Keyboard in windows7

windows7 and snow leopard at the same time with parallels desktop on a new imac. Problem is that @ is not the sma button for windows. Where cab i find the @ key in windows? It's not the key left of the 1 (right side) I use a ultra thin keyboard with numbers at right side.

Hi bonnaffe and welcome to Discussions,
the 'standard' setting for @ on a Windows keyboard is Right-ALT-key + 'Q'-key.
Works for me with the older Parallels version I have.

  • Keyboard/Mouse battery icon????

    My TouchSmart 600-1055 uses HP's wireless keyboard and mouse.  The computer runs Windows7.  There is no mouse or keyboard icon in the system tray, so there is no way to see the state of the battery charge on the mouse or keyboard.  Windows7 is supposed to be able to monitor the battery charge of wireless keyboards and mice.  I checked to see if an icon is available using the "customize" option for the system tray.  There is no option listed.
    Is this something unique to TouchSmart computers running under Windows7?  Is there a fix for this issue?  I'd sure like to know when my mouse or keyboard are about to run out of juice!   Seems to me that this is an essential piece of information for a computer than runs with battery operated wireless keyboard and mouse!!
    Is there an HP or Microsoft fix available???

    2- the second is, the side volume buttons are doing nothing, I was wondering how to fix it
    The posted files for Win7 upgraded IQ5xx and IQ8xx machines in regards to the OSD/ACPI/Buttons don't work, this has been a problem since they were released.  Some folks get better results by going back and installing the Vista drivers for the OSD/ACPI/Buttons. (this is for IQ5xx and IQ8xx upgraded machines NOT the 300/600 series that ship with Win7 from the factory)

  • Hi there, can anyone give me a link to download bootcamp? I want to use my apple keyboard with my windows7 machine. I'm surprised at just how difficult it is to find this!! Any help much appreciated!

    Would really appreciate some help on this one. I've had a good search around... it's not clear to me where to get the 64 bit version of the driver install files.

    Thanks for your reply CSound1.
    I was using Windows7 so didn't have the stuff you mentioned. However I actually found that the keyboard pairs anyway.. apart from a couple of mappings (which I can live with) it all worked just like using any other wireless keyboard! Not sure why I thought I needed to over complicate things!
    Just need to go into device manager -> Add New -> Press Keyboard power button to get ready to pair -> Select -> Enter Passcode -> Bob's your uncle!
    Thanks for the help though!

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard not pairing under Bootcamp/Windows7

    My Apple keyboard that came with MacPro1.1 does not pair when using it with BootCamp and Windows 7. I installed bootcamp and Windows7 today. My machine is running OSX 10.6.8 and Bluetooth software version 2.4.5f3. The Apple mouse pairs under Windows but the keyboard doesn't. I have searched through forums and learned that I need to do the following:
    a- Change Bluetooth drivers under Windows to Apple drivers,
    b- First rename then remove both mouse and keyboard under OSX,
    c- Add both mouse and keyboard under Windows 7.
    d- Add both mouse and keyboard under OSX.
    During step c above, the mouse pairs without ant problem but the keyboard does not. The keyboard is discovered but does not ask for a code to pair as it does under OSX. I do not have Apple keyboardand Mouse firmware upgrade CD (why would Apple not provide it as a download?).
    Any ideas?

    Hi,

  • How do i link iPad as a wireless keyboard on pc windows7?

    how do i link iPad as a wireless keyboard on pc windows7?

    As far as I know you don't.  Certainly not to a PC.  This would require Bluetooth connectivity, and while iPad has bluetooth, it is intended to connect bluetooth speakers, headphone and keyboards.  There are certainly many bluetooth keyboards you can get for your iPad.  I personally like the Zagg Bluetooth Keyboard for my iPad.

  • T60 with Adv Mini Dock and USB FP keyboard Windows7 Issue

    I have been combing through these forums as well as others and I am unable to find anyone who has this issue.
    This only happens under Windows 7.  I have installed all the Lenovo drivers included in the System Update as well as the Betas but never can solve this.
    The problem occurs when I try to eject the T60 (8743) from the Adv Mini dock that has the USB Fingerprint Keyboard connected.  If I remove the keyboard before undocking it is fine and the machine undocks normally.
    Other than this issue, Windows7 works quite well on this system.
    Thank you

    Thanks for the advice Izzy.  After installing both sets of keyboard and hotkey drivers it does respond to most (but not all) blue Fn key combinations as marked on the external keyboard.  The blue ThinkVantage button still does not respond. 
    Oddly enough, I am able to use the Fn+F4 key combination to put it into sleep mode and to bring it back out, but when the display comes back I have no control of the UltraNav pad, track pointer, or mouse.  I had to open the TP cover slightly and use the pad to get past the login screen to the desktop.
    Incidently, just after using the UltraNav pad on the machine as it was slightly open a couple of messages popped up onscreen involving the USB port(s).  One indicated it was searching for a new device driver for a USB connected device, and the other indicated I could benefit from connecting the device to a high- speed USB port by unpluging the low-speed hub and connecting directly to an available high-speed USB port.
    Interestingly, I don't have any external hub connected. It may have identified the docking station USB ports as low-speed, which I don't believe they are...any ideas for what to do with this new set of issues? 
    Thanks, Mark

  • How do i get windows7 to recognize my mouse ands keyboard

    i made a windowspartition on a iMac. I installed the windowshelpfiles, but now windows doesn't recognize my mouse and keyboard. Not the usb-mouse and keyboard and neither the wireless apple-keyboard en trackpad. Any suggestions that give me a chance to move on?

  • Laptop keyboard and trackpad drivers for windows7?

    Just upgraded my bootcamp partition to windows 7.
    I am on a mid 2009 15" MacBookPro.
    I had to totally delete my XP partition, repartition, and reinstall.
    Boot camp wouldn't create support files so I followed the instruction in the formum to manually import and install bootcamp 4 support files.
    I finally got everything running smoothly except I have limited control of the trackpad, with no way to adjust anything via windows 7 control panels.
    and unable to use the top row of the keyboard like I could in xp to control machine volume, screen brightness, keyboard backlit brighness, etc.
    are there any specific drivers to fixes these issues.
    I came across one post that suggested downloading a program that would help remap the keyboard keys, but that would seem to be a second choice to having the proper drivers.
    Thanks

    Well tried to load the windows support software from bootcamp one more time, guess 5 times is a charm, becuase it finally went all the way and didn't hang up at 70%. after install on windows side all things seem to be working fine, thanks Bob.
    to all who have looked at this thread guess the advice is keep trying to load the windows support software until it completes.

  • Lockup keyboard and mouse after Windows7 update

    System: HP Pro 3135
    Windows 7 Prof. 64 bit
    Microsoft wired keyboard 600
    Logitech mouse RX250
    This problem starts at october 16th:
    After automatic updates of Windows the keyboard and mouse locked. Only by start in secure mode, and return with widows system restore to an earlier point it is possible to activate keyboard and mouse again.
    Now I switch off automatic updates, to prevent that the system hangs again.
    The Microsoft forum is not clear about this error, could it be something in relation to the HP computer?
    Any help is welcome.

    Hi,
    There were some issues with the last batch of critical/recommended Windows Updates this month.
    One of the updates disabled USB 2.0 device drivers from a specific USB vendor. I have found a web reference that may explain what has happened to you. I think the update was removed from Windows Update. This article may shed some light on your problem.
    You may want to install each update manually till you find the one causing your problem. Sadly, when you find it you will have to system restore again and avoid that update. Or Microsoft may have pulled the offending update.
    Is it an HP issue only? Impossible to comment on.
    I have updated four HP systems, a Dell laptop, and a custom built system with no issues.
    You really don't want to disable future Windows Updates permanently.

  • Wifi Driver is not working after upgrading windows7 to windows8 in MAC BOOK PRO2012

    Hi,
    Recently I installed windows7 in my MacbookPro2012.Yesterday I upgraded windows7 to windows8.All the basic drivers are working properly except wifi connectivity.
    It is recognizing the available wireless networks,but when Iam trying to connect to my wireless router,the connection is getting failed.If I connects the Modem cable directly,it is working fine.
    Is this is the problem with the drivers which were not supported by apple for windows8?

    All,
    Thanks.The issue is not with the driver.When I am entering my wifi Password,the default keyboard is taking as UK culture,that is the reason I am unable to connect to wifi.When I changed that to US,then i can able to connect
    There is nothing to do with Apple Driver.They provided everything.

  • Keyboard is not working in firefox

    a dilogue box appears that i typed many times words and there are two options on it

    i pressed no

    You might have activated a Windows accessibility feature that requires to hold down a key for a longer time to make it work.

  • Nf750-g55 problem installing windows7 home premium 64bit

    so i am attempting to build a htpc for a friend. got all the parts in the mail and started assembling the thing. installed the the m/b, cpu, hard drive, DVD drive, and power supply into the case and hooked up a old VGA CRT monitor and PS/2 keyboard and mouse. attempted to load the OS (specifically Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM)(purchased from newegg) which is where my problems started.  pardon the length here but i will try to be as detailed as possible to describe the issues.
    initial boot, everything powers up goes through the MB splash screen and it asks for bootable media.
    i put the install disk in the DVD and reboot, it comes up and boots from the DVD and brings up the windows install desktop. copies files, expands files, installs features and updates then auto shuts down to reboot.
    on reboot it brings up the desktop and starts flashing the 3 little dots next to the words completing installation. it does this for approximately 2 Min's then the computer crashes and app 20 seconds later the monitor led turns from green to amber for loss of video signal.
    computer reboots with MB splash screen then brings up the windows shut down unexpectedly screen "what do you want to do?"
    if i start windows normally it brings up the windows splash screen with the 4 fireflies that turn into the windows icon, blinks once then black screens. few secs later the monitor led goes amber and the system reboots.
    if i start in safe mode it will go Through the windows splash screen to the desktop and gives me the message "cannot finish installation in safe mode please reboot"
    as of this time i have swapped the memory out for the smaller module listed in my Sig. i started with a 4GB module of gskill ripjaw but have read that windows7 sometimes doesn't like more then 2 GB installed so used a spare i had laying around. i also tried another harddrive, i have run memtest86 as well as a harddrive diagnostic on the installed drive. i have swapped the drive sata cables around a bit. currently have hd in sata1 and DVD in sata4.
    i reflashed the bios from v1.3 to v1.5 with no change in the symptoms.
    i also unplugged everything from the front panel of the case except for the power/reset switches and power/hdd LEDs. no overclocking. insured the overclock dips on the MB were set in the off position.
    i also have tried to install both 32 and 64 bit versions of 7 ultimate. both fail in the exact same way. however a copy of server2008 32bit installed just fine.
    i made a tech support ticket with msi and hit the highlights in my post there, the response was that this type of concern is typically caused by memory issues but since i had both swapped in another memory module and run memtest that it was likely a MB issue and i should contact my reseller for an exchange.
    before making an rma request i wanted to touch base here and see if anyone might have a solution that wont require me waiting another week or so to get this thing up and running. it almost sounds like i may have a driver type issue that is causing things to wig out on me, since it boots OK in safe mode but not in normal mode. but i really dont have any idea on how to test that theory.
    in advance thank you for any suggestions

    well i tried out a diferent dvd and cable today and no go on a resolution that way.  and yes the ram module is in the dimm1 slot
    as a hail mary i stuck my HD into my other computer and installed the os that way and then ran the msi driver disk as well before parking the HD back in the other case. amazingly the thing booted up just fine and loaded a bunch of drivers. everything seemed ok until i rebooted and got a bsod during loading into windows. at least now i have a direction to go with. the minidump info listed the nvlddmkm.sys driver as the fault. from a quick websearch this seems to be a issue with the nvidia driver sets. i am currently attempting to locate a stable driver set version. will post back with either success or failure results

  • My keyboard layout has changed. I no longer have an @ key.

    About an hour ago, my keyboard layout changed (but only when using firefox) so that, for example, Shift+2 no longer produces @, but rather double quotes ("). Also, pressing the [ key now produces nothing, but the next key I hit after it will produce a hat. Example, the [ key and a g will give ^g. There are other peculiarities, such as the / key now shows é, and a few others.
    Everything I check on the internet seems to be telling me the problem lies in my keyboard layout settings in Windows, and possibly having to press LeftAlt+LeftShift (or just Alt+Shift) to readjust them, or bringing up the language bar, etc. But all of my efforts to fix language indicate to me that I'm currently operating with a US keyboard layout (which is what it`s supposed to be), and again, this ONLY happens in firefox and no other programs.
    Any ideas?

    See:
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
    * The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.
