reboot your computer and run normal, then hit FN keys and hit the key that has a monitor picture..usually on the f1- f12 keys do it both at once it should send the signal to the tv

Try booting up in safe mode then Restore your system back to a date and time before you came across that web page and started having problems.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn itback on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFEMODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will lookdifferent to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this isnormal.Click Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
Select a Restore Point (date and time) that is before you started having problems. You don't have to use the restore point that is shown just select option to see more restore points.When System Restore finishes, reboot your computer.Report back and let us know if it is solved or not.

What do you mean not working? Is it that certain keys don't work, or the whole keyboard does not work?

Maybe your keyboard has been hijacked by a virus. Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode to see if it works?

Turn off the computer, then hit the power buttonto turn it back on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly untilyou see SAFE MODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. SafeMode will look different to you, the screen will be darker and the iconsbigger, this is normal

You don't restart a laptop using the Function Keys (F1 thru F12). You restart the laptop by hitting the power button. The function keys will allow you to boot the laptop in SAFE MODE if you repeatedly hit the F8 key until you see the Safe Mode option after you hit the power button. Function keys will also allow you to change the boot order, go into the BIOS or Setup to change things also. You need to state your problem as to what is going on with your laptop.

Lewis:

First off, I am sorry that you are experiencing this problem. When you start the computer, hit the F8 key, this should take you to a menu that will ask you to start in Last known good configuration, start in safe mode, safe mode in networking, safe mode with command prompt, etc.

If you can get this screen, first try to start in last known good configuration. If that does not work, go thru the process again and see if you can start in safe mode.

Try this and let me know what happens.

Hi, I can suggest you to try going online using your neighbour's wireless connection. So you can easily find out whether its the issue with the internet service provider or anything wrong with the browser.

However please try going online in safe mode with networking.

Turn on your computer and start tapping the key "F8". You will get screen that says safe mode, safe mode with networking. Use your down arrow key and highlight the "safe mode with networking" , then hit enter. It'll take you to the safe mode (where few features in the normal mode will be disabled). Here try going online, If you don face the issue here it could be a virus thats blocking.

Please vote this solution if you think this might help others:) Thank you
Please let me know if you need more help:)

go into safe mode and restore your computer via a restore point that occured before the accidental hitting of the key.

hope this helps

If you're running XP try this:

1) Restart in Safe Mode. Restart and as soon as you see something on the screen start hitting your F8 key
This will take you to a boot option list. Highlight safe mode and hit enter. Wait for it to finish booting in safe mode.
2) Remember that 9/10 PCs running XP do not have any password on the Administrator account that shows up when you boot in Safe Mode.
3) Login to said Admin account.
4)go to START -> RUN -> "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) in the runbox. Click on ok.
5) You should then be able to reset your password.

If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If it didn't, or your running Vista, DO NOT rate yet just add a comment letting me know what happened and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks Maria.
