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Step 2: If outdated security software, can cause this problem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

  • 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.

  • Microsoft wired keyboard 500 & Windows 7 x 64

    I use a microsoft wired keyboard with windows 7 x 64.  The software/driver provided by microsoft for this configuration (ITPx64_1033_7.00.260.0) does not work correctly.  The software is supposed to programs other than the default value to allow you to reasign dedicated keyboard keys (mail, calculator, etc.).  However, most of them have no effect.  Any ideas?

  • Safari Web Clip does not properly

    Hello everyone

    I have a problem with safari Web Clip and that is does not properly for almost all pages, as example, I participate in a contest of therapy dbrand/unbox, and I really don't want to open the web page, whenever a new winner is announced, so I created a web clip, but it does not work well When I click the web clip icon he asked the location of the clip and when click on done, the web clip is from a different region and I can't fix.

    Is this some sort of bug or can I fix it myself?

    Web Clip still didn't work if the cut element remains in the exact same on exactly the same site. This is apparently not the case here.

    Dashboard widgets in general, are an old technology that has not been updated in many years.

  • Toshiba 47L7453DG - CEC does not properly using exernal amplifier

    I bought Toshiba 47L 7453 a few days ago.

    It is connected to the amplifier Onkyo TX-NR535 but CEC does not properly. Volume control works fine but On / Off or stanby does not at all.

    My previous TV Toshiba 42XV635DG was communicated by the CEC with the Onkyo even without any problem.

    The wire connection is HDMI 1.4 certified.
    Maybe the problem is with the firmware of the TV.

    Maybe someone had the same problem.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you

    Hello

    From my point of few TV and amplifier are connected some CEC (Volume control) functions that work. I think you should check the auto power settings and HDMI CEC standby control system.

    Manual, you will find some important notes:
