Windows do not allow me to enter my password. specifically will not work some of the keys on the keyboard for the password.

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

As a wild guess, maybe you have a laptop and have helped with your NumLocks?  This would cause the j, k, l, u, i, o and p keys do not act normally.  If this is the case, try to hit the 'num lock' key once to disable it and see if you can now enter your password.

    Monday Nite I downloaded a driver site HTC syn my Android Hero phone. After extracting and installing the driver in the zip file, I tried to sync with my phone which was hook up my laptop. It did not work. Interrupt the synchronization process and I tried to check my email from outlook. Found it cannot send and receive mail. Open my browser and found that it disconnected. And so, using the LAN cable, fortunately, it worked. So I wonder what is happening to my function wireless on my laptop?

    Can someone tell me what I need to do? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Search for updated drivers and reinstall if no later by using the procedure below.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Security Center and updates of Windows do not work on Vista laptop

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista 1405E.    The Security Center and Windows updates do not work.

    I ran Norton Utilities to clean the registry and I deleted Norton Antivirus (completely, following the instructions from Symantec on the phone), but nothing has changed.  Any suggestions on what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    Should I remove S * PERAantiSpyware from my computer?

    If it is not necessarily - free SAS, but if all were fine with your computer (and it's not!), you should not have installed SAS because MSE includes a component of anti-malware.

    Should I install the [definitions optional updates offered by Windows Update MSE]?

    You pouvez install them but this is not necessary - assuming that MSE is installed & working properly... but I suspect that this is NOT the case!  See this FAQ: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/74e507b8-f6da-4eca-8ce7-d1aca7d3f1ba

    [Microsoft] Security Essentials is related to the Security Center?

    Yes. Security Center monitors the status of the firewall, automatic updates and Protection against malware (anti-virus & anti-malware; applications i.e. Microsoft Security Essentials).

    Translation: Since the Security Center still cannot be permanently turned on, there is a very good chance that MSE and Windows Firewall will not work correctly - despite the fact that we have now managed to get the computer fully patched to Windows Update and despite the multi-step fix, I had to make.

    In your case, there are several possible causes for this behavior:

    1. your McAfee subscription and/or your previous subscription of Norton AntiVirus may have expired before that you did something;

    2. do not run the remove McAfee & Norton tools at the right time; or...

    3. misguided use of registry cleaners.

    So, what can you do about it?...

    OPTION A: MSE support could be able to help you. Residents of the United States (only!) should be able to open a support incident free of charge by e-mail via this page-online https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/default.aspx?productkey=morrolaunch&mkt=en-us&st=1&wfxredirect=1

    Note: After selecting your option, language (e.g., English-US) and clicking the button CONTINUE, click on the EMAIL button, not the FORUM button!

    OPTION B (recommended): See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to the letter and in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

    IMHO your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

    I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering. I use Yahoo mail for junk and spam of the screen, empty the trash from Yahoo, then open the remaining notes with Windows Mail after the release of Yahoo. This has just begun.

    It is not clear if you use a POP3 server or an IMAP account - it sounds as if it were an IMAP.  I don't know how messages get tossed into the trash from Yahoo rather than be removed.  You could try to remove the account, closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then adding the new account.  This resolve sometimes strange questions.  Also check interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).
