    Keyboard problems (solved)
    « on: August 18, 2008, 08:54:04 PM »
    Hey guys, it's my first time to post here. I have some question with my keyboard.
    When I press the "Window" key (beside the ctrl)  at the left side of keyboard, it shutdown directly. The right one "windows" key, it's normal as well.
    The second problem is pressing "ctrl" will mute/unmute.
    I didn't create any shortcut key or hot key before and not the virus.
    Last, the key of  "  and  @  changed to @ and ". When I press @, it display as ", and press " will show as @.
    Does anyone have any solution? Thx!
    Info:
    Windows XP Professional SP2
    Ordinary Keyboard

    (solved)

    Danged if right now I can remember where to get at the settings info - but you have what sounds like a reversal such that instead of US keyboard you are set for the UK one - which reverses these " and @ options.  Not so sure about the win key tho.

    I'll try and remember the way to set this - usually of course it's something set up at OS original install.  I expect someone will be along to remind us!

      First go through everything and make sure it is set up correct (like your locations, language, ect...).
      If that doesn't fix the keyboard problem, let us know.

      And you might want to test another keyboard, just to make sure.
      Also, what protection do you have?

        I doesn't fix the problem. I have kaspersky anti-virus. The problem just happened suddenly when i'm playing counter strike.

          Lol. Just to make sure you didn't smash your keyboard too hard while playing CS. :P

            Thx! Carbon Dudeoxide. I solve the first and second problem. However, I don't have any idea with the @ and " problem.

            Exactly what is the problem? What keys are they replacing?

              Have you tried our other suggestion through Control Panel?
