'stuck key in windows 8.1'

Hey,
Looking for some help with an apparently 'stuck' P letter key. When logging in, opening an excel file, internet explorer, the letter P is being added to the fields/bars, or it reads the command as a Print function. When right clicking on a folder, the cursor
goes 4 up and then down again. I reinstalled windows 8.1, still does the same, sticky and filter keys turned off, turned on, not any results. Disabled keyboard, after restart keyboard was enabled again. Anybody experienced this?
Thanks
Paul

Hello Paul,
If my understanding is right, the p letter is added to field/bars or as print command when open excel, Internet Explorer, even reinstall can’t solve the issue.
Have you made any change before this issue?
Please try to update the keyboard driver.
We need to check if the hardware issue.
Try to disable this keyboard and use other external keyboard and then check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,

Error 0210: stuck key 2b - t61 thinkpad + windows 7 32 bit

When ever I switch on the system i get this message error 0210: stuck key 2b". If I press esc key then it boots to the os windows 7 and also after booting up, if I open any ms word doc, the # key gets pressed automatically and I could see continous # characters getting typed in the doc. THis has started only after installing the w7 in my thinkpad. Can anyone suggest me if this is an os problem or keyboard failure. THis is repeating even after I clean the keypad and then turn on. This is happening in bios as well, I get a continous beep sound even in the bios as if some key is getting pressed all the time. So please let me know do I have to change the whole key board or just reseat the connection or something else is pending. Please help me, I am wondering why this problem has started immediately after I installed the window 7. If its an os problem, y am i getting the beep sound in bios, so i think its definetly not the os prob. Something wrong with the keys is it not. Any suggestions or tips are appreciated, I ran the HD diagnostic, it passed.
THanks,
Solved!

manu555,
If this is occurring in BIOS as you note, that rules out anything having to do with the OS.   As GMAC-R60 suggests, this points to the keyboard being bad, or having a bad / intermittant connection to the system board, or something on the system board going bad.
I would try:
Checking the physical keyboard connection:
Remove and unplug the keyboard - inspect the keyboard plug for any visible corrosion or damage. Plug it back in carefully and try again. If the problems are still occurring, then try..
Clearing CMOS and resetting BIOS defaults - sometimes you get some stuck bit that causes an abnormal state:
Remove battery & AC adapter. Press and hold the power button several times for a count of 5 each time.   Re-attach AC and restart the computer.    Go into BIOS and reload factory defaults and save. (there is a option to restore factory defaults). Shut down. Put in your battery and restart.
Try replacing the keyboard - you can contact service and order a replacement keyboard outside of warranty, or source on from a local business partner (if there are warranty authorized resellers in your area, they will have the keyboard in stock, or be able to order it).   Or, check online sales - ebay, etc as you wish.
If none of these steps resolve it, then my next suggestion would be the system board, but I think that is rather unlikely.

Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks

I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
I tried to delete
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
Thank you very much.
Giuliano

Restart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The Password reset utility launches/
Reset password.

T400 stuck key issue

I bought my T400 2764-CTO in last December, and started using it on mini dock without any problem. Until recently, it starts to show stuck key issue randomly (not always failure) both at boot up or under Windows Vista.
ERROR
0210 Stuck Key FF
Press <F1> to SetUp
Note: the stuck key keeps changing, sometimes 13, sometimes 1F, sometimes other key.
I opened the laptop, and checked the connection of the keyboard but couldn't locate any problem there. Can this be a keyboard issue? Or even a motherboard issue?
Can Lenovo swap a new keyboard for me? If so, what do I need to do then?
Thanks!
Best Regards

You can call Lenovo service, and log a service call, they will make the necessary arrangements. If you are not confident with bios update then please don't do it youself, and let the warranty department do it for you, as any mistakes can make your laptop useless and you will be paying couple hundreds of euros to get the motherboard replaced.

Stuck Key & Error Message

Thinkpad T410i windows 7. Getting a stuck key 4D message on startup, can boot just by pressing escape twice, but then getting a persistent and intermittent / random error message pop up. The error message is blank and contains no information other than the word Error. My keyboard seems fine, no jammed keys.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Think I found the solution myself: seemed to be some kind of conflict with MobileMe control panel, so maybe something to do with syncing and nothing to do with the keyboard. Uninstalled the programme and the problem is solved.

B570 Keyboard Issue.... Keyboard stuck key issue....

Okay...
Earlier in February, My sister accidentally spilled sweet tea (That's right, Sweet Tea) on My BIBB Laptop... After letting it dry for a few days, I found out that the Main Keyboard needed to be replaced, so I bought a replacement Keyboard in June... However, when I plugged it in to my Laptop and tried to start it up, This error occurred:
Error: (I Can't remember the number) Keyboard Stuck Key.
After Unplugging the replacement keyboard (Which is in Great Condition...) I restarted the Computer with my USB Keyboard Connected and it started up fine.... After logging in, I tested my replacement keyboard by plugging it in, and found out that both Shift keys, Backspace keys, arrow keys, and the Number pad on the far right of the Keyboard weren't working....
A friend of mine told me that it was a Motherboard problem and the laptop would have to be replaced, But now I Don't know what To do now....
My question is:
Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole Laptop? And if so, How?

I'm unable to find any information on Seacreate. Are you sure it's spelled correctly?
Try running a Windows update to see if that finds a driver for it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isnt-working-properly
If that updates properly and it's still not working, then it's more than likely a hardware issue. Can you check the keyboard cable connections and make sure it is all secure and not crimped, broken, etc?

Stuck Keys

Hi, I have a K230, E8400 chip. I have a keys issue.
First, know I have tried two keyboards - Lenovo and plain.
I have had this problem on the original Vista Premium 64, and now have it on Windows & Professional. The original had the Lenovo keyboard driver, the Win7 does not.
I have been all over the Sticky keys features and they are not on. And their controls do not clear the problem.
The problem: is that when I type my typical password, about one in 20 times, the keys start acting like ALT, CTRL, or ??? is stuck. It gets stuck that way until a Logout/login cycle.
For example (though I have not noted the exact things that happen) typing a T causes windows to swap. M causes windows to close. P pops something else up.
My basic password starts with "Maddy" and I can type it extremely quickly and that seems to set this off. I am either accidentally hitting a key combination like Ctrl-M instead of Shift M....or the triple combo of Shift or Alt and M and a - and thus triggering something to set something in the keyboard driver....somewhere!, like the BIOS.
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just applied Software Update to bring my MacBook Pro from 10.5 to 10.5.2 and the repeating key / stuck key problem just started appearing.
Randomly, the OS X will repeat a key that I've pressed after a short delay, say 10 or 15 times.
This never happened on 10.5.
A possible solution some are offering is to apply the firmware update for Macbook/MacBook Pro keyboards, which unfortunately, isn't a fix for you considering that you're using a Mac Pro.
Anyways the firmware update is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1482?viewlocale=en_US

Stuck in Bootcamp Windows install and can't get out

late 2009 iMac with Mavericks with homemade fusion drive with super drive removed.
Was working fine until i tried to use bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now I'm stuck in the Windows partition, windows won't install and can't get out of the loop. Machine boots white screen with no apple logo and chimes. Eventually has black screen with No bootabe device -- insert boot disk and press any key. I have a USB drive. I've tried everything. Doesn't seem to be recognizing bluetooth keyboard. No sort of button combination on startup works. Tried holding X, command-alt PR, shift, command-R, option. Tried everything. Light doesn't come on on keyboard in startup which means it's probably not recognized. Tried disconnecting internal drives and booting from USB. Tried booting from Time Machine USB drive. Nothings works. Think a USB keyboard would solves this?

I have gotten in this loop. When doing this kind of thing, a usb keyboard would be good to have around, and that is probably the problem, because when I would boot, the first time set the windows partition to the default drive. Hold the key combo and boot into OSX, and go into Settings/Startup Disk/ and change it to The osx hd.

Remapping the Fn key in Windows * a solution *

Howdy,
If you own a Mac and you're running Windows via Boot Camp, it's likely that you've noticed that there are problems with the operation of the Fn key. Because the keyboard doesn't have a Delete key, it's extremely annoying that you can't use Fn+Backspace in order to get the Delete function.
As discussed in this thread it's possible to remap normal keys on your keyboard with a remapping tool like AutoHotKey. Unfortunately this application doesn't recognize the Fn key by default, so you're still stuck with other key combinations like Command+Backspace = Delete.
I don't use Boot Camp on my MacBook, but I do have a PC with Windows XP. I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard, which is basically identical to my MacBook keyboard. Using it in Windows is no problem, but the Fn and Eject key both don't work. So I suppose the problem is the same for users of Windows through Boot Camp.
First I used AutoHotKey to remap Command+Backspace to Delete. But I couldn't get over the fact that there were two keys that I couldn't use. So I kept looking for a solution, and finally found one. Using a DLL file for adding support for Human Interface Devices, written by one of the AHK forum members, I was able to get a response back from my Fn and Eject key. I wrote a script that let's you alter the behavior of the Fn key, so it will act as a modifier.
At this point my Fn key is fully functional, and I mapped all the basic OS X functions so they can be used in Windows. So whether I'm using Leopard on my MacBook or Windows on my PC, everything is the same. This means:
Fn+Backspace = Delete
Fn+F10 = Mute/Unmute
Fn+F11 = Volume Down
Fn+F12 = Volume Up
Eject key ejects my drive (without or with a delay just as in OS X)
And so forth.
Because the Fn key question is a common problem for a lot of people, I decided to write a full guide explaining every step of the way in full detail. The guide can be found right here:
Mystery of the Fn key - A guide to remapping the Fn key in Windows
The DLL used to retrieve information from the Fn and Eject key has already been used for many other purposes, and made it possible to map a lot of different keys on many different keyboards and other devices like mice and remote controls. By doing so it has proven its worth, and I'm sure that you'll be able to get your Fn key and other special keys working just fine. Whether it's on your Mac using Boot Camp, on a PC with using a keyboard with special hotkeys or on a PC notebook. The guide is based on remapping my Apple Wireless Keyboard, so at least I'm sure that it'll work for Apple keyboards.
Feedback on my guide and script and whether you succeeded remapping your Fn and Eject key is much appreciated.
Good luck!

Well I tried but none of the settings recognized Fn nor Eject on my MBP (penryn w/ OSX and Vista). I even ran through dozens of possible Usage/Page combinations. My other keys were recognized and so what my mouse/trackpad. But not Fn and Eject.
As you state in the write-up "If your key isn't recognized by one of the devices and their settings as listed in the application, it's unfortunately not likely that you'll get your key to work."
Thanks anyway. I really thought I found the answer in this thread...
oh well.

PS. It really shouldn't be this hard to delete email using one hand....

IMac purchased at garage sale help. Gets stuck at "Login Window Starting."

Hi all,
I recently purchased an iMac at a barn sale, and it turns on and everything, but then gets stuck at "Login Window starting" screen (http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt135/gpd2paul4/IMG_0251.jpg). When Goggling this problem, I see that I am not alone in thee problem, but I am alone in the fact that I don't even know what model it is (I think G3, but not sure), let alone have the original CDs or paperwork. I have tried holding 'shift' right after the startup chime to start up in safe mode, but it still gets stuck at "Login Window starting." I have attached a few pictures of the computer to help you veteran Mac users identify it, which might help you help me. Any help is appreciated. (Step-by-step instructions are best, I am good at using a Mac, but this is getting pretty technical.)
Thanks!!!

Try holding down the shift key when powering on. This will skip a few programs from loading.
Hold down the shift key when booting into Mac OS X. this will check your file structure and do a repair. This will also leave off some files from being used.

You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is firmware?
The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.

Creating a new key in Windows Registry

Hello all,
Have been trying to use JNIRegistry for creation of a new key in Windows' Registry, and it doesn't work.
Would appreciate if anyone has an example of how to do it.
thank you,
Rami A.

I presume your refering to:
http://www.trustice.com/java/jnireg/
Obviously JNIRegistry is not a standard part of Java as its OS specific.
Why are you attempting to create a key in the registry with java?
I would recommend you have a look at java.util.prefs.Preferences which
uses the registry under Windows OS but also handles other os's in a way
that is native to that os.
If you have a burning need to use JNIReg, then can you please post the
code that you used? A quick look at the docs for it tells me that you
need to create a RegistryKey object for the place where you wish to
create the key and then use createSubKey().
Also the documentation mentions that the Key Class is a mirror of how
the "Windows Registry API" works, and then says to have a gander at the
"Windows Registry API" if you have any questions. I would suggest
having a gander at www.msdn.com. Also try this link:

Received my new W510 yesterday and still discovering
I bought it in the US but live in the UK, so have changed the regional settings to UK. Now, however (and as expected) some keys don't match up, e.g. the " and @ is switched etc.
How do I change/remap individual keys in Windows 7?

if it doesn't work, bios editing will remap the key ( but editing bios will void the warranty.also, you need to have enough knowledge about bios editing. )
