Windows 7 Won't Accept Password With Special Characters
May 7, 2012
Windows 7, won't accept a password I set to it for my HP 620, though with a special character; which goes for Kar's1990 --that's the password. Password that used to work flawlessly in weeks I have had it in use though until today after coming back from my morning routine, to boot the system, to find out every time I try to write "'" to complete the password properly, it instead adds another black dot to the input field in which case the form ends like: Kar'as1990 instead.
The keyboard isn't Spanish though configured, to international English, so to give me the special character without a problem. To throw as well, I had some virus attack yesterday; but swept them immediately. Nevertheless, I don't know if that have something to do with the keyboard no properly writing the a with the accent I'm seeking it to input.
I am puzzled by how to search for special characters in W7. I have some files that start with the Greek letter t I don't seem to find a way to make WS recognize characters like these for searches. When I type get no results at all. I have already tried with the advanced query filename:without getting any results.When I use Total Commander for searching for et all the results I am looking for, and I know that all these files are included in the Windows Search Index because they can be found if using some other parts of the file name, like for example searching for torrent it finds files with the name torrent.
Strange problem about a month ago maybe once every 4 to 10 days the PC boots up and all the characters are strange, instead of the usual alpabet they are spercial characters. I do a system restore and all is fine. If anyone has any thoughts on this as how to solve this short of reloading windows. I included a screen shot to help with understanding what happens.
I am trying to customize special characters map and make a list of favorites to use (just like mac characters viewer). Is this possible ? it is a pain to keep scrolling through the characters when I have to use them constantly in different applications (word, excel, indesign, etc.
I figured out how to do the French characters such as or , but i can't figure out the shortcuts for things such as or , even though the keyboard has buttons for them.
I have just bought an Acer laptop running windows 7 home premium 64bit. However, when running the preinstalled Windows Live Messenger 2011 on this system, special characters such as ☺ or ♫ do not show up correctly in the chat window, instead appearing as a blank box. They do however show up in the contact list for contacts that have such characters in their names or messages.
My netbook - a Toshiba nb305 - is inexplicably not accepting my password, nor that of my wife's who has a separate user account. We know the passwords we're inputting are correct, so have no explanation. We have ensured that the CAPS lock and NUM locks are off (and we've tried entering passwords with them on) so that's not the problem. I'm presently holidaying in Greece, and the netbook was working perfectly on the plane journey over here. Came to use it in the hotel, and it is having this problem. Tried starting in Safe Mode also but same problem occurs.
I have two computers, both use Windows 7, connected second computer to homegroup network but first one wouldn't connect to second. have now reloaded Windows on first computer due to other issues. Both computers see each other on network but neither will accept password to connect.
I need to view wifi password saved on my laptop to connect the I pod.This is my official laptop ,hence show characters box was disabled to find the password.
Very strange issue on HP Elitebook 8440p running Windows 7 Pro - 32bit: - Domain user logs in successfully after PC powers on - Goes into Standby mode while still logged in - Resumes from Standby by pressing the power button - Gets to the login prompt by pressing Ctl-Alt-Del - Begins entering password (which begins with an uppercase character), and is only able to enter *two* chars - after which all other keystrokes are ignored. The only way to login is to force the machine to power cycle.
I need to rediscover a network ASCII key on my computer. In Windows 7 , you can go into the wireless settings and simply click a box that says "show characters". Then you can see the key in ascii format.
But I am on a WinXP laptop right now. Is there a similar feature in Win XP ?
just bought a new computer with windows7 home premium os, and it wont let me load my old adobe photoshop v5, is there anyway I can get it to be loaded?
im trying to copy a file and it keeps telling me that i need administrator privileges (witch i have ) but apparently i need some sort of special permission and how to get it
[code] Four days ago I did a complete hard drive backup. On the 6th, and last disc I was told that it didn't properly close the session. 3 days ago something happened, while using Unlocker program to delete malware. My 2 user accounts would not open, until after I opened my admin account. So I decided to do a factory restore. I skipped the backup HDD, since I had just completed one the day before, and didn't was to chance backing up malware.After the factory restore completed, all was working ok. But when I tried to restore my HDD backup, the system said it was looking for a backup of May 15, 2011. I doesn't recognize my backup of 4 days ago.Is there any way possible to get Win 7 to accept the most recent backup??
Newly built computer, I'll update my specs in the profile shortly (done).Probably crashed 5 or 6 times.Crashed while gaming, crashed while not gaming, crashed while I was at the store.Could possibly blame xSplit for the crashes, as I can't remember if it's crashed while it isn't running.Different errors eachtime:DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL,PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (x2),UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP,KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.I removed one stick of RAM recently to test if it was bad, even though memory test didn't show any issues. All the crashes so far have been with both sticks.Is Windows 7 . . . - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? x64 - the original installed OS on the system? I installed it, newly built computer. - an OEM or full retail version? It's an OEM version from one of my Dell computers.
- OEM = came pre-installed on system - Full Retail = you purchased it from retailer - What is the age of system (hardware)? A few days, it's newly built. - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) A few daydit: One dump didn't get included. It was at C:WindowsMEMORY.DMP. It's roughly 500MB in size. Here is the results of running a WinDBG on it:[CODE]
I have an Acer that had Microsoft home Premium on it but no disks. I had to re install so I used the key that is on the sticker under the laptop but after installation I got the message that it wasn't the right key. So i followed the prompts that led me to a phone call to activate by giving a bunch of numbers that were sent to Microsoft and it still says invalid key. Their is no OEM key that I can find and I cant get recovery to come up. I have a copy of a Win 7 Home that I used to install but its not the original. Is their a way to use the original key somehow?
I have a non numeric proxy address that is working fine with iphone ios (manual proxy). I want to use this proxy on windows 7 but when i setup in internet explorer proxy, it doesn't work. So I have the port # and proxy address looks like this n8.example.com.Is there any way I can use this non numeric proxy in Windows 7?
I'm not able to get past the password login screen in Windows 7. It won't accept my keystrokes. I've tried doing a system restore, using F8 and using the last good configuration, booting from a Windows 7 CD, etc, with the same result.
I have tried to do a system restart and when it gets to the welcome screen login part my screen turned to a Red Screen with bright yellow text claiming that "The hardware on this computer has been deactivated" and to call my local provider. The message also says it's in 'Special Lockdown Mode'. I have the option of Rebooting or Shutting Down and even going to Safe Mode does nothing! I do believe this is a virus.
I've just downloaded the "Windows Live Movie Maker" for Windows 7.
My MP4 video had no issues. However, Movie Maker won't accept my pre-recorded MP3 audio - what's up with that? It was recorded on XP then put on a USB stick and brought to my Win 7 PC. Would that effect it? How can I fix it?
If not, how can I get my MP3 working? I never thought MP3 would be an issue.

I have a Dell 570 AMD dual core 3.0Ghz with a hard drive with windows 7 64bit. I want another hard drive with another OS on it to dual boot from. I got a blank formatted NFTS drive and plugged it in along side the win7 one. I popped in the win XP disc and turned on the PC. It tried to run from the disc, started the winXP utility and then got an error saying to unplug my hard drive I just put in. Then it started the win7. I tried this with another blank formatted drive and got the same thing. I then opened the case and unplugged the win7 drive and just had the blank one in and same thing happened. I then took a different drive with winXP on it already and plugged that in with the win7. No dual boot option came up and when i forced it to boot from the winXP drive it started to and then got an error. Its like the PC wont accept anything but the win7 drive. I know all these drives work well. They do fine on my older pentium 4 PC. the drives I tried are 2x 80GB and 1x 120GB, all SATA. the one with win7 on it is 500GB SATA.
new win 7 install. Tried to move special folder from ssd to hdd.Create a new folder on the hdd with the name of the profile. I then assumed when moving folder into it they will be automatically created-> moved "downloads" folder first and selected that above folder without creating a "downloads" folder in that one and select that one. I realized something went wrong and wanted to move it back. On moving it back i made the same mistake, so the whole user profile folder is now the download folder and it is called "downloads" and not after the user name. However right-click does not work on that one. Can't change the path or move it.
i resently had my laptop reinstald from vista to windows 7 (my C was full and i had nothing instald on it, its just up-dates, so it was needed)the problem now is, before if some games dont work as the sims 3, i just opend the system en opend the advanged to add the sims in a list that DEP allows it
but for some reason i cannot do that now, the text below command about needing to be admin (wich as only user on the lap i am), and run the BCSEDIT.exe.i run it (even as admin) but it the problem keeps going on.i noticed some ways to turn the DEP off on this site, but that seems a bit extreem (as that people most of the time warn that its not the best option)
A program I use frequently (VuePrint) refuses to let me change the .ini file to a particular opening directory. There is a line in the .ini "Directory=C:" I have attempted to change it to "Directory=C:User1UserDownloads" to no avail. I have changed the file logged in as "Administrator" and as the only "User" of the system. Once or twice the change worked, but at next log on, the .ini file had changed back to the original setting. I have searched the registry and no .ini file reference is there. Yes, I have saved the file using both "Save" and "Save as."
When I'm away from my home office, I like to use Remote Desktop Connection to log on to 3 of my home computers. I have done this before without problems, but this time I found that I could connect but the remote computer would not accept my login even though I was using a user name and password that I knew worked for logging on locally. I was going to come here for help, but I figured out what the problem was before hand, so I thought I would post what happened just in case someone else runs into this problem.
The problem was that I had gone to the control panel and changed the username from what I had used when the OS was installed. This is a no-no because some aspects of the original user name are permanent. I accidentally discovered this when I went to computer management and clicked on local user and groups and saw two different names. One under column name, and the other under column full name. When I changed the full name back to the same as name, everything then worked fine with RDC.
Every time I go to set someone up with a live mail account and use their in existing email address the wretched program will not accept the address they already have and keeps requesting that it has to be set up as a hotmail one. If I ask it to use their own address it comes with some rubbish aboout being in anaothe domain or something. Am absolutely sick of this program why in the name of reason cannot the damn thing just accept the persons existing address. I mean no one wants to start letting everyone else a new address to send to them especially if they have a lot of contacts. I set my own up so what is the go with it now and this one and only feature makes cleaning up someones machine a nightmare.
