I cannot deactivate the on screen keyboard. Occasionally there is an arrow next to it and I de-select and push apply but with no luck. More often than not there is no arrow in the box next to it and then when I log in to my user there it is again. This is exceptioanlly annoying for I only pushed on it the first time just to see what it look like.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've tried everything to try to reduce my on-screen KB to it's default size,
including 'system restore (4 times), which failed for some reason, shutting
the whole thing off, restarts, etc. I have no idea what I did & it currently
falls off the 18" x 20" screen so that I can hardly find the menu to 'exit'!
How in the world do you turn off the on-screen keyboard? The OS is Vista Home Premium. Every time I boot up the system, there it is. Is there a way to disable, stop, or kill this?

Certain keys are not workng right. I tried changing the kboard language in the control panel and that didn't work. I checked on my manufacturers website for a driver but i don't know which driver is for the keyboard. I have an Acer Aspire 5610.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI currently have Vista Home Premium. If I do an upgrade to Windows 7 I understand that Windows 7 will deactivate the Vista product key. OK, so in the future, if I have to reload Windows 7 because I have replaced the hard drive, how do I reload Windows 7 using the upgrade DVD?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have searched this newsgroup (as well as Google) and have found many items which are similar to this situation, but nothing quite exactly the same.
In my office I have 9 of the exact same computer (Dell Optiplex 755),all with the exact same software setup (Vista Enterprise 32bit).This issue is happening on only 1 of the computers (which leads me to believe that this is NOT a driver problem).
The user has her computer set to require a password when the screensaver is activated (normal windows screen saver, not some 3rd party program).
When the screen saver is activated, it locks the computer and the monitor goes black. All is well.
When she is ready to unlock it, she hits alt-cntl-del. 7 out of 8 times, the screen comes back to the logon screen where she can type in her password, and unlock the computer. But 1 time out of 8, the monitor will be totally black except for the arrow for the cursor.
She can move the mouse around fine (indicating the computer itself is ot toasterized).
Things we have tried:
* about 1/2 the time, unplugging the video plug from the computer and
plugging it back in will restore the picture (note that simply turning
the monitor off then back on *never* works).
* typing her password on the black screen will sometimes work (my guess
is that the prompt is in the right place)
Other than this issue, the computer works fine (meaning there aren't
other symptoms that indicate other problems).
My laptop started freezing up some times lately, but yesterday I turned it on and got the Blue Screen. Now, whenever I turn it on, it boots directly into Safe Mode. Problem is, at the login screen it will NOT recognize my keyboard or mouse, making it impossible for me to login. I have confirmed that my mouse and keyboard are fine because they work when I launch the boot menu. I have run Startup Repair countless times, chkdsk a couple of times, but nothings working. I have the Vista CD that came with my laptop but I would really rather not completely reinstall Vista because I have many important documents and family photos that I have not backed-up.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried to search for a solution for this problem but i dont know how to word the query. So i restart my machine and every things going good video display and i can press del to get into the bios, i can move around in there and change whatever. Once vista loads the keyboard and mouse still are receiving power (lights are still on) but are non responsive. Ive tried reseting the cmos and puting everything back to defaults in the bios menu but to no avail. The weird thing is that it happened out of no where. It was working fine and my roommate (and i believe him) came home turned it on to find these problems. Its seems like all my onboard input/output connectors are not working.

View 4 Replies View Relatedcomputer is 4 days old.keyboard going funny for no reason.nothing loose.
trying to email and letters sometimes dont appear or get stuck.i'll look up from typing long sentence and its missing bits. does that make sense?
pressing the keys feels the same as normal,nothing sticky yet when writing it 'sticks'. or i have to type very very slowly to get a letter out.sometimes it works ,sometimes it wont but then will give me many of the same letter in a row ie repeating it depending on how many times i've pressed..
i phoned Dell and they suggested i turn off computer and restart-no good.
and then said try a different keyboard so we can work out whether its that or a software program.
i dont know what to do now cos my old keyboard is wireless so i obviously cant plug it in like the current one.
how do i do this?
i am only a beginner so please can you only give really simple answers with detailed explanation/directions. its not my computer but my husbands so i dont know how any of it was set up.
I recently had to reinstall vista (too many problems to mention!) but now it has switched my @ " | keys when the shift key is pressed. I only want to return them to what they were before and have tried installing the english keyboard but that hasn't helped.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just recently built a new PC and I am installing windows home premium 64 bit for the first time on a PC. When installing vista everything was normal until there was a reboot in the installation. After the reboot it sent me to a windows error recovery screen where I am unable to select anything using the keyboard. The default selection is start windows normally so I wait for the countdown to finish because I have no other choice. Then it boots up and says the following:
The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. So I click ok because once again I have to. Note: The keyboard is working again. This continues over and over again so I tried to reinstall windows again. I get the PC to boot from the DVD drive by using my keyboard and then it says: Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.
I am having a keyboard problem on the new computer. My keyboard [Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser] does not work when I run Vista Ultimate x64 normally. Every time I try to type in IE or Firefox, the program stops responding and then I restart the program and it yields the same results. I know the keyboard is not defective because I am using it right now in Safe mode and it is working fine. I have downloaded the Logitech Setpoint App. 64 bit version but there still is not any luck.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using a ps2 keyboard with no problem for months now. I have recently purchased a USB keyboard Eclipse II by Saitek. The keyboard is detected and usable in the Bios configuration buy when I get to the loggin screen in vistax64, it does not work anymore.
Saitek website says it should work with the default windows generic keyboard config. But my computer detected it as a Human Interface Device (Saitek Eclipse II) and asks for drivers? It does showed connected in the USB hub. Can I force it to use the generic windows drivers? Can I download some other drivers? The keyboard is basic with some fancy lights
I write document in english and spanish, so I have to use the US and the US-International keyboard layout. I have the keyboard bar active and use it to change layouts. The problem is the keyboard layout changes "by himself" constantly. I thought this was attached to the program I'm using, or the document, but it's not.
For example, I'm writing a WinWord 2007 document using the Intl layout, and using accents and everything. Suddenly, I try to use another accent or symbol, and it doesn't work. If I check the language bar, it changed to US Standard layout. I disabled the shortcuts to change layouts, so this is not the problem (I mean, accidentally hitting the shortcut...)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an HP TX2508ca convertable tablet laptop. I've had it for nine months and it runs on Vista Home Premium 32bit. Just yesterday I removed the keys and cleaned out the keyboard. After fixing the keys back everything was working perfectly. However, this morning things started to go a little crazy. There is only one account on the laptop and that is my admin account which is password protected. My password has the lower case letter " l " in it but they " l " key on the keyboard had stopped working. So I tried to type it in using the on screen keyboard but still nothing. I tried restarting and repairing but still no go. The letter " l " key just simply doesn't workk; be it on the regular keyboard or on the on-screen keyboard. So now, I'm locked out of my account because the " l " key doesn't work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the vista premium 64bit (only 2 days old) and the keyboard keys
have gone mental.
They replace shortcuts and after a reboot the non-working/"bad" keys change so its a different set of letters.
Sometimes F will open find computer while other times it wont,and sometimes L will lock the pc while other times it wont.
Ive unistalled,reinstalled,updated the drivers.Restored the system to two days ago.
Check all language settings.
After resuming from sleep mode the keyboard is inoperative [Dead].
To activate it is necessary to either "Restart" or click on "Switch User" Then all is fine.
