Extra characters (zero's) show up when I type

In order to type accented characters, you'll need to know the ASCII code of that character. You can check that out in the character map. This can be accessed in the following way:

• Click the Start button
• Click All Programs
• Clicking Accessories,
• Click System Tools
• Click Character Map.

Once you have the character map open, you can just highlight the character that you want, and the ASCII code will be displayed on the 'Character map' window.

In order to insert the character, go to the textbox where you need to insert it, hold down the 'Alt' key on the keyboard and type the number on the numeric keypad.

In case of a laptop, you'll need use the numbers on the numeric keypad. But there's no separate numeric keypad on a laptop, instead, the numbers are arranged on the same keys as the letters. They're separate from the numbers on the top line.

If you have a desktop or a keyboard with the numeric pad, you can enter characters (accented) with an ALT key combination. If on the other hand you have a laptop and no numeric key pad, there should be an Fn key sequence (maybe Fn+F10) that locks the keyboard on the overlaid numeric pad. Better still, display the characters table and pop it open whenever you need a special character.

All the settings are in your router configuration. Whens etting up your router it will have a wireless setup section, in this section you set the security type;
WEP - (64bit or 128bit) - Wired Equivelant Privacy
WPA - (64bit or 128bit) - Wi-Fi Protected Access

WEP- 64 bit is 10 character numeric key and 128 bit is 20 digit numeric key (eg, 1234567890) WPA- 64 bit and 128bit are a passphrase comprised of anything numeric, symbols or letters (eg, 8taq*1%9)
You set your own WEP or WPA security keys and the best way to do so is to enter into your routers configuration. To do so do one of the following to find the gateway ip address;

Windows XP:
Click Start
Click Run
Type "cmd" without the qoutations and hit enter
A black screen will appear and in there type in "ipconfig" no quotations and hit enter
it will show up looking something like this:
Gateway IP........................192.168.1.1 (Example)
Write down the Gateway Ip Address
Open a browser from a computer connected hardwire into the router and type in that ip address into the browser bar and it will take you to the router configuration page.

Windows 7:
Click start
in the search field type "command" no quotations and hit enter
A black screen will appear and in there type in "ipconfig" no quotations and hit enter
it will show up looking something like this:
Gateway IP........................192.168.1.1 (Example)
Write down the Gateway Ip Address
Open a browser from a computer connected hardwire into the router and type in that ip address into the browser bar and it will take you to the router configuration page.Without knowing what kind of router you have though I cannot help any further as all router setup pages are different.

If you can give me more information on your router I can guide you to a page that will show you how to setup wireless on your specific router. I hope I have been helpful and feel free to comment for further information.

Normally, if you hold down the "Fn" key, you'll get whatever character or function is printed in blue on those keys. So holding down the "Fn" key, you now have a numeric keypad in the middle of your keyboard. Release "Fn" and things are back to normal.
Which is exactly the opposite of what the question is asking. The person asking needed to press the "Fn" keys to get the normal, white, characters for each key.
The "problem" is simply that there is a persistent toggle. If you press "Num Lk" (I've also seen it labeled "Pad Lk" for numeric Pad) it turns on the blue keys, and inverts the meaning of the "Fn" key - it's a way to use that embedded numeric keypad without having to hold down the "Fn" key the entire time.

To fix it, just find and press the "Num Lk" or "Pad Lk" key again. (Note, sometimes these keys are themselves "Fn" keys, so you may, or may not, need to also hold down the "Fn" key to get the right function.) Often there is an indicator light associated with the setting.

This should be a simple fix, look at your keyboard, you should have a function key and if you look at the number pads above the top row of letters there should be either a numerical symbol or a key pad, your keyb board is simply using several keys as an extended numerical keypad. If you look closely at the letters there are small numbers on them. To fix hold down function key and pressing the keypad button. You can also try pressing the number lock.

Your keyboard has a "Numeric Pad" on/off button, in order to compress a full-sized keyboard (with its separate numeric-pad, on the right) into the smaller size of the laptop keyboard.

Press that on/off button, to resume "normal" operation of those keyboard characters that are "multi-labelled".

to restore your system to factory default....restart the system..immediately hold the AltGr key(the one right to the space bar)down...and keep tapping the F10 key...you should screen that says windows is loading file..if not try a couple of times...once you get that screen...navigate through the screen ..this will help you restore system to factory default
let me know if this helps...

To get a backslash, you need to print the upper ascii character 92 (decimal). On most machines you can get upper ascii characters by holding down the Alt key and typing the decimal value on the numeric keypad. On the little IBM machine I'm typing this on, there is no numeric keypad, but if I switch on numlock (by doing shift-scroll-lock) the j-k-l keys become 1-2-3 etc. Now id I hold down Alt and type 92 (i.e.keys 9-k), this is what I get: \ Howzzat?.

the keyboard needs to be serviced
