Suddenly my keyboard types the wrong letter or doesn't show anything at all. Also the wheel on my wireless mouse is shring the page when I scroll down.eg. When I type "n" I jump to a new page in Word.
My keyboard's typing "ny" instead of "n" and "bt" instead of "b". Incredibly annoying as this quick note, after all the backspacing, has taken forever to type!
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 have searched everywhere but can't find an answer I can understand in beginners (layman) terms. On my HP G62 355 DX laptop I used to be able to type a letter to a friend or business and then print it on my HP 1050 series deskjet printer. It would print as typed with paragraphs where I put them. NOW either the computer or printer picks the spot to begin a new paragraph, which is often in the middle of a sentence. The tool bar commands in Word seem to work except for the justify, paragraph selections. The only thing I have done differently is update the printer driver from HP. (not a place I like to go to, btw) But it started this before the update. Last night a post on a W7 forum made reference to Javascript being disabled (mine is) might relate to this problem
I have a new dell inspiron 580 with Win 7 Home. Everything was great until about a week ago.When playing games, all my keyboard inputs come out as numbers, and they are not the same numbers, they cycle 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,1... (I press 'a' and 1 comes up, press it again or any other key and 2 comes up, again, 3 and so on) This makes it impossible to do online crosswords or move in any game that uses the wasd keys. The keys all work fine in office, explorer, or any place that just wants text.This is a desktop not a laptop so the numlock isn't the problem. i have swapped keyboards, updated drivers, turned off accessibility features, checked keyboard language setting, and nothing.
The only thing that I changed on the computer around when this problem started was changing anti-virus software, the 30 day McAffe trial was over so I uninstalled it and installed Norton Security Suite, which may be the problem, but i can't go back now.Has anyone heard of a problem like this with Norton, Win 7, or anywhere?I suspect Nortons anti-key-logger is messing thing up, but i haven't found any to turn if off or settings to change.
# and @ characters are typing wrong in Acer aspire 5745 laptop windows 7,64 bit.I also checked region and language. Also tries alt and num lock keys but nothing seems to work. I press #, appears £, when i press @ commas " appear
In XP (and Vista), you type alphebets to select a file or folder. For example, you are trying to access a file named "My file.txt", you type "m", "y" and it goes directly to folder or files start withm and y so it's close to My file.txt. This is convenient way to find a file you need.But, it's not the same in Windows 7 anymore. Typing anything will activate the search. It narrows down the files in folder window and it shows many unrelated documents and folders.Is there a way to disable that so I only search by keywords when I press Control-F while typing only takes me to the folder or file?
When I am typing at normal speed on the laptop keyboard, something really weird happens. In the middle of a word the next letter suddenly skips backwards and inserts itself randomly in the middle of a previous word breaking up the sentence until you try to correct it. Then it's back to typing as usual before it happens again! Laptop is under warranty but all they said they can do is replace mother board.
FIX (with SavePart, tried other partition utilities and editing MountedDevices to no avail)
Hope this helps someone else with Wrong Drive Letter Problems
Installed Windows 7 RC and all was well with XP Dual Boot.
After some experimenting(BSD,LINUX,etc), Windows 7 would not boot, so popped in the DVD and let Windows 7 repair the boot.
Windows 7 now booted, but when booting XP on E: , it was now assigned the wrong Drive letter D: and would boot to just before the Logon Prompt and hang(same in safe mode.)
After much research and trial (including editing the HKLM/SYSTEM/MountedDevices hive of the XP install from within Windows 7 to change the drive letter) this was the fix.
This particular XP boots from Partition/Drive E: in Windows.0 directory (yeah, i know, been this way for years)
some of the letters on my laptop do not work and it is realy a pain to use the on-screen keyboard! my keyboard worked fine yesterday!is there anything that i could do myself to make them work again Letters that do not work!! TYZXCVnM and the space bar?
Ever since I got this new PC with Windows 7 two weeks ago, I've had problems when typing text in applications, web forums, etc. I'll be merrily typing along and somehow a random combination of keys I hit causes some unintended action, such as the opening of a new window, switching focus to another open application, opening a different application, or activating some feature I don't want. Does Windows 7 and/or typical apps have tons of keyboard macros or shortcuts on by default, and how can I disable them?
All I'm doing is typing normal text, I swear I'm not hitting the Windows key or some combination of ALT_CTRL_X or anything like that. Maybe it's this crummy USB keyboard, is it possible that it interprets rapid keystrokes as the wrong thing?
