Volume and mute keyboard keys stop working

P7 - 1298c updated to Windows 8 Pro, everything worked but now the volume keys and mute have stop working. I know that there are related software, because if I boot a backup drive, they work again. The most obvious thing I did lately, it's remove the feature optional windows Hyper-V. Is there an obvious way to reactivate the buttons?

Another recent change, I've had, I think that Adobe Flash player has updated.

It seems to have solved the problem with the help of an old thread in the http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio-e-g-Windows-8/Volume-control-keys-on-keyboard-not-working/td-p/773049 area Notebook

I uninstalled the device IDT under sound, video and game controllers in the Device Manager with option enabled, rebooted and reinstalled driver remove the last available IDT device shown to my system model and win 8 64-bit. Oddly enough, I received a message that the update failed. But the sound and the buttons seem to work fine now.

    When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
    The F keys will however continue to work.
    I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.

    A number of key just freeze.
    When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.

    Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
    Thanx

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
    But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
    Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

    It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

  • I deleted the driver for the mouse and the mouse and the keyboard has stopped working.

    I had installed an updated driver mouse and mouse keep locking up. The Windows troubleshooting information indicates that I have to erase the disc from the mouse, and then reinstall the new mouse driver. When I deleted the mouse driver, the mouse and the keyboard no longer works.

    The computer is running Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

    The computer is one that I built several years ago.

    I tried the things:

    1. I tried the ALT, left SHIFT + Number Lock which is indicated as mouse keyboard operation who has worked in the past.

    Well it does not either from the keyboard is dead.

    2. I tried PS2 Mouse and a keyboard.

    3. I tried a keyboard and a USB mouse. The system shows new hardware found and he wonder then click NEXT to load the driver. No mouse, no keyboard, so no click.

    4. I can't get into the bios, because I can't hit keys to vector in the bios during startup.

    5. I tried to load the Windows XP disk, but the startup routine ask me to hit any key to boot from the CD.

    I have no mouse or keyboard control and therefore cannot respond to any action required by the system.

    Does anyone know a way to solve this problem?

    Solution of my wife - buy a new computer.

    Have a better solution for this problem?

    Thank you

    Always try a PS/2 keyboard.  Maybe your PC is not able to access the BIOS, because the keyboard is USB.

  • ARC mouse and wireless keyboard to stopped working after update

    On Tuesday, my keyboard Microsoft's ARC mouse and wireless are busy to my desktop HP running Windows 7 Ultimate.  Since then, there has been a number of updates installed and the ARC keyboard and mouse are no longer works.  I got out my old clumsy Laser Keyboard 6000 and plugged in and it does not work this is how I write this.  But enter the Device Manager or the installed Microsoft keyboard application does not show the ARC keyboard or a mouse as even installed.  I plan to do a system restore, but I probably need security updates installed on 4/14.  Ideas?

    UPDATE:

    Thanks for the suggestions.  I would have thought than to simply unplug it disconnected and reconnected the cause would detect automatic to reinstall drivers, as suggested by @cookie7746 - but it was not detecting the keyboard and the mouse at all, even at the start of the system when only the BIOS is running.  Who told me I could have a hardware issue not only a software driver problem.  I followed him there down to a faulty USB Extender.  Not related to the software, but a hardware problem.  When I replaced the USB Extender that the connections for the mouse and keyboard of the CRA is well connected, everything works.

    So suggestion for those who encounter it: try restarting and during switching on, press the function keys that you use to enter the BIOS settings screen - it is usually CTRL/A or F10 or something - it will usually tell you in a message is displayed briefly that you start.  If it works, you know that you have a good physical connection and the problem is a Windows driver issue.  If this does not work, the problem is not with Windows - it's a hardware connection problem that can be caused by low batteries or dead in the camera (I had this happen to me) or something with USB connections.  Best suggestion at this point is to start eliminating things (like me) by unplugging it the USB Extender, I had these connected directly to USB ports on the computer.  With this process of elimination, you should be able to narrow down the problem.  Good luck!

  • Why my Fn key stopped working?

    I have a laptop Asus G73JH and the Fn key stopped working.  I tried reinstalling the drivers, update drivers, etc, and nothing has worked.  Any suggestions?

    In the meantime, find a work around. ASUS maybe provided a utility to exchange the keys F1 - F12 to be multimedia to be again the function keys control keys & back if necessary]. This would reduce your need for the Fn key.

    In a Valley, this utility is in Control Panel as a dialog Windows Mobility Center updated the. Try looking first in case they all are the same way.

  • on my laptop of his fathers ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there.

    original title: laptop trouble

    Good so recently on my laptop of his fathers has ' key stopped working and now he cannot get on his laptop because the password has a S in there. He tried to clean the key to bored all possible ways, and nothing works. He wondered if he had a Ctrl function that would allow him to put a s with the key or bypass the password lock. Also, it has no access to a USB keybored.

    If the account in question was not the built-in account named Administrator, and then log on to that account and go to control panel > users to change the password.

    The password for the administrator built-in account is blank (no password).

    To connect to the built-in Administrator account:

  • Touchpad and F9 keys stopped working

    The touchpad has stopped working and the F9 key does work more for the touchpad.  How can I fix it?  It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Other F keys still work.  There used to be a drop-down list on the desktop for the F keys, but it doesn't work either.  In the properties of the touchpad driver, disable is grayed out.

    Hello

    Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
    and Forums.

    Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
    http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
    are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

    You can also try this:

    You can download but not install the drivers before the the below if you wish.

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    REBOOT - it will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and USB stack. This does not prevent the
    Touchpad work.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
    and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.
