Eject Key Won't Work while in Windows 8

I recently installed Windows 8 on my i-mac. I installed all the correct drivers needed from bootcamp. All my other function keys work except for my eject key. I have programs that use multiple disks to install. the only way i can eject disks is by right clicking and telling them to eject through the windows folder. During installation of the multi-disk programs the screen is taken over by them and i can't get to the windows folder to eject the disks when the next one is needed.
Please Help!!!
I have already looked through the forums but can't find any solutions to my problem.

Hi, this says it's for Vista, but might it work for you?

OSX 10.4.9 - Keyboard CD Drawer ejection key won't work

I've two G5 Power PC's. Neither cd drawers will open after the latest OS download from apple. Anyone else experiencing this?

The Eject key now requires a longer keystroke to open. Is that right?? On my Mac it still would not work.
After hours of searching the Net and checking all my settings I found that it would not work because I have Slow Keys on as an accessibility feature to assist me with typing as I have a tremor in my hands.
Not Happy Apple!! Now I can either have easier typing or a CD drawer that functions... go figure!

[Enter] key won't work when installing Windows...

I went to install Windows XP today and once I get to the screen where it tells me to hit the enter key to start windows, my keyboard doesn't work. I was able to hit F6 earlier in the installation, so it works early on during the installation, but once I get the prompt to hit enter, nothing. Last time I installed Windows I used an external keyboard, but I'm without one. I may have to borrow one and try again.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Solved it! Unplug all your USB devices. For some reason, my keyboard stopped working because I had USB devices connected during the install. Once I removed all devices, I restarted it, and was able to hit the enter key and continue. Some 5 hours later I had XP Pro installed with all updates.

Eject key doesn't work

I erased my hard drive on my G4 Quicksilver to get it ready to sell but something went wrong and now the eject key won't work.
This computer came with OS 9 and OS X already installed and I wanted to install both systems again after erasing the hard drive. I wanted to be able to boot up into both systems like before.
The first time I did the installation I found I couldn't boot up into OS 9 so I figured I had forgotten to check the Install OS 9 Driver box.
The second time I tried to do the install I got to the point where the Install Disk 1 was ejected and I was asked to put in Install Disk 2. I took out Disk 1 and then I was interrupted and had to leave the room. When I came back a few minutes later the disk tray had closed without Disk 2 being inserted and I couldn't get it to open by using the eject key.
I think that in order to get OS 9 back onto the computer I will have to use the other 4 disks I have that are labeled Software Restore Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. Not sure what the right order is to do this.
However I can't do anything until i can get the eject key to work,
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks

Thanks Tex, I got it to work somehow I bumbled through again. I got the tray to open by using the f12 key. I was able to continue installing the rest of the disks and then updated everything. I repaired permissions and after all of that the eject key started working again.
I appreciate your help., thanks for the article it will come in useful.

Fn Keys and Eject Keys Don't Work in Windows

I'm fairly good to go with Snow Leopard and Boot Camp and on installing Windows on my wife's 13" MacBook Pro that I finally convinced her to get, I had a "hard drive not big enough" during the SP3 update BUT found a solution for that, however, all the threads I read on the above topic related to Boot Camp versions of the 2.x genre and I have 3.x genre. So, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this on the Windows side?
- All function keys (excepted F3) are non-functional.
- Eject key does not work
- No right click of any kind other than with a mouse
- No scroll features
- No Boot Camp icon in the tray
Lastly (and just an add in) on the OSX side, her Mac HD icon was not there since the Boot Camp assistant was launched AND dummy me (I did this once before - I know idiot) tried to drag it from Finder to the desk top and exploded it. So, how do I get the Mac HDD and icon back in both Finder AND the Desktop.
Thanks in advance for those who have an offering.

Actually I didn't trash Boot Camp, it never populated in the tray after the install. Moreover, the thing i destroyed was the MacHDD from the desktop and from the Go Finder listing and want to get that puppy back
Boot Camp is running just that the F keys other than F3 are not functional nor is the Eject key . . PLUS . . as I say there is no tap to click, not two finger scrolling, and no 3 or 4 finger functions operational features.
Please help!

Upgraded OS from Windows 2000 to XP, now my Registration Key won't work

Any reason why my registration key won't work when I upgraded my OS from Windows 2000 to Windows XP? Oh, and I also upgraded the QuickTime application.

QuickTime 6.5 registration will not work with QuickTime 7.
You'll need to purchase a new "Pro" key or revert to QT 6.5 Pro.

Page Up and Down keys won't work - have tried everything

My Page Up and Down keys won't work. I've tried hitting F7, the Fn key, checked that the "Always use cursor keys to navigate" box is not selected in the Advanced Options tab and made sure that the "Use autoscrolling" tab is selected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, tried hitting buttons F1 through to F12 and then checked that accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret is set to 'true'.
It also won't work in Internet Explorer - I have no idea what else to try. My Up/Down arrows are working, just not the Page Up/Page Down buttons. Please help, this is driving me nuts. It's only just started happening; I've never had a problem with it before!

What is the value of the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret accessibility.browsewithcaret] on the about:config page?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Upgraded OSX 10.3.9 to 10.4.10 eject key no longer works?

I recently upgraded my dual 800 MHz Power PC G4 from 10.3.9 to 10.4.10 and have had several small problems I am trying to work out as follows:
eject key will not work on apple pro keyboard....tried two other keyboards and none of them worked...you can eject the disc from iTunes and other software driven apps
can no longer print on CD's or DVD's to my Epson Stylus Photo 960 using Epson Print CD software and driver version 1.56 or new beta2 version 5.0.0...suspect this is a Classic problem as the software runs in Classic mode.
Any help would be much appreciated....I really need to use the eject key and would like to print on DVD's again!
Thanks

You have to hold the eject key for a few seconds unless you are using it in combination with another key.

Arrow Keys Won't Work on Many Websites

On many game sites, the arrow keys won't work at all, so I'm not able to play. The hardware is fine, they work fine in email and Word, just not on the game sites. Do I have a setting wrong? I've checked everything (I think....)
Thanks!!!

The arrow keys are working for me in the game on http://www.ezone.com/games/jazzy/gamecode.htm. The arrow keys work slugishly for me in the game I tried on www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3350.html. The third sight seems to require registration so I did not try it.
Freeonline games was more responsive for me using Firefox, you might want to give this browser a try and see how it behaves.

HT1379 Some keys won't work?

What causes some of my keys not to work?

You'll need to provide some additional information .... what keys won't work, what is running on the system when that happens, does it only happen after an event, like waking from sleep or ? If you reboot or shut your system down and restart does that fix it for some period of time?

my 8 key won't work when I press it to put in my password, what can I do?

Presumably you are connecting it from the *Dock Connector.* In this case, the controls on the car stereo should be controlling the iPod and the iPod's controls are disabled.
If you are using the car's connection interface, consult the car manual to find out how to control the iPod. If you are using an adaptor between the iPod and car, ask the adaptors installer or manufacturer.

Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.
