How can i fix my keyboard sometimes not work

Unfortunately, there is no way to update the Bella 3104 keyboard from Xpress DV to Win 10. The Bella 3104 keyboard is a legacy keyboard that was designed for use with older operating systems, such as Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is not compatible with Windows 10.
If you are using the Bella 3104 keyboard with Windows 10, you may experience some compatibility issues. For example, the keyboard may not function properly in all applications, or the keyboard shortcuts may not work.
If you are experiencing compatibility issues with the Bella 3104 keyboard in Windows 10, you may want to consider purchasing a new keyboard that is compatible with Windows 10. There are many affordable keyboards available that are compatible with Windows 10.

Rather than reinstalling try a Google search for (keyboard make/model) windows 10 driver. Without knowing which keyboard that's the best solution available.

This is a setup issue. The @ sign and the " ire swapped in the US version and the UK version of keyboards. Depending on the windows which you run you can decide which process to use in changing this. Although it does not pose any problem unless you it is very inconvenient to you.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Keyboards are easy replaceable parts, depending on the type of keyboard it is.. i know you probably like that keyboard, but perhaps you may need to take it back to the store and get your money back or replace that one as well. Since you say there was some conflict with software, I figure you probably had a driver issue with the keyboard, perhaps that keyboard is not compatible with your Windows XP SP3 // since a newer keyboard no doubt might be windows 7 compatible. Check to make sure again your KB is compatible with Windows XP SP3, Although, i know you probably have.. it wouldn't hurt to check again, you'll be surprise how something could be missed. :) Good luck, I hope this help.. If not.. perhaps others can weigh in as well :)

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(making a program work with windows 7)

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

Copy the installation to your hard drive.
now take the properties and setup it for windows xp under the tab compatibility.
now run your application with administrative privilage. right click then "Run as Administrator'

Vista's Compatibility assistant is known to have a lot of bug.

if it didn.t work then
Press the keyboard combination "Windows Key +R"
you will have run dialogue box
type in "services.msc"
in the window that appears look for "Program compatibility assistant" and then disable it.
now restart your computer and try installation
it will be fine

its recommended that you switch your os to windows 7 from vista as windows 7 is more bug free and crash is unlikely to happen

k i had the exact same issue. read all these posts online and no one could help me. so i took matters into my own hands. after removing all the screws from the back of the keyboard (figuring i had nothing to lose) i came across a very simple setup. and if you follow the two power cords that run from the batteries you will see they are connected to a card. two thin pieces of plastic are supposed to overlap each other and using the pressur from the back of the keyboard being screwed to the front of the keyboard connect to the power card. weeeeellllll i figured it must not have enough pressure agains the plastic pieces and put a lil piece of a business card i ripped up on top of them to make the connection tighter. WHHHHHHHALAAAAA ! freakin works! bahahahaha

From what I understand you have a compatibility issue with your new keyboard.

Here is what you can do, because it's probably a driver issue.

Youcan check if you are missing drivers by going to Start>(RightClick)My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager. If yousee any drivers that are yellow or with a ! those are the drivers youneed to find, download and install.

Windows Updates ~ When you go to Windows Update, do not "Express"update, rather "Custom" - Once it has loaded the screen, on the lefthand side you will see hardware. Download the hardware drivers there.They work 98% of the time, and Windows Update is pretty good now daysso it might fix your problem easy.
I don't understand the question entirely however.
Does your original keyboard work?
Is the new keyboard the only one not being reconizied?

Try differen USB ports, see if it makes a difference. Also, turn off the PC, and then plug it in. Sometimes the PC has to be restarted/turned off, before you change hardlike like keyboard and mouse or other accessories.

Hope I've been of some assistance!

I have seen this before, and the best answer I can offer you is some Motherboards are better than others when working with usb devices while no OS is in place. I actually tried using usb / to / ps/2 adapters and it still would not recognize the usb keyboard in a couple of instances. I had to get a ps2 keyboard for the installation of windows. After windows was installed I hooked up the usb keyboard and it worked fine. (just speaking from my own personal experience here)

Sorry I do not have a more technical answer for you but I'm almost 99.9 % sure this should work, providing there is no problem with the ps2 keyboard port on the Motherboard. I have never failed to install windows unless there was another hardware based issue of some kind, but never a problem with a known good ps2 keyboard.

Just double check everything is seated properly and try to get into the bios setup, if you cannot use the usb keyboard for this, you can try the usb / ps2 adapter, but if that doesn't work either then use a regular ps2 keyboard. That should work fine, then after setup is complete, windows is installed, then your usb keyboard should work fine.

Try booting the system to Safe mode.

To boot to safe mode:

Restart the computer. As soon as the BIOS has finished loading, F8 key on your keyboard. When Windows Options menu appears, scroll to select the Safe mode menu item, and then press Enter.

Select "Last known good configuration" then press Enter.

If that doesn't work reboot again and keep tapping on F8 to Safe Mode and instead of selecting "last known good configuration" select "Repair Your Computer"

Or you can try this:
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";}

1. Place your Windows XP set up disk in your CD drive.
2. Turn off your computer and change your BOOT order to boot from CDs first.
3. Turn your computer back on.
4. Press any key on your keyboard when it asks you to.
5. Press enter when you see a blue screen, one of the options should say, "To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.".
6. Press enter to start the windows set up.
7. Accept the Licence and Agreement and confirm that the setup is searching for current versions on XP.
8. Press "R" when the set up has found your current version of XP.
9. Notice that the Set up is deleting all your windows xp files and replacing them. (This will not cause loss of data)
