Laptop Keyboard Not Working Properly - Del Key Not Responding
May 16, 2007
My laptop keyboard suddenly stopped working he other day. I uninstalled the driver and rebooted and got most, but not all, keboard function back. I removed the keyboard and inspected it but there was no sign of damage or of anything having been spilt on it. Also prior to this there had been no sign of any problem. The key that is completely non functional is del but if I press t or g i get tg and if I press y or h I get yh. Also (in word) pressing [ or , or . causes the first letter is a series to be capitalised whilst - takes you to save file.

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. The keyboard will not respond in windows at the login screen, not even in to go into safemode. It will however work in BIOS, I rebooted several times, still no dice, held down the Fn key and hit keys to no avail. But at the login screen I can hit Fn+f8 and it'll toggle the screen from lcd to external and back, can also eject the cdrom. I am stuck cause i cant login to XP.
I had left my computer on when i left town for a day. When i was back the computer was at the windows login screen. I am assuming that at some point while i was gone an automatic windows upate may have been installed which forced the computer to reboot. the update may have messed up my keyboard drivers.
any help would be greatly appreciated as at this point im stuck!!!! thanks in advance

I was in the middle of typing and suddenly none of the keys work properly. Most of them won't type anything and the rest are jumbled. "c" will print "-", n will be 7, ";" will be the "page up" key etc. I've reinstalled the keyboard drivers but no success. language/region settings are US as always. no idea why it's suddenly scrambled. keyboard is microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.0A. batteries are fine. XP system. Please help. this is really causing a ton of trouble. I'm using software kboard to type this.

I didn't use the laptop for about 3-4 months and when I powered it on and it would not boot into Windows. It would get to the Windows 2000 start up screen and just stop responding after the status bar reach about 3/4 way. I tried booting into last known good config with no success and tried booting into Safe Mode with no success so finally I just decided to re-install windows from scratch. I was able to boot from CD and re-format the drive but now I get the blue screen of death after getting about 3/4 of the way through install stating something about a possible hardware change. There have been no changes to the hardware and I have tried several times with the same results.

After being away on holiday i return and ran SpyBot to see if my brother's downloading has put anything unwanted on my computer. It flagged up the usual things so they were removed. However it also started to pop up asking about allowing or denying changes to the registry.
I then started to get an error that meant double clicking on icons did nothing and a terminal error which was found in the microsoft debuger. I've no idea which one though as i ran the fix and thought nothing of it. It then prompted to run a malware sweep which took ages and flagged up 7 malicious files. I followed the instructions for removed and now suspect that this removed something from the registry that i now need.
The issue i now have is that nothing appears to work correctly. Firstly the taskbar disappeared, and while i've got that back the minimised windows sit on the top rather than being inside. Secondly MSOffice products like Excel and Word are showing errors about links and lastly i cannot access the web. I've tried the connection of the latter on another Pc and its all fine. I've looked through the msconfig and cannot see anything untoward.
My next steps are to try and run a 'hijack' log so see what is running by not sure what i'm doing with that and suspect it more what isn't running, eg its been deleted from the start up program.

Hi, I'm using win xp, sp1. When I go to start>run and type in something like cmd to open the dos prompt I see the window come up but it goes away after a second. the same thing happens when i type in regedit. now if I type in cmd.exe or regedit.exe it will work.
Another problem I assume is in the same category is when I get to the dos prompt and try to ping a site it won't do anything just go back to the c: prompt. If i type in ipconfig or do an nslookup it will work tho.
what to do here or what else to try.

I have downloaded eset nod32 antivirus, RestrictionRemoval Tool(RRT), Wndows Defender, PrevxCSI, Security Task Manager, and Task Killer just to ensure that my pc is not infected with some malware.My Nod 32 antivirus is out of date since i only used the trial version.The nod32, windows defender and prevxCSI have found that my pc is clean from any malware but one time, while i was surfing the net, i was trying to right click but there is no response as if some application is trying to block my right click.i tried to click the desktop and right click but still nothing happened.. i tried to open the restriction tool but a sound just keeps playing "the windows critical stop". i tried to open the task manager and the same sound plays. i tried the prevxcsi and still the same sound plays.. i try to open "my documents" only to find that my menu bar is missing and sometimes the "help" button is the only one there.

recently my computer has been doing some very strange things. occasionally i get a box popping up saying that something has been terminated unexpectedly and the computer will shutdown in 60 seconds, but this is quite rare.
the main problems are having unusual crashes and moments where the computer acts like the monitor cable has been unplugged and then plugged back in. also i am having internet connection issues much more frequently than before, and sometimes my computer just slows down to snail pace or the mouse hangs every few seconds for no apparent reason.
i have searched through my task manager processes and cannot find anything there out of the ordinary. i have tried to run Ad-aware and Spybot but the programs both crash when they try to update, the same thing also happens with AVG antivirus, the computer refuses to let these apps access the internet connection. I do have Sygate Personal Firewall installed and usually it would run at startup but now there is no longer the icon in the system tray, and when I try to boot it up from start menu it too refuses to load. however the process 'Smc.exe' which I understand is part of Sygate Personal Firewall is still running.
As for system specs, I have:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 gig ram
Geforce 6600 GT AGP
Soundblaster Audigy 2
ASUS motherboard
Windows XP Professional SP1
PS- I did have an idea why the spyware/adware/AV programs won't update, since recently my Sygate Personal Firewall seemed to forget which programs were 'allowed' or 'blocked', and I haven't run any of these programs since then. Now that I cannot access SPF to tell it to allow these programs that could be the reason they won't update. I am still at a loss as to why SPF/AVG do not load up on startup as they used to however.

I'm having problems with my computer, ImgBurn, uTorrent, RealPlayer freeze when I try to use them and LiveMessenger doesn't open at all, for some reason FireFox started working after restarting the computer, which I had to do manually because nothing happens when I press the shutdown or restart buttons,
I've had Avira detect and remove 3 trojans and restarted but my programs still won't run properly.
I was downloading a pdf file through torrent but I have checked the file and it seems to be clean.
Could anyone help me ? should I post a Hijack this log? and if so, which part?

Operating System System Model Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600) Dell Inc. Dimension 4700. I have a Microsoft Reclusa Keyboard that I bought December 26, 2008. Every time I press a g, the keyboard also adds a b. When I press the b it adds the g. This messes me up when I try to enter some passwords. Yesterday I unplugged it, took it outside and shook any dirt out, then I used compressed gas duster on it and let it dry well, but still doing it.

I just cant turn my laptop back on. I press the start button, I get a message "Windows didnt start properly" with all the usual list of options. I have tried them all "start windows normally", press f11, start with last configuration etc.windows starts for a few seconds, then it cuts itself off and back to former screen.so i never get anywhere. I tried taking battery out, leaving laptop time to cool down.nothing.

I have a Gateway laptop that won't boot up properly. Sometimes it will go to the Windows screen that has the bar at the bottom like it is loading and then it will just restart. But here lately it has been just going to the screen that asks if you want to start in safe mode and all the other choices. But it just locks up and won't go from there. I think that my hard drive is messed up. I just ordered a new hdd. Can I just change the hdd to fix it or is it something else?

I did system restore, and after my pc restarted, I was waiting for the system restore box that will say "Restoration Completed/Incomplete...", i waited for it for about 30mins or so and got frustrated... I turned OFF my pc manually... and when i restarted back my pc is working but there are problems.
-My system restore will open but it only has a clear white window.. nothing in it but white screen.
-I am not able to use the USERS window under control panel, getting the same thing for it, just a white window.
-My mcafee security program is also not working, getting that same white window.
i am able to see the title bar of the window but nothing else aside from that.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

.I would like to hook up two keyboards, to work independently of each other.
Due to the fact that I like to be speed productive, I love quick keys, and hotkeys and any type of key you can think of.
Now, when I place a second keyboard on my computer, it acts like the first. This is not the output I wanted.

The problem remains however. The @ key is actually the " key, and vice-versa. Also a couple of other keys are reversed too. I've looked everywhere on the net to try and reverse these problems but I'd rather not download a remapping program.
