Hp Laptop Keyboard Keys Wont Work
I have a hp laptop which i often used almost every day, then i went on vacation and didn't use it for two weeks. Today i turned it on to find out that some of keys also use an other letter along with it for example when i want to use the letter "h" this happens "nh", for "g" its "bg" and switch it around for "n" and "b".

Toshiba Satellite A65 Laptop Keyboard Keys Not Working
I have a toshiba satellite a-65. It appears that the a, z, 1 and tab keys stopped working shortly after my cat decided to jump onto my lap, where unfortunately my laptop was currently at. My profile on the laptop is password protected. You guessed it, includes an a. So i cannot even log-in to windows (xp) unfortunately it is the only profile with administrator privileges. Any way to 1) get around the password so i can log-in to windows 2) fix the non-working letters?

Keyboard And Mouse Stop Working
My mouse and keyboard started to be non responsive. I would be in the middle of writing a sentence, but all of a sudden my keyboard and mouse would stop working, then about 10 seconds later start up again. It wasn't a total system freeze, because chat messages would still appear on msn, and everything would still move about on screen when i was playing a game. This happened on and off for about 1 hour, until i couldn't get the keyboard or mouse to work at all. I booted my pc this morning, but my keyboard and mouse still failed to work. It would boot into vista and xp fine (im dual booting), but they still wouldn't work - even before i could get into windows. I reset cmos, i tried switching out the ram but nothing seems to work, and the problem seems to be getting worse. About 5 mins ago, i tried to boot into xp, but my whole system froze, and my motherboard let out a faint single beep. When i boot up, i get a single beep telling me that all (should be) fine. Anyone ever had this problem? Or anyone know how to fix it? I have tried different keyboards and mice, and i've tried plugging the usb ones in different sockets, but it didn't make a difference.

Keyboard And Mouse Randomly Stop Working
I recently put together a computer(my first build) and i had no problems with it until now. It's been working for a couple months just fine so i'm wondering if it's just something going bad. My keyboard and mouse randomly stop working, and most of the time it's while i'm playing world of warcraft. The keyboard stops working except i can still ctrl-alt-delete to get task manager, and the windows key brings up the start menu. The cursor still moves when you move the mouse, but clicking does nothing.

Keyboard Keys Swapped
I purchased a new siemens fujitsu computer preloaded with winxp pro on. However a problem i'm having is that my @ and " are swapped around. But if you release the shift key
2 and ' are correct. Is there any setting or something i can do to correct this problem? I have tried another keyboard and it's still the same.

Keyboard Keys Do Not Work
For some odd reason my keyboard is not working correctly. Whenever i try to get a capital(hold shift) it does something else. When i push l key its logs out. And more of this stuff, its almost as if i had a multi-functional keyboard from logitech which has these options. But its a keyboard without these features. Does anybody know if there is something in xp which can do this?

Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Stop Working Randomly
Got a weird situation here, happened about 2 days ago for first time but keeps recurring more and more often, forcing me to hit the power switch to reboot. My dell wireless keyboard and mouse (new batteries) will suddenly stop working almost entirely. I say almost entirely - on the keyboard the 'windows' key and 'ctrl+alt+del' still work, but nothing else. On the mouse the cursor still moves but the buttons don't work. Basically it leaves me in a state of limbo. All processes continue to run fine on the pc - often i've had music in itunes keep playing for an hour after this occurs (i was attempting to wait to see if it was temporary). I've checked my conflicts etc. In the audio & controller fields. Right now i've only got my wireless keyboard and mouse, don't have any others to try a test with. I can't understand why it would suddenly freeze up. It doesn't happen with certain software, it has been very random, i've been tracking every instance since it started. Any ideas?

Keyboard Keys Are Not Functioning Properly
On the google website or any other site, where one has to type a query, when i type a word with the letter a, i.e. When i press the key 'a', it behaves like the backpage key. When i highlight a sentence, and press left control key and c to copy the highlighted text, just pressing the left control key, the sentence gets replaced by a open aphostrope. Is my keyboard hijacked by spyware?

Paint Over G15 Keyboard Keys
My keys for the g15 keyboard are starting to wear. Several of the keys have started to wear the black covering off. Though this doesnt affect functionality, it looks really bad. Is it possible to paint over it with a more durable paint, and if so, what are the fonts used on the keyboard so i can make masks. On a side note, i've been toying with the idea of changing the lighting in my keyboard, from all blue, to sections being different colors, like the qwerty and standard buttons being blue, the f keys being red, number pad being something else etc. Is that possible/how much power can i draw from the usb?
And another note, has anyone ever been able to change the lcd screen in the keyboard. I like the current one, but the response rate is complete crap and blurrs too much when i run custom profiles. And id like to have a finer res screen.

Keyboard Keys Does Not Response Correctly
This is strange, i've used this keyboard for years until recently, it acts so weird, the 'a' key and the '1' key and tab as well does not responce correctly. i.e. I have to pressed it several times in order to get a character after that it works fine, but later it happens again, really annoys me. I have just format my disk and installed windows 2000, that was not the cause right?

Keyboard Malfunctioning, Some Keys Stuck
My keyboard on my tower seems to some stuck keys on it (namely z x y c v), and i really need it to work. I never needed any drivers or anything, and it's a generic ps/2 keyboard i got for 10 bucks. Whacking it against the desk worked last time this happened, but so far no beans. My other option is to use my original apple imac keyboard. I tried plugging it in, and it works for about 10 seconds, cuts out, and comes back again, and this keeps on repeating. What are my options? I really need to get this working again, so i can use my pc.

Setup Keys On Extra Keyboard
This may be a challenging problem, but i am trying to set up a second keyboard (usb) that does functions as if the entire thing was a new set of function keys (f-keys). They must still stick to normal keyboard interrupts though, so using a com port or a game port would not work for me here. I was wondering if there's a good way to add on a control+alt to whatever i press, only on the second keyboard. For example, if i hit the 5 key on the second keyboard, i would like my computer to receive control+alt+5. A hardware solution here would be just as good as a software solution, but it must work for a usb keyboard.

Change Keys On Hp Ku-0841 Keyboard
How can i change the f1 - f12 keys on an hp keyboard (ku-0841)? I want to change the different keys on top (f1, f2, f3 etc) to open different programs. There's a fn key on the bottom, and i thought it might have something to do with it.

Keyboard Keys Press At Same Time Limitations
I've played games on cheap keyboards where i can only press so many keys at the same time, etc: go forward, duck, walk, strafe, jump etc. On a cheap keyboard i can only walk forward & strafe & duck, so if i try to jump, i can't because i'm pressing too many keys at the same time. Is there a program that will light up the buttons (like winxp joystick calibration) so i can see how many buttons i can hit at the same time? Or what keyboards will allow me to press more buttons?

Keyboard Keys Are Sticky And Hard To Press Down
Well green tea to be exact. And now the e and s keys are sticky and hard to press down. Literally just a few drops. I immediately turned the keyboard upside down and started banging on it to get it out, but i guess it just wasn't good enough. It's a saitek eclipse ii. Should i attempt to take it apart? Or do the keys pop off somehow, and if so, what tools would i need to pull them without damaging anything? Or am i just completely screwed?

Certain Keyboard Keys Not Working After System Bootup
Once i start my system and after booting up, some keys (especially the backspace key, the 'n' key, the arrow keys) don't seem to work. After a couple of minutes all keys start functioning normally. This problem is occuring for the past few days only. What might be the reason for the occurence of the problem and how can it be solved?

Sidewinder X6 Keyboard And Media Keys Problem
Im having a slight problem with my keyboard's media keys. Basically it went like this:
- I had winamp installed.
- I installed intellitype software 7. 0 (the driver for the kb)
- All worked just fine, i could skip tracks, and play pause anytime, anywhere, just like i should be able to.
- I upgraded winamp to the latest version.
- Now the media keys work only when winamp is the active window. Any other than that, and they don't work at all. Though mute and the volume knob work just fine. When i go to winamp > preferences > global hotkeys.
I can see that the actions the media keys should be bound to, have a red x next to them, and even though i tried setting them manually, nothing happens. If as if the keys are not registering properly, or something. I realize i could use the global hotkeys and just be done with it (which is what im doing in the meantime) but its kind of pointless to do that, seeing as i have the media keys right there, id really like to sort this out and use all the potential of the keyboard.

- Now the media keys work only when winamp is the active window. Any other than that, and they don't work at all. Though mute and the volume knob work just fine. When i go to winamp > preferences > global hotkeys.
I can see that the actions the media keys should be bound to, have a red x next to them, and even though i tried setting them manually, nothing happens. If as if the keys are not registering properly, or something. I realize i could use the global hotkeys and just be done with it (which is what im doing in the meantime) but its kind of pointless to do that, seeing as i have the media keys right there, id really like to sort this out and use all the potential of the keyboard.

Keyboard Keys Are Messed Up - Get Unknown Letters ƒ±ƒ
When i use my keyboard some of the keys are messed up. For example when i push the colon, semicolon button i get these unknown letters / characters ƒ±ƒ'. When i want this & instead of shift 7 i have to push shift 6. This has just recently started. Is there a way to fix this?.

Dell Sk-8135 Keyboard Keys Not Working
I bought one of these keyboards a while ago. Dell sk-8135. When i got it, a number of keys barely worked. I say barely because if you held them in for a while, or just bashed them around a alot, you would eventually get a keystroke out of them. So i got a replacement sent to me, and it played happily for 2 months or so. Now, the new one is doing it too! It's doing it to these keys:
E, r, i, o. On the old one, i remember it doing it to the d and l keys as well. It's such a pain. If you bear with it for a while, eventually it will fix itself. I don't get it, as trying other models of keyboards, i have no problems, but this model just doesn't want to play nice. There are no drivers available for it, and i've tried re-installing the current ms drivers. Also tried another usb port. Any suggestions?
