United States International keyboard option does not properly

Hello, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.  I had been using the option of United States International keyboard, but it has stopped working.  The keys as the "quote mark and the tilde ~ print twice instead of the combination with the next character."  I tried to reinstall the keyboard option, but I still have the same problem.  I don't know when it started so I can't link to a particular Windows Update but I not made any changes to my hardware or installed new programs.  I use the Avira Anti Vir personal.

Hi mdmcpapr,

Please try to remove the windows update and see if this solves the problem:

  • How to use the United States-International keyboard in Windows 8

    Hello

    I can't find a way to US International keyboard configuration in Windows 8. It's really frustrating because I like working with an English keyboard, but I often have to write Spanish accents or special characters.
    Best regards, Miguel.

    Hello

    Took me a little while to understand it as it is not obviously accessible somehow...
    Please, try the following. Go to 'Control Panel\Clock, language and Region\Language', click English (United States)... 'options', then 'Add an input method', search for [QWERTY] United States International Touch Keyboard layout (in my case) or similar; then 'Add '.
    Once he shows up the international sort, DELETE the default English input method.
    You should then be able to n, a e i o u without delay by pressing first the focus then the letter
    Then hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys +! do

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    Step 2: If outdated security software, can cause this problem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

  • 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.

  • Earn 8 options does not properly

    Recently, I did a restore of the entire system (default OEM) to replace my dual boot Win 8 / Ubuntu 13.04. I did system restore, as I started to have problems starting between the two BONES. Here's the problem that has occurred since then...

    -When you choose "Reboot" in the settings menu, the computer stops and only turns back on when you press the power button.
    -When you select shutdown, the OS of the shutdows downwards, after the screen turns off, the power does not turn off as may be indicated by the fan is always on and the power light on. He never stops until a forced shutdown (hold down the power button)

    «I read about Windows 8 issues of power, many recommend that you disable the function "Turn on quick start»» This does not affect the problem.

    I don't know if it's related, but I also see Ubuntu still present in the BIOS, could it be the art of the problem? If so I can't get rid of it. I tried the bootrec options and even tried EasyBCD 2.2 that can remove entries, but it seems that it keeps reappearing after each deletion. Strange.

    Any advice on one of the problems would be much appreciated, although my main problem is the question of food.

    Thank you

    Hi Daniel,.

    Thanks for the update.

    Even if it takes more time, I suggest you send the computer to Samsung, so that they can meet the problem first-hand. By doing this, they will be able to pin-point the problem and solve it.

    In addition, they will have information about the structure of the Boot Partition and the Partition of the system, which will be useful.

  • Disable keys dead for the United States-International keyboard layout

    Hello!

    I have been using the keyboard configuration United International (see 306560 KB) for some time now and there is one thing that I find really annoying: the keys for the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(QUOTATION MARK), '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) are 'dead' in that provision, which means that they do not produce immediately a character when I press them.»

    I use this keyboard to enter German text and I did "dead keys" behavior at all, because all the German special characters (such as umlauts) can be produced by pressing the right ALT (ALTGR) while pressing another key (for example I can produce u pressing ALT GR + y). Dead keys can produce the same thing (for example pressing "follow-up of product u u) but I need them because I can produce them more easily otherwise.

    So, that's so boring on the dead keys? They interrupt the 'normal' uses of the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(quotation MARK), key '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) that you must press SPACE to have actually produce it a character." For example, I have to press on "followed by SPACE to produce the" character, which is really a pain if you use a lot of quote. "."

    So my question is this: can I use the keyboard layout United International (see 306560 KB) to type accents, but have the ' (APOSTROPHE), "(quotation MARK), key '(ACCENT GRAVE), ~ (TILDE) and ^ (CARET) behave as in the 'US' keyboard layout, so that they produce their respective characters immediately?"

    If I can avoid using software 3 rd - party, it would be great. And I think I saw somewhere that you can actually "change" somehow an existing page layout, but I have not seen anywhere how to do for these dead wicked keys.

    Thank you
    Chris

    Thanks Rohit,

    After a lot of reading, download and play with MSKLC, I derived my own layout of the provision of the US Intl without dead keys. If anyone is interested, I have published for download here:

  • 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.

  • Switchable AMD graphics card does not properly

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 3521:

    -Core i3 3227U with HD4000 Intel integrated graphics

    -AMD Radeon discrete graphics HD7670M

    Problem is switchable graphics do not seem to pass to Radeon on some games. They seem to work very well in Bioshock Infinite (medium setting is playable) or Borderlands 2 (FPS maxed out, decent), but in games like Assassins Creed 4 I get terrible FPS even on possible graphics configurations as low, and I know that my Radeon is capable of much more than that. Even Crysis 1, which must run on highest details with good FPS is playable through details.

    I did everything the internet has suggested (update day drivers, beta drivers, switchable graphics configuration, uninstall CCC, disabling Intel HD, etc.). I'm not a tech genius, but I know such things well enough to know that some of my games (if not all, to be honest) are not running on my graphics card discrete, despite the fact that they are programmed in the Maximum performance in the catalyst.

    I know people have been suffering from this, but I would like to know if someone has solved this problem, or if I have any chance to get my laptop to work correctly, after 3 months of looking for a solution.

    It would actually be great, if I could just value my switchable graphics fixed rather than dynamic and just use my Radeon, but I can't, because my BIOS does not give me the option to choose. I mind as Dell support, if I was located in the United States, but since I'm not--I can't either. Help! PLEASE?

    Check with the Publisher of the games that do not work - some may not support switching graphics adapters require an update or upgrade to work.

    You try to run some demanding games on very, very low end hardware - which can be a problem as well.  It is simply not a game system - it can do quite well with the multimedia work, but this is just much too low end for the games you want to run - particularly given the low CPU you have.

  • Satellite R630-14 days - WLAN turn FN + F8 option does not appear

    I just got my Satellite R630-14 days with OS Win7 in German so I reinstalled the OS is in English (Win7 Ultimate).
    I installed all the drivers supplied by Toshiba (Chipset utility, value added package, WLAN Broadcom Wireless Driver, etc.), although when I press FN + F8 combination only keys to toggle the Bluetooh is available.

    Turn WLAN switch option is not displayed.
    Because of this, I can not disable the WIFI network.
    Why the WLAN switch option does not appear even after installing all the drivers?

    Hello

    What it means that all the FN keys work correctly, but only the Fn + F8 for WLan is not OK?

    Hmm I think it has something to do with the WLan driver. If the WLan driver has not been installed properly, then you will not be able to activate this using FN + F8.

    Check-> network adapters Device Manager and check if the wireless network adapter is listed correctly!
