touch screen keyboard symbols does not properly

I bought recently an Asus transformer convertible portable book, which features a touchscreen removable "tablet" next to the keyboard. Most of the time I just use the screen without the keyboard as I have the touchscreen keyboard. I have windows 8 is installed.

The problem is that no matter when try to use the keyboard section and press a key, it acts as a regular keyboard that requires shift for me to press a button to get some symbols. Such as SHIFT, press 1 to get! and 2 to get @ etc.

This is a problem because there no way for me to 'shift' then that in this section, which means I have no way to use the majority of the symbols, unless I was to give the keyboard, which I won't do. It's the same with the? on the main screen to give me a / instead.

Someone else has this problem as well? Becomes more and more frustrating.

I searched for answers, the closest, I had was that it could be the UK keyboard, which is not, as I discovered, I have the English (Canada), I selected when setting up my computer.

The keyboard I used was the touch keyboard, similar to that on the picture of this Article:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/using-touch-keyboard

I tried also a lot of different things that I could think of to try to make it work, such as the SHIFT key, and then selecting the specific symbol, neither of which worked, moving to the symbols section and pressing one and also hold out the number or symbol that coincides with it.

Honestly I don't know what happened, but it seemed to have fixed itself after my computer up to date a little after I posted this. which is always strange, because it was updated several times before and the problem remains.

IM praying that the problem does not return, but I'm not keeping my hopes.

    Since you mentioned different problems with your laptop, I think that in this case its recommended to get the laptop back to factory settings just to check if all these problems are related to the problem of system.

    Regarding the webcam: Windows 8/8.1 already contains the webcam drivers and therefore additional webcam driver installation isn t possible. Extra webcam driver is not simply.

  • Wired Keyboard 500 does not properly

    My new wired keyboard 500 ignores strikes unless I type very slowly.  My old keyboard does the same thing.  Very frustrating.  Is this a Vista problem?

    Hi jdheim,

    This only happens with certain applications? Notepad, Word

    This problem may be caused by a hardware conflict or software, I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the mouse and keyboard and then start.

    Now check if the problem is resolved

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

    Step 2: If outdated security software, can cause this problem

    Disable security software, follow the steps mentioned below

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Important: Activate security software once the test is

    Step 3: Change the keyboard and test settings, see the link below for the steps:

  • Keyboard-zero does not properly.

    When in Excel and I use my keyboard for numbers, I can't use the zero (you need to use the '0' on the top of my keyboard).  All other work of numbers very well but when I type in '0', the format screen comes with 'cut', 'copy', 'paste', 'format', etc.  It's frustrating if you enter a large number of numbers.  Can you help me.?

    It will be a combination, but each model computer is different on those who.  It's usually something like the Fn with F9 or something, but you really need to check with your manual the owner or the company that built to know for sure.

  • my hp touch screen desktop computer does not connect to internet

    I'm having a problem with getting my computer wifi hp pavilion all-in-one Office work. It won't let me connect to the internet, but a few days ago it was working fine. I know that I get internet because I use my Tablet right now to write this message, and I use the internet on my ps3 and Xbox 360. I tried to reset the router and disconnect it from the wireless network on my desktop then back to zero, but those who did not. I even uninstalled the updates I had installed because it was the last thing I could do before it's Wi - Fi no longer works, but that didn't work either. Please, someone help me solve this problem. I use Windows 8.1, is a 64-bit operating system, and the product number is H5P61AA.

    Thank you very much. I could solve the problem when I was checking on the news you want. When I was checking to see if I had a firewall on, I came across a page that said I had to go to the control panel. While there, I found a troubleshooting guide for network access. I ran that, and he said: ' the device or resource (www.Microsoft.com) is not configured to accept connections on port "The World Wide Web (HTTP) Service".» "When I saw this, I Googled what it meant, and he leads to a page that gave me the idea to try to reopen the internet. This is when I was careful with the expression "the proxy server is not responding." Then I googled how to fix the proxy server. I followed the steps to open the tools then internet options. From there I went on connections, then LAN settings and I unchecked the box «use a proxy server for your LAN...» "& I ticked the box that follows,"automatically detect settings ". Then it worked! So I guess I could MacGyver it later to your questions.

    Thank you.

  • Scrolling the page does not properly respond to BlackBerry Curve9360

    Hello friend

    I have developed applications for BlackBerry (JqueryMobile, Phonegap) the application works fine in BlackBerry Torch 9800.

    But once I've installed in BlackBerry Curve9360, scrolling of the page does not properly, that I am not able to view the complete list of items and long text.

    Help, please

    I came up with the solution, the problem occurs because BlackBerry Curve 9360 isn't a touchscreen, there fore scroll doesn't work.

    In my applications, I add 2 pages "index.html."

    on the first page, you have to test if the device is not touch and redirect to the second page.

    Do not use the page for "BB Curve" scroll and any other animation like CSS "" - webkit - transform: translate3d "»

    The other js script go without a problem.

    The page "BB Curve" to redesign the html for use with the cursor,
    For example, the menu is smaller, the police is smaller.
    the size of the screen is fixed.
    Dimension height is better indicate a value min eg 300px
    etc...
