. If anyone can help me.

    I know this question, I guess that your laptop has been pre-installed with the Vista operating system.
    Am I wrong?

    Portable Satellite A200 series needs a BIOS update to the XP version if a Windows XP operating system has been installed. Please check the European driver Toshiba page and you will find the good BIOS XP.

  • I have a brand new installation of 13 PS elements. How I have difficulty drag and drop doesn't work is not on my system Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?

    I just installed PS 13 items on my system Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Mouse clicking works, but how I have difficulty drag and drop works do not? For example, I can't create a selection rectangle or drag the sliders or move the panels of the tool or resize a text box, I tried as an administrator (it does not help). Same "ClickLock" in Windows does not drag. No other program on my machine has problems. Help!

    Reset preferences did not set anything. Even reinstall 13 elements PS has not fixed anything.

    However, late breaking new...

    See other discussions on this topic, which suggests a conflict of startup program that might be the cause, I did some experiments.

    All the functions of the mouse to 13 PS elements worked well if I started my Windows 7 in "safe" mode
    So, back in 'normal' mode, I manually disabled all startup programs. Returned mouse problem.
    Enter the control panel "services", I disabled 'Synergy' (a program that allows me to share my keyboard and mouse between two computers). Fixed a problem.
    The reactivation of all the startup programs while leaving a synergy service is turned off, everything works still fine.
    Start all programs present and re-empowerment synergy, but turned off its 'high privilege check box. Everything is still fine.

    Conclusion: Synergy in high privilege mode service was the only culprit.
    Synergy in non high mode allows my PS 13 items and keyboard/mouse sharing to coexist.

    The strange thing is that only PS elements 13 was affected by synergy. I detect no problems anywhere else. But it doesn't matter; the new arrangement (no high synergy) works fine for everything.

  • User accounts - > user accounts to manage a link doesn't work is not in Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I tried to open the Panel-> user accounts-> accounts less manage accounts does not create a new account link. My OS is Windows 7 64 bit. 32-bit Internet Explore doesn't work. I tried to register the dll files to 32-bit internet explorer, but it does not work. Please help me.

    Hi Madhavaarimilli,

    -You receive an error message when you try to create a new user account or access to Internet Explorer 32-bit?

    First of all, I suggest to start the computer in safe mode and check if you can create a new account on your computer. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode, select it and press ENTER.

    Access the link to learn more about how to start the computer in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    To create a new user account follow the steps below:

    1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

    2. click on Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. click on create a new account.

    4 type the name that you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click create an account.

    If the problem persists in safe mode, I would say allowing you to run the auditor of file system (CFS) analyze and check if if helps solve you the problem.

    To run the Scan SFC follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    Access the link below to learn more about the execution of the System File Checker:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

    For question connects to open Internet Explorer, I would say to run the Internet Explorer troubleshooting utility built into Windows 7 and check to see if it helps you solve the problem.

    To run the Internet Explorer troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    1. close all programs.

    2. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    3. under system and security, click on find and fix problems.

    4. in the left pane, click View all.

    5. click on Internet Explorer Performance. This opens a new window.

    6. click Next.

    7. the resolution of the issues will take place and try to solve the issues raised everything automatically. Click Close.

    After the store has run successfully, check to see if you receive the same error.

    Also access the link below and follow the steps to solve the problem with Internet Explorer.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Ball control and keys doesn't work does not correctly!

    I have the curve 8330 and when I put in my unlock code and press the trackball, it acts as if im entering additional keys. When I finally get into the phone and try to press on the trackball, in its action, as if I am pressing the asterisk key. It does not correctly read the keys and is to register them as another key! Help pleaaase!

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.

    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered.

    Really, it is more common than you think.

    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.

    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)

    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).

    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    • On top of all heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    • On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

  • Caps lock key doesn't work does not correctly. New computer.

    My shift key does not work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I push on it is difficult to ensure that it works. But used in a standard keyboard, it is a problem because I don't bang the keys. I have to keep retype phrases due to errors that it creates.

    Its a shame because my computer is new. In fact, within a month, it is the second time I have to look at the service center. First time because the memory of my computer showed I consumed 40 GB without even having saved/downloaded a single file/document. The repair center did not have an answer and reformat the computer. This problem has been resolved.

    Was so much happier with my Dell computer. Nothing fancy, but no problem.

    I have the same problem. the button is enabled as soon as the second or even third. you don't want to, but you have to take it back in service. Maybe it's a factory default.

  • FN key doesn't work is not Windows XP - Satellite L305-S5885

    Hello, I recently downgraded my Toshiba Satellite L305 S5885 from Vista to Windows XP. Everything works well except the function (Fn) keys to control the screen brightness, volume. Some function as mute but most do nothing when I try to use them. All the installed drivers although Device Manager shows errors or lack nothing.

    I tried to install all the drivers for the keyboard, the Fn keys, keyboard shortcuts, and still I can't work at all. Someone was able to get these keys to run after the installation of WinXP or you know what drivers/software I'm missing? These keys can be used in XP or they work only in Vista?

    Thank you.

    This feature has nothing to do with the operating system or Device Manager. FN keys feature Toshiba use for years and in my opinion, it will be used in the future also.

    As I see you probably have US laptop model. I put t know how he works in the United States, but here in Europe Toshiba offered special WXP BIOS update. After installing this BIOS the FN keys work correctly.

    In order to check it please US Toshiba support site under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp to see what is available for Windows XP Home edition. I also recommend you check the section ask Iris. Maybe you can find useful newsletters.

    One last thing: under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1 you will find the forum we Toshiba. There, I hope that you will find answer to your question.

    Good luck and please let us know if you set up Windows XP Home edition successfully.

  • Equium A300D Multimemedia keys doesn't work does not correctly...

    Basically, I had the laptop for about 4 months and for a period of time sensitive multimedia keys in the upper part of the keyboard lost their illumination, and whenever I tried to press the one who was supposed to enlighten them, he just cut my volume: S

    Now, they are light up again, (did himself when I rebooted once) but mutes still key illumination and the ("Fn" + F number) function keys don't seem to work. for example - disable control mousepad on FN + F9 and light control on FN + F2.

    Anyone got any solutions?
    If I have to re - install drivers can someone tell me what one I should look for, because it doesn't seem to be a "multimedia keys' one.

    Hello

    I m not very well, but I recommend to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package.
    We must first remove the old VAP and after restarting again install the value-added Package downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
