Keyboard Issues in Windows

I have been using Windows for some time for my Simply Accounting Program with the ability to use the numbers portion of my keyboard, until last week.  For some reason it quit.  How do I get it back?

  • Wireless Trackpad/Keyboard Issue Bootcamp Windows 7

    Hi so i'm pretty much all the way to the part in windows where it tells you "Create User Name/Password"
    1 Problem. My Wireless trackpad and keyboard worked all the way until this point. Now i get nothing. not even a twitch from my mouse
    Keyboar is out too. Has this issue been solved? Do i need to find a usb keyboard? Please help?

    hi, to get past this stage of the instalation you need to use a usb wired mouse, this means a mouse that has a wire and usb to plug into your mac.
    the onscreen keyboard can be found if you click on the icon on the bottom left of the setup screen (looks similar to a wheelchair sgn)
    a usb wireless mouse or keyboard will not work because the wireless drivers are not yet installed in windows. they will install along with all other drivers when you open the bootcamp drive (can be found in win7; "my computer"
    in win 8; "this pc") and click on setup exe. this installs bootcamp on the windows side and installs all the drivers that you downloaded while originally running bootcamp assistant.

  • Keyboard issues in Windows 7 mode

    I installed Windows 7 Professional 64bit on my MacPro (late 2008) on a secondary drive. Everything seem to run fine, however I have encountered an issue with keyboard when running a particular software it doesn't respond correctly. The same software with the same settings and the same layout works fine on regular PC running Windows 7.
    I contacted support for the software with an issue and they logged on remotely on my computer and didn't have any issues with unresponsive keyboard.
    I tried switching to a different keyboard and no results.
    Any ideas?

    Solved it.
    It was this little thing running in the background in my Windows7, had to disable it in the start up menu. It's called 'GID Desktop Application'. It's somehow was 'screwing' with keyboard in that particular software.
    I was looking trough the 'logs' and noticed a repeating error, researched the details and found out that that was it.

    Hello @DavePro,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how you are looking to disable / limit the new tile screen in favor of the start menu. When you are referring to "miniatures", are you talking about the apps on the tile screen? Has your mother's laptop installed the most recent important Windows updates?
    In regards to minimizing the "Metro" UI on your Windows 8.1 computer, I recommend taking a look at this document on How to keep the Windows 8.1 Modern UI out of your way. This should help to utilize the desktop more than the tile menu on your mother's computer.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • Hp envy 14. Keyboard issues.

    hey all,
    ive been having an issue with my hp envy 14, with windows 7.  This forum seemed the most relevent, as its a keyboard issue.
    So whenever I turn my laptop on the keyboard is non-functional, so I turn it on with alt f5 I believe, this gets the key board functional, I can at this point type in my user password. Next as I type in my password, the capslock button has reversed itself, so when my keyboard shows caps on, caps is off and vice versa. Also, sometimes when im using my computer, it switches between recognizing caps is on or not.
    I recently wiped the laptop, so I believe the issue to be internal.
    This is frustrating to put it lightly, any help appreciated.

    Hi @czrom 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble with your keyboard. I am happy to help. Please post the full product number abd operating system so I can find the correct support pages and drivers for you. Since you mentioned that you just wiped the machine it is likely that some of the drivers are missing.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

  • MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 using Mac OS X 10.8 Keyboard Issues.

    Good day ASC,
    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010 upgraded to Mac OS X 10.8. It now has keyboard issues. Keys F4, 4, r, f, v, caps lock, space bar, and directional keys left and down do not work. I've been looking into the problem thinking it could be a software issue. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You need to install the Windows support software in Windows to make it run properly. You have to download and install these drivers in Windows > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    After installing them, I recommend you to look for a newer GPU driver

  • Keyboarding password CDE window doesn't work

    I don't manage to enter the password in the password window of CDE.
    The password I type is the good one, it seems to be a keyboard issue, it is locked.
    Is it possible to kill this CDE console and start it again.
    To be more specific, this CDE is launched on the system console.
    Thanks for your help

    By default the router will use admin for either the password only or for both username and password. If it doesn't work you might have changed this before when you ran the setup cd the first time. Is the cisco connect software installed in the computer? You can check thru cisco connect what the router password is. Just go to "router settings" then check what the router password is. With cisco connect, your network password (wireless security key) is the same as the router password. Otherwise you'll have to reset the router for 10 seconds and it will goback to the default "admin" password or you may run the setup cd again.

  • Anything new with keyboard issues in XP

    read alot of posts but doesnt appaer to be anything new on keyboard issues in XP. works for awhile then nothing.mouse does work. i dont have an old keyboard around i can use. was hoping it was something to do with XP settings.
    any word ?

    I seemed to have the same issues other people were reporting: USB keyboard would disconnect every five minutes or so, would sometimes re-connect by itself, would other times freeze and require re-plugging. The mouse would usually keep working even when plugged into keyboard. This would happen on all USB ports. It was most noticeable in Windows (through Boot Camp and through Parallels), but it would also happen less noticeably in OS X. In OS X, it would often recover without re-plugging, but errors would show up in the Console logs. It seemed to get worse the longer my computer was on.
    Turned out, for me at least, to be a faulty keyboard. Although I tested the keyboard on another computer and it was fine, on the Intel iMac it had the disconnection problem. I repaired permissions, verified the disk, reset PRAM, restarted in Safe Boot, but nothing helped.
    I called Apple about it. They replaced the keyboard under warranty, and since then (about two weeks) the problem has not occured once, in OS X or in Windows.
    If you haven't done so already, I recommend thorough troubleshooting. Disconnect all other peripherals other than the mouse and monitor your logs in OS X (open Console under Utilities) to see if USB errors come up. Boot into in Safe Boot mode by pressing Shift on start-up. If the error still comes up in OS X, as it did in my case, then you have a valid problem you can call Apple about. If it happens only in Windows, unfortunately it might be harder to make a case since Boot Camp is beta software. When you call Apple you can desscribe all the testing you already did.
    (are you still under warranty?)

  • Delete key + Keyboard issue

    Hey, I have a MacBook from mid 2007 that I use for Boot Camp. I was wondering if there was any way to have some key that would be the equivalent of the delete key on Windows (I am running XP).
    Additionally, on XP, for whatever reason it likes to go to the French keyboard, which is annoying since I will go for a "?" and get a capital "é". Anyone know what to do?

    Sounds like you have a French keyboard selected. In Control Panel select the Regional and Language Options. Now click on the Languages tab and select the Details box. Here you can control which keyboards are available under Installed Services.
    If you poke around a bit you will be able to address the French keyboard issue.

  • Keyboard Issues, Please help!

    Hi I'm using a Windows 7 laptop and I'm frequently having keyboard issues, especially when I'm playing video games, the keyboard would suddenly freeze up and stop working entirely, the temporary fixes that I've had so far are, locking then unlocking my
    laptop, and restarting, its been happening really frequently and its really starting to get annoying, additionally, I'm finding that Windows Update itself is causing me a lot of issues, I had it on auto install whenever a new update comes up but then I'd start
    getting audio problems, where the sound stops working entirely, and I have to go through a lot of trouble just to get it working again. Does anyone have ideas as to how I can fix this? Thanks!

    Hi Eric3497,
    “the keyboard would suddenly freeze up and stop working entirely” “additionally, I'm finding that Windows Update itself is causing me a lot of issues, I had it on auto install whenever a new update comes up but then I'd start getting audio problems,”
    It seems that you have two issues and they both related to the device. Are all of the keyboard , mouse and audio device USB devices?
    please follow these steps to have a troubleshoot:
    1.Run the built-in troubleshoot tool to have a diagnostic. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Hardware and Sound
    2.  Update the device driver or reinstall the device from the Device Manager .If it is possible ,you may need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer website.
    3.If the issue persists, update the chipset , and then reinstall the USB Controller from the Device Manager.
    4.Reinstall the audio driver from the device manager or manually download the driver from the manufacturer website, too.
    5.To verify whether this issue is caused by the device as Rick Dee said ,it is recommended to plug in the device to another machine to have a check if it is possible.
    Best regards

  • Dirver for the aluminium keyboard for a windows XP Lenovo Notebook

    Hi,
    I desperately searching for a working keyboard driver for my Apple aluminium keyboard, connected to my Windows XP Notebook at my offcie (at home, I use a Mac, of course
    So I cannot use Bootcamp, but isn't there any usual XP-driver for the keyboard, or some other work around.
    I searched already a lot in the web, but with no sucess.
    thanks for your help

    Hello spidermains,
    Happy to see that I have a friend in that adventure
    Look I have a blog entry here:
    http://www.happytocode.com/post/Can-I-use-the-new-Apple-USB-Aluminium-keyboard-o n-Windows.aspx
    That post describes all the steps I followed to extract the drivers from the dual boot camp CD.
    I'm using a PC, only a PC. I do not have any Apple computer (yet).
    When I mention boot camp, I mean the boot camp CD on one side and the boot camp utilities on the other side. To be more specific the tool I'm talking about is the kbrmgr.exe
    That tool sits in the systray and is handling the special keys of the keyboard.
    If you have other questions... let me know,
    John.

  • Windows 8.1 RDP Issues with Windows Server 2008 Standard.

    I have an issue maintaining an RDP connection from 64-bit windows 8.1 (standard and pro) to 32-bit Windows Server 2008 Standard.  Initial connection is normal, and as long as I am constantly typing on the link, for the most part it stays up. However
    if I do not keep typing, or go to another desktop program for a few minutes, and then go back, the following happens:
    If I am typing into notepad (or some screen that does not require windows to be refreshed) I can continue to do so, so the connection has not been lost, however if I try to do something that requires more extensive exchange of information (like file
    - open, or even trying to pull up the start menu), the connection pauses with about half the screen refreshed, sometimes after about 30 seconds a bit more of the screen fills out, but otherwise the connection is not responsive. Then after about 2 minutes,
    RDP reconnects, at which point I am back to "normal".  I have conducted some tests and made inquiries of others attempting to connect to the server.
    1) I can connect to other Windows (servers 2008 R2 and 2012)  with no connection issues from this PC
    2) I can connect to the 32-bit server with no issues using Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 from the same location as the WIndows 8.1 PC
    3) When I do a network speed test while having these issues I see full download and upload speeds, so I am not experiencing intermittent internet issues.
    4) No-one else from other locations (not of course using Windows 8.1) has any issues using RDP to the 32-bit Windows Server Standard.
    These various tests seem to eliminate my network connection, and other operating systems, from the equation, and point to RDP issues on windows 8.1 connecting to the older OS.  I noticed in the September updates, a case 2989039 which seemed to point
    to similar issues when using UDP through Remote Desktop Gateway.  That update is on my machine, and my connection has the setting Automatically detect RD Access Gateway server settings.
    Any thoughts anyone?

    Hi  RonaldRenaud,
    If my understanding is right, this RDP issue only occur in the connection between Windows 8.1 and Server 2008.
    Please check if you have installed the update kb2984006.
    To resolve this issue caused by update 2989039, install update rollup 2984006. For more information, please refer to the following KB.

  • SAP Netweaver Installation Issue on Windows 7

    Hi,
    I was trying to install Netweaver 7.3 (Java) in my windows 7 and when I was in step 30 of 33 (Java components deployment)
    I got the following error
    Error message is 'undefinednull:ram-PC:50004 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException: Cannot open connection to host: 10.10.0.10 and port: 50004. Check if the host and port specified are correct and AS Java is up and running.. SOLUTION: Check 'undefined' and '' for more information.).
    I have successfully created loopback adapter and able to ping the IP address of the adapter . But when SAP server is trying to connect to this adapter using port 50004 and Its getting the error message . I don't know how to assign the port number to this loop back adapter.
    I tried to use telnet but it failed . (telnet ram-PC 50004 )
    loopback adapter IP : 10.10.0.10
    Host name : ram-PC
    As I am new to SAP , Please let me know is there any file where I need to define host and port ? Do I need to update service.msc file from  windows\system32\drivers\etc\ ? If so, what would be the service name and port ?
    Steps taken to resolve this issue :
    updated windows host file with IP and host name (10.10.0.10 ram-PC)
    updated windows service file with host and port (ram-PC 50004) - This step might be wrong (Do I need to use hostname or service name ?)
    uninstalled Antivirus
    Turned off windows firewall
    Added loopback adapter IP address to Windows firewall inbound rules .
    None of the above steps resolved the error . Please help me on the above issue.any help would be appreciated .

  • HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Profession​al 64 bit

    Hello,
    For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
    The problem:
    Printing:  Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
    Scanning:  Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
    Things I have tried:
    Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
    Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
    Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
    Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
    Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
    Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
    Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
    Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
    Things I have not tried:
    Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
    You tell me
    Curiosities:
    I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
    Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
    Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
    Theories:
    I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
    Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that. 
    Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

    Hi Zerosouls,
    I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
    Please let me know what happens
    Thanks
