Esc key not working in Mavericks.

Since installing Mavericks, my Esc does not work at all - not for anything. It does not remove the right click dialogue box, does not take a youtube video out of full screen, does not unselect a 'copy' field in Excel etc. Has anyone had this experience? What can I do?

Hi there
Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.

  • Esc key not working in windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook. 
    Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
    Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

    Hello siddharthmishra,
    You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
    Here is a link to device manager.
    If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
    Here is a link to a System Restore.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • ESC key not working in exe.

    Hi,
    I'm using Captivate 5 and after publishing an exe project, when we view it, I cannot close the full screen published exe project via the ESC key. Nothing happens. I've heard of the Enter key closing out exe files, but not about the ESC key not working.
    Help?
    Thanks!

  • ESC key not working outside PS in Vista...

    This haunts our users since we migrated to Vista. When Photoshop CS2/CS3 is running under Vista the ESCAPE key does not work correctly with other programs. When PS is running, the escape key works only when pressing SHIFT+ESC together. This is extremely annoying when multiple programs are used, what could be the root of the problem?
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem with a completely new installation of Photoshop CS4 on Vista 64-bit. When I remove all plugins, it works fine. But it's quite stupid to do it that way, isn't it? This is a complete list of my plug-ins, so you can check there is no third party

  • FN + ESC Key Not Working

    After reinstalling SSD and OS, I cannot get the FN+ESC key combination to work for Model/Serial Number.  I installed the SP5150.exe but did not work. I see some discussions about putting it in path, can someone please explain in detail? Thanks

  • CS4 Reset View Keyboard Shortcut (ESC key) Not Working

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this:
    Every keyboard shortcut in Photoshop CS4 works fine for me except one: the keyboard shortcut to reset view after using view rotation (the ESC key). Oddly, the keyboard shortcut does work in CS5 (I installed the demo). I've checked to ensure my keyboard is set to US English, which it is. I've tried resetting the Photoshop settings, and even reinstalling. Nothing. This particular keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to be one that can be changed through the keyboard shortcuts menu, and I have never customized the keyboard shortcuts anyway.
    Some more information about my setup -- I'm using an Intuos 4 tablet, and do use the wheel to rotate the view. However, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work when I use the tool with my mouse or the wheel on my tablet, so it seems unlikely this is the issue. Regarding my hardware acceleration, I have a current gen nVidia card with plenty of horsepower, and all other OpenGL enhancements work fine.
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Why F keys not working on wireless Apple keyboard on Mavericks 10.9.1 properly?

    Checked the topics about this issue but still haven't found a solution.
    The "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." is unchecked. Tried everything, also to reconnect the device via bluetooth, turned it off etc. but still not working.
    One of my Shift keys not working as well (the right one). Ony the volume keys that are working since i have upgraded to Mavericks.
    I have the aluminium wireless keyboard with two batteries without numpad (small keyboard).
    It is connected to a 27" iMac late 2009.
    Thanks for every reply.

  • Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
    This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
    Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
    I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
    Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
    The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
    Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
    Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Xardas,
    I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
    You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
    Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
    Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...
    ms ml - Nov 10, 2009 12:52am GMT
    Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
    Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
    yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
    hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
    However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
    yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
    Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
    Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
    all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

  • Windows 7 ESC key stopped working

    I've got a fully patched Windows 7 Professional Desktop computer that I've been using for over 2 years.  Yesterday my ESC key stopped working, which I first noticed when using Outlook and tried to close an open email window.  I checked the keyboard
    by moving it to another Windows 7 computer - works great.  I also noticed that other keyboard shortcuts that utilize the ESC key still work, like for example pressing Ctrl / ESC brings up the Start menu.  The problem is limited to functions that
    operate off the ESC only - like closing an open email in Outlook or closing an open photograph on Facebook.
    I downloaded a keyboard testing app that shows the key not working.  But when I install this program on another computer and move the suspect keyboard - the program shows that it does in fact work.
    I suspect something is wrong at a registry level - some entry has hijacked the key mapping.  I've spent several hours on Google looking at various suggestions - all to no avail.  I've tried updating drivers as a last resort - no change.  Remember,
    the ESC does work when used in a sequence involving multiple buttons.  Any suggestions?

    I've encountered a similar situation regularly: my Esc key just quits working in mid session, and I always forget what the cause/fix is. 
    I have this same keyboard for over 8 years now, and it always works fine, so no, it's not a hardware issue - these issues typically never are. Rebooting the PC always solves the issue, but rebooting a dev workstation, with a gazillion apps open is a PITA.
    Turns out in my case it's always Photoshop CS2 that 'kills' my Escape key; as soon as I close Photoshop, the Esc key functions normally again.
    Another issue I get is the Ctrl/Shift/Alt keys sometimes quit working; again, a reboot always fixes the issue, but rebooting is always a last recourse. Usually I just mash the Caps Lock/Ctrl/Shift/Alt; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I need
    to reboot...

  • IDVD is not working in Mavericks... what now?

    I am very upset that iDVD is not working in Mavericks! I need the ability to burn DVDs for family who is unable to access the internet. Any patches or fixes available to make this software usable again? I am very disappointed that Apple would do this without warning users that previously purchased software would be incompatible with the new OS.

    I am also having problems with iDVD under Mavericks. I have used iDVD for many years creating DVD's for family members and archiving our vacations. It worked great under Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion, but now Mavericks is a different situation.
    I have two basic problems, (1) after importing the video I want to use, I play it back to preview and a small band shows up at the top of the screen that is not in sync with the rest of the screen. And (2) when showing a slideshow using standard jpegs there are color issues on playback. Help,  I need my iDVD back!
