Pavilion p6-2203a Desktop PC . Operating system Windows 8, 64-bit

I am having trouble with my keyboard. Some of the keys I use in conjunction with the Shift key do not produce the symbols I want - especially those above the number keys.  For instance Shift+3 produces the £ sign instead of the hash symbol (which I cannot locate anywhere on my keyboard) and the @ sign has to be produced by using the Shift key + the " key.  I have sent email messages to HP Help online, have followed the instructions they have given me regarding re-setting my input options in the Control Panel, but to no avail.
Can someone help me with this frustrating issue I have.
This question was solved.

Hi,
I'm assuming you are using Win 7.
It seems like your keyboard isn't set to US Region.
Please go to Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region. Click on "Change Keyboards or other input methods". Click on "Change keyboards". Capture a screenshot and post it here.
Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.

    Problem: Smart Hard Disk Error  
    Disk Name: WDC WD3200BEKT-60V5T1
    How do I fix this error?

    Hi,
    If you're starting to get Smart warnings, it's probably best to think about replacing the Hard Drive - at the very least, make sure you have a current back-up of all your personal files etc in case the drive fails suddenly.
    If you'd like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive, please post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.

  • Operating System(Windows 7) got corrupted ..!

    Hi all,
    Can someone please help me with my laptop issue ???
    My Laptop Details :
    Product name         :  HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
    Operating System :  Windows 7 Home Premium
    RAM                             :  6GB
    Processor                  :  Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU [email protected](2400MHz)
    Purchase                   :  Decemeber, 2010.
    My Laptop problem :
    My HP-laptop got infected with "virus" ( it says like found 38 virus).
    And because of this virus attack , I was NOT able to open any application , for example say if i try to open "notepad" - then throws a message like " unable to open notepad application, though infected with virus".
    So with this , i can confirm that my laptop was NOT allowing me to open anything because infected with virus.
    Now i have 2 options to go further :
    1) Remove virus , using antivirus removal software ( This i don't have , so NOT attempting to use)
    2) Recover thru recovery option.
    When i purchased this laptop , the laptop contains recovery partition within the laptop , so it's a built-in option.
    Though i was NOT interested to keep that recovery partition in my laptop, I just burned recovery manager into 7 DVDs, and then deleted the partition.
    With this my laptop contains drives like :
     C: drive --> this contains OS related stuff
    D: drive --> this contains my general stuff like songs , movies , etc
    System drive --> 199MB ( not sure what thid contains )
    Now coming to original problem/issue -
    I have planned to use recovery DVDs , to recover to factory state.
    Started with 1st DVD , it went upto 18% and then asked me to insert 2nd DVD.. and this went upto 30%.. now again asked me to insert 3rd DVD.
    With 3rd DVD.. it went upto 40% , and then stopped responding. Nearly I've waited for about 3 hrs.. but NO use.. it's still hanged at 40% only.
    So with 3rd DVD , it got hanged or stopped.
    My doubt - not sure whether my 3rd DVD got corrupted or not , but i don't think so.. because 3rd DVD worked for atleast 10%..
    Finally , I was struck here...
    Not sure what's my next step
    Please help me what I have to do now, like  what steps to take... etc
    How to recover?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Lets start with your providing the complete product name or product number. 
    HP has produced and brought to market perhaps more than 10,000 models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which one you own and which operating system is installed.
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key. You can also read the Service Tag (if present) attached to the bottom of your notebook\netbook.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a printed part number and a product name. Please post one or both of them (with all alphanumeric characters here). If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase.
    Were you using an antivirus product (free or paid) when this issue happened?
    What was the brand and product name of the Antivirus product?
    Best regards,
    erico

  • Opening an operating system window from Forms

    An old feature from SQL*Forms was that you could open an Operating System Window by pressing a function key (or combination of keys)
    I think this is still available in Oracle Forms 10g, but I can't remember which function key to press.
    Can anyone help? I know that the function keys can vary across systems, so that I'm looking for is the default key (or keystrokes). I don't think it matters which versions of software are being used, but in case it does, the setup is:
    Oracle Forms: 10gR2
    Client PC: Windows XP
    Client Browser: Internet Expolorer 6
    Application Server: 10GR2 on Windows Server 2003
    Database Server: 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003
    The database has the ORAFORMS$OSC role granted to PUBLIC, and the "<OSC>" flag is showing in the Forms Console.
    Control-K gives a list of the function keys, but doesn't list anything for opening a DOS window:
    As far as I know, frmweb.res has not been altered, but it doesn't list an option for opening an OS window anyway.
    This is not about the HOST command.
    Thanks, Martin

    Hi michaeltowse,
    This is indeed something more complicated. Let me give you
    some details about the project:
    This project is to be initially created in Adobe Captivate.
    It consists of the main menu that is to be created in Flash (menu
    1); sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate (menu 2); and
    menus of sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate as well
    (menu 3). Now, the part where I need help on is the part that goes
    from sub-menus (menu 2) to menus of sub-menus (menu 3). When any
    option is to be selected from the sub-menu (menu 2), a new window
    is suppose to pop-up (menu 3) that is suppose to be in Flash. This
    new window is suppose to be a new Flash window and is not suppose
    to be opened in a browser, but it's suppose to be opened in another
    Flash window (SWF window). This whole entire project is to be
    executed via an embedded Flash executable. Thus all the .SWF files
    that were created in either Captivate or Flash are to be tied
    together via a Flash executable. I was told in Captivate's Forum
    that this may be done via ActionScript in Flash and I'm wondering
    whether that is that case. Please tell me if my project makes
    sense.
    Thank you.

    have a question to ask ... I bought, at the time, the update of Adobe Audition CS6, being already in possession of the CS5.5 version. Since I had to redo the operating system (windows 7 professional 64-bit), reistallando program CS6, with the corresponding serial number in my possession, I noticed a malfunction that is:
    importing a musical motif and starting the program, clicking on play, I do not play any pattern or song despite being in operation.
    I reinstalled the program, but without any result. What do I do? Thanks.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Hello Rachet Jaw,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. I found a few articles I suggest for the issue you described.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    If you are still not able to access the store or are getting a different error than just a white screen, I recommend the following articles:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368

    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
    You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.
