Envy 2 Since 8.1 update keyboard does not work right did several driver updates with no results?

I even restored to factory settings, can i go back to 8.0 if Hp and Ms can't get it right?

Pete,
The invitation to Upgrade to Windows 8.1 comes from Microsoft.
If you did not make backups, you might be able to order replacement Media from HP.
You may find Recovery Media at your computer's website.  Start at: 
HP Drivers & Downloads
If available, the Media has its own category: Order Recovery Media
==========================================================================
If you cannot find it, or you are outside of the US / Canada, you can call HP directly:
Worldwide Support Portal
Contact HP – USA - Phone Assistance
Warranty Required – USA and Canada
USA – Contact HP // Self-Help – Email - Chat
============================================================================
Microsoft does care about their customers.  Microsoft's enthusiasm for Windows 8.1 might have overshadowed their inclination to warn you that not EVERY computer on the planet is able to run Windows 8.1 easily - or, in some cases, at all.
The Envy 2, IF you are talking about the Envy X2 - one of various models, should be able to run Windows 8.1 if some precautions are taken ahead of time. 
For example:
Every driver must be updated to Windows 8.1 before you Upgrade
Most user installed programs should be removed
Most user settings should be set back to standard.  For example, set a standard background, do not expect your fancy Start Screen settings to survive, back up and strip the stuff from your Desktop.
All connected devices must be removed.
Security software must be removed.
You should not attempt the Upgrade without having the means to get back to where you started.  Translation:  Make Backups - Make Backups - Make Backups
The following might help you if you want to try again:
Upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
Good Luck!  Windows 8.1 is worth the journey if you can be successful.

  • My keyboard does not work right how can i fix it

    I have the iphone4 I bought from Verizon about 2 months ago and now my key board will not work right how do I fix this? I have tried to reset factory settings and all of that but it did not work! If I can not fix it my self will Verizon send me a new one ?

        That's a very important component of your phone, tiffanymoyle. Let's see what we can do to get your keyboard back up and running correctly. What issues are you encountering with the keyboard? Do certain letters not register when pressed? Does it make a difference if you turn your phone to function in landscape mode?

  • I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

    I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
    Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
    So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
    I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
    Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
    I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
    This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
    creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
    so it is completely unresponsive.
    I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
    I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
    Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
    may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
    but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
    I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
    I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
    And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
    Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
    Thanks

  • Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

    I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
    When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
    I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
    Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

    Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

    Hi everyone,
    hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
    Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
    After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
    I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
    I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
    I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
    I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
    Any idea ??
    Thanks
    Guillaume

  • After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

    Hello,
    A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
    Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
    The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
    I have:
    tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
    tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
    tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
    The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
    Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
    +The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
    +You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
    Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
    Sincerely,
    Daniel

    Hi MisterX,
    thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
    I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
    +Dear Toshiba,+
    +after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
    +My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
    +serial: 5B378048K+
    +Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
    +Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
    +Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
    +This would be greatly appreciated,+
    +Daniel+
    MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  • Update process does not work on Tabular Form

      --Database processing using the concatenated string here
    END;Also, both forms are opening in a modal pop-up dialog window.
    I use a Dialog Region plug-in for that.
    Please advise, what is causing a problem with update?

    Sloger,
    if this is your tabular form
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox (30,
    ...and this is your update statement
    FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*30*.COUNT
    ...Then you will only ever update records that have been checked. Unchecked checkboxes are not passed back in the global array. You need to have a hidden column with the ID's for the record and loop through that when you are updating/inserting. That is why the built in tabular form has a MRU and a MRD. the MRU loops through the hidden ID column. The MRD loops through the checkbox.
    Thanks,
    Tyson Jouglet

  • How do I uninstall the iPhoto update which does not work on maverick?

    How do I uninstall the iphoto update which does not work. ie it tells me my library is locked out and the recommended action by apple does not open the phot library first aid. ? i need to go back to the old iphoto.

    Terence, I was trying a way to message you directly - jumping on a recent thread seemed to be the only way (sorry, DEW45). 
    Terence, you seem to be the foremost expert on apeture and iphoto and have helped me many times in the past (thanks).  I have a question that you may be able to help with (anyone also feel free to take a stab).  I use blogger to upload my photos and host my blog (www.sippingespresso.com).  I spend hours organzing and editing photos - namely, I will enhance and sometimes alter an image in Apeture.  It always saves over the orginal file (at least for viewing purposes), which is fine by me.  But then when I go to upload the photos onto blogger it seems to always pull my dull, original image.  Obviously, I want the newer, bright, enhanced photo.
    I'm one step away from importing them, dragging them out of iphoto and into Photoshop, then editing the files and dragging them back into iphoto, deleting the originals and uploading from there.  There HAS to be a better way - please help!!  I've already posted far too many boring images without the beauty of Apeture's "auto enhance".
    Thanks in advance, Terence or anyone else. 

  • My keyboard does not work after cleaning :-(

    Hello, I have a MacBook Pro (bought in december 2009) an now the keyboard does not work after I cleaned it. This was on thursday and today it still does not work. Any ideas?

    Chances are that you've shorted the terminals on the keyboard, and will need to be replaced… When the keyboard on unibody MacBook Pro's is replaced the whole 'top case' will be done, trackpad etc… Now generally it is highly unlikely that the Liquid submersion indicators will have been activated unless the cloth was saturated with water. Also unless you purchased the AppleCare protection plan your MacBook will be out of warranty and will require an out of warranty repair.
    From knowledge out of warranty repair for a top case assembly it's £163 and a level 2 hardware repair is £28

    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.
