The ALT Keys on my USB Keyboard used to work perfectly fine until around the 1st. I'm unsure of what caused this issue.The computer I'm using is a laptop and both of the ALT keys on the laptop work perfectly fine.The USB Keyboard I have has ALT keys but those don't function at all. They used to, but not anymore.I've tried checking and unchecking sticky keys, looking at the On-Screen Keyboard, uninstalling, rolling back, and updating drivers... full system restores to middle of last month which is about a week before I suspected it stopped working.
Ever since I installed Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite computer, the keyboard unexpectedly stops functioning at times, perhaps once a week. The only solution is to restart the computer.Windows Support says for me to call Toshiba, and Toshiba Support blames it on Windows. It seems obvious (even though nothing is obvious with computers) that the keyboard is in working order - since I can type 99 percent of the time - the glitch has to be with Windows.
Last night my keyboard and touchpad stopped working on my laptop and now I'm using the usb mouse and the "On screen keyboard". I have done a system restore but to no avail. I've also taken out the battery (found in another thread) but nothing. In device manager there is an exclamation mark next these:1. Under keyboard. keyboard device filter2. Under mouse and other pointing devices. ELAN PS/2 port smart padDouble clicking both of them gets these properties for each respectively:1. Under keyboard. Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)2. Under ELAN PS/2 port smart pad. This device cannot start. (Code 10)The laptop is an Asus x53sv running win 7 64bitI made a recovery disc (in fact there 5) when I first got it but using that wipes the hard drive C:. I know that for XP there is a repair program which you get to by following the procedure for doing a re-install but you have this option which doesn't wipe the hard drive. I've used it.Does something similar exist for Win 7?
my keyboard and mouse doesnt work when i boot my pc..but when i tried it again and again only my mouse will work but during startup repair it will not function again...whats the problem with my pc? is it the mouse and keyboard or its inside the cpu ?
Whenever i plug in my ethernet cable my keyboard stops working (g19 logitech). I can see the lights on the keyboard and screen but it stops functioning and i have to unplug/replug usb for it to be back to normal.
I have tried repeatedly to get my USB keyboard and mouse to function after booting into windows 7 64 bit.I also have one ps/2 keyboard Port .There is USB mouse attached to that via USB - ps/2 adapter ( do not yet have a ps/2 keyboard)There is no ps/2 mouse port on the motherboard.My keyboards and mouse work fine in bios and legacy usb is enabled.The motherboard is an asus striker 2 extreme and in addition i have a striped Hd on which there is some data i dont have backed up and need to access.
The USB ports work only in Bios. I have tried booting in safe mode and with a normal boot, i just get stuck at the password screen. How do i deal with this problem if i have do not have a ps2 mouse port on my motherboard?
My other problem is that all my data is on a striped raid configuration and probably not that easy to access otherwise i'd pull the hd and retreive the info. Most of my data has been backed up, but i do have some work data that i need.
I have exchanged two keys on my laptop keyboard .... (Windows 7)" was exchanged with the @ ........ as I was used to using a UK keyboard. I am passing that laptop to my daughter, as I have a new one. I set the keyboard back from UK English to English Australia. but it doesn't seem to have changed the keys.
I've an Acer Revo running Windows 7 as my HTPC.Everytime I type certain keys on my wired Acer keyboard it displays numbers instead of letters or it displays the wrong letter. This happens for certain keys e.g. when I press 'u' I get '4' and so on. Why is this happening? I understand you press certain function keys together it can change the keyboard settings. Is this true and how do I turn it off?I know it's not the computer as I normally used a remote connection to access the PC and typing this way works fine. I only have this problem when I use the computer directly with its wired keyboard.
since the day i have windows 7, i started to notice sometimes my microsoft ergonomic keyboard 4000 v1.0 right side keypads close to ``enter key`` wont work properly. for example the question mark turns into. but everytime when i restart the computer, problem solved. i tested out with my other computers with windows xp for a few days, no issues at all.
I have a Dell Vostro 1050 with 2Gb RAM and 320 HDD space. i bought this laptop new and it worked for just one day and the following day when i started it in the morning after like 5 minutes, nothing was responding. i mean the curse wasn't moving, the key board keys not working and nothing was responding till when i had to long press the power button and turned it off. Turning it back on it worked for the next 30 minutes, then it froze again. i have tried changing the RAM chips and Used Different HDD's but all in vain.
I’m having some problems with keys sticking with windows 7 while playing games .
While in-game I have found that some keys "stick", the keys are NOT physically sticking on the keyboard but the effect is the same.
The effect is most prominent in 1st person shooters. When running around the keys will seem to stick. When letting go of a key (e.g. WASD, arrow keys, Ctrl and other common command keys) it is as though the key is still depressed for another 2ish seconds.
I first noticed this in old games such as Original Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena (yes I am aware how sad it is to still be playing these games) but with further investigation I have similar problems with more modern games such as WarHammer 40,000 Dawn of War (plus expansions) although this seems only to be with command keys such as the Ctrl key.
I originally noticed this with the windows 7 RC version but assumed this was a bug. Since I have now upgraded to the released Windows 7 PRO I still find the same problems....
Anyone else discovered these problems?
The keys are NOT physically sticking on the keyboard
I have tried using another keyboard
and since writing this I have noticed the problem with the Ctrl key is apparent in FireFox aswel but I am unsure if this is a problem with other web browsers.
Some keys on my keyboard are not responding to actions. The keys that I know are still working are `,1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,-,=,q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i,o,p,[,],,s,h,;,',x,c,b,m,,,',the Space bar,backspace, and the Caps lock. I'm using On-Screen Keyboard to type this.
All function keys (1st row on keyboard), several number keys (6, 8, 9 on the 2nd row) and the left Shift key do not response; I checked keyboard driver is updated, connection good; I tried troubleshoot hardware and devices but problem not fixed, seems nothing detected I tried System Restore, but the blue screen saying files and settings being restored stayed for an hour without an end, so I had to stop it?
I cannot use the CTRL and W keys on my keyboard. I have gone through all of the regular uninstall the keyboard and all associated drivers with the computer and none of it has worked. I am using the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000.The batteries have also been changed with new ones and that did not fix it. I have also done a Windows Restore to a previous time when it did work and that did not help. I have no other keyboards to test with at this time either.
I have a 32 bit laptop and did a clean install upgrading to 64 bit. The FN keys no longer work and to print @ I now have to press shift and 2 instead of shift and @.Can anyone help please? I have tried the Samsung Support site but cannot find a driver for the NP-X22 laptop.
I was randomly playing a game, then all of a sudden my keyboard started typing weirdly. Eg. when i type a, e appears and when i type e, L appears. I went on control panel and the keyboard was still set to "English (United States) - US" and the language was still set to English. I tried pressing Ctrl + Shift and that didn't help either, no matter how many times i pressed it.
I just had to do a reinstall of my Window's 7 and since have had a problem with 2 keys on my keyboard. When I use the apostrophe key, nothing happens, but when I type something after, it appears. It's no big deal really, but I'm rather anal and it just bugs me when something isn't working right.
I have used search here at SF and gone through the tutorials, but can't find anything that quite matches. I tried to update driver's but the little box on the screen tells me driver's are up to date. I checked Device Manager and it doesn't indicate any problem. I checked Keyboard in Control Panel and it says the device is working properly.
the only keys that do work are the three volume keys. Also I have a media center remote that came with my computer that does work for all the functions including play/pause. Can anyone help me fix the media keys on my keyboard?
i have an interesting problem. my keyboard's number keys on the top row sometimes do not work except for the 5 and 6 key. so i unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it worked!... for all of 2 minutes.
The @ and " keys on my keyboard are the wrong way round, in other words. when I type @ I get " and when I type " I get @. How can I correct this, to get the proper characters with the " and @ keys? I have tried every thing for XP, that has been Previously posted. but it does not work for windows 7
I just bought a new Saitek Eclipse III keyboard. There is no software to install or anything and runs of windows defaults. However, none of the normal alphabet keys or number keys work on windows 7. Although the multi-media keys do work on the keyboard.Yet, the keyboard work perfectly on my windows XP pc.
I admittedly know nothing about computers. My keyboard seems to maybe be in some weird settings where it wont type, will freeze up or certain letters are pulling up certain screens. Like hitting enter make the tools menu drop down or something makes the menu bar with file, edit and such open and the file tab highlights and flashes and freezes every thing and I have to hit esc or enter to unfreeze it, I cant type in the search bar online either, it takes one letter and redirects me to a webpage previously viewed with that letter and wont let me type anything. And also my number one key wont work at all.
i use a logitech keyboad k260 , what i don't like about this keyboard is the
