Lenovo G530 - problem with certain keys on keyboard

hi everyone.
I have a Lenovo G530 and I am having an odd problem with the keyboard.  If i press the spacebar when I type anything, i get the system date and time.  If I press the H button, I get a hn and i get nh when I press the N key.  Also get gb when I press G and bg when I press B.  The rest of the keys are fine.  Any ideas what could help???
I has this problem about a month ago and I remember reading somewhere on the net that if I press Alt-Crt-Del and some other key, it shoudl work... and it must have cause the problem stopped.  But now it's back and I can't find that combination again.
I have Windows Vista installed.
Thanks!!! 

Hello,
I doubt it's a hardware problem at all. I believe it's a "fun" program running on your machine that does this. Someone put it there for you.
A sure way to make sure what it is....... connect a USB keyboard to your laptop. If that USB keyboard is doing the same thing then it's software related, if not, then it's hardware related.
If it is infact a funware there or a virus you'd have to go to a malware forum and ask around. If it turns out to be malware try Spybot Search & Destroy.

  • Problems with certain keys...

    Hello everyone. I am having someo problems with my keyboard on my ibook g4, using os 10.3.5, and was wondering if anyone has experienced this and what might be wrong.
    e " key creates è, and to get a quote i have to type shift and the right angle bracket, the one on top of the . key.
    Also when i press the forward slash key, that also creates an é.
    There are other things like that as well, but perhaps that is enough to explain the situation. I hope...

    Depending on where you find a suitable and correct
    replacement keyboard for an iBook G4 (differences
    exist between models, builds, etc) the cost for this
    part may well be worth it; then while it is working OK
    then consider selling it. Or waiting and then it may
    be worth a fair bit as parts when something else goes.
    A general search gives a few options and I see some
    worth looking down the results list here to read...
    ' ibook G4 keyboard replacement ' - google search:
    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=ibookg4+keyboard+replacement&aq=1&oq=iBook+G4ke&aqi=g10&fp=PhrPwMX9NAI
    If yours is the mid-2005 12" iBook G4 (1.33GHz, 40GB HDD, Combo)
    there is a download for the 'keyboard removal' sequence in .PDF in
    the search results worth a look. Other good links are also there, to
    include prices from some sources for keyboards. And a clean used
    keyboard may also work well if reasonable cost vs. risk of failure.
    Good luck & happy computing!
    PS: how far off is fall where you are?

  • Lenovo yoga problems with keyboard

    Hi. I have a problem with the pop up keyboard when it is in tablet mode. The problem is that the keyboard does not automatically pop up, when I want to write something. I have to press the keyboard logo on the right side os the screen every time I want to write and remove it the same way.
    Can anybody helt me?

    i think the keyboard only opens automaticaly, when you use the iexplorer in tablet mode or apps from the tile-site of win8.
    as long as you work via desktop, it doestn comes up automatically.

  • Shift keys on thinkpad twist not working with certain keys

    My shift keys stopped working with certain keys. asdfjkl;'zxcvm,. Those are the letters and symbols that my shift key stopped working with. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Okay, do the following.
    1) Go into your control panel. You can get into this by either pressing Windows key + E, or search for control panel in the 'Search' box.
    2) Now select View By, and choose 'Large Icon' or 'Small Icon', which is on the top right corner of the Control Panel screen.
    3) Select 'Ease of Access Center'. Or you can skip step 1 and 2, by directly typing 'Ease of Access Center' in the search.
    4) Select 'Make the Keyboard easier to use'.
    5) Make sure you unselect 'Turn on Filter Keys' option.

  • Having problem with dead key in Leopard

    Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
    In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
    In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
    How can I get dead key "'" working?
    I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
    Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
    1) Before dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
    2) After dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

    ok, i got answer
    so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
    There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
    So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
    Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

  • Mapping problem with compressed key update record

    Hi, could you please advise?
    I'm getting the following problem:
    About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
    filed1 = NULL
    field2 =
    field3 =
    field4 =
    field5 =
    datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
    field6 =
    field8 =
    field9 = NULL
    field10 =
    Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
    So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
    I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files. To increase the number of retries, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryCount = n) in Extract parameter file. To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
    I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
    Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
    If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
    But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
    I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
    I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
    CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
    Could you please advise why does it happen?

    Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

    Regards,

    The SCRP_CODE column has a NOT NULL constraint. The ORA-01407 error is telling you that you cannot update or set a value for this column to null because of the constraint. This has absolutely nothing to do with an index. You can use a marker/sentinel value in lieu of using NULL. For a numeric field, where everything is positive, a negative value (-1) can be decoded as meaning null. For a character field, a code such as NA can represent NULL.
    This also has nothing to do (directly) with GoldenGate failing because of this error. The underlying SQL statement will fail everywhere, regardless of the tool or application. It is not a case of failing only in GoldenGate.

  • Problems with fuction keys for brightness

    i have laptop hp 15 r006tx Product number: G8D30PA#ACJ 
    i have problems with functions keys for brightness , actually it does't works i can't actually adjust brightness, please help me.....................

    OK...
    I was right.  You have no graphics driver installed for the Intel HD graphics adapter.
    I am very surprised you were able to install the nVidia driver because usually you get an error that states you need to install the Intel graphics driver first.
    Once you install this driver, the Microsoft Basic Display adapter should be replaced by an Intel HD graphics adapter and you should be able to adjust the screen brightness.
    Make sure you have installed this Intel chipset driver first and reboot.  If you have done this already, you can skip this step.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-130504-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Next, install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot.  This driver is for W8.1.  If you installed W8, you need a different graphics driver.

  • Problem with a key figure restriction

    Hi,
    I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
    I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter
    Regards,

  • Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

    Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
    Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
    Thanks

    I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
    So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
    instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • Problems with Registration Key, VB 2008 Express Edition

    VB 2008 Express Edition. Installed on a pc using Windows 8. Problem with registration key.
    I was given an executable program by a colleague that had already been used and I am currently making changes to the program to fit the specifics of my project. Thirty days after I started analyzing/manipulating the code, when I tried to open the program
    a pop-up came up that stated that I needed a registration key. When I click on the link on the pop-up to try to obtain a registration key, the link takes me to a page that states "the page doesn't exist" (http://www.microsoft.com/404.htm).
    That said, instead of trying to obtain a registration key I then downloaded a new version of VB 2008 Express Edition from Microsoft DreamSpark. I successfully downloaded the program. The website stated that if I ever needed a registration key, I could obtain
    it from within the program. However, even still, when I try to open up VB, the pop-up still comes up that states that I need a registration key.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or quick fixes? Thanks

    I'm not sure that registration keys are available any more for the 2008 version. There have been three versions since then (2010, 2012 and 2013) and  a fourth (2015) is currently being previewed.
    Is there any reason why you can use the current version? Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition is free for individuals and small companies.

  • Left shift issue with certain keys.

    Hello,
    From today, I have noticed an issue when using the right shift button, 
    It seems to only work with certain keys, the ones I have noticed do not work are ?  and :
    these works ok when using Left Shift
    Right shift works ok for other keys.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, I dont have one with me at present,
    I find it strange, as I would normally agree with you but...
    The shift key works ok when used with other buttons indicating the shift key is ok.
    the ? and the : button work ok when no shift modifyer is present or when the shift key on the left hand side is used.
    proving both bottons work just not when used together
