I cannot type the letter "b" (this was cut and paste from a time when I could). When I hit the AltGr key the keyoard lights up with function keys and when I hit Esc the letter b takes off until I hit escape. I hesitate to reoot the system for fear of losing all of my programs. Please advise.

replace it

To copy -- Ctrl plus the C key
To paste -- Ctrl plus the V key
To cut -- Ctrl plus the X key

Usually you have to hold the "Fn" key to get to these. Look for a "NumLock" key to turn this off. You may need to use the "Fn" key to select numlock.

Hi
The usual lights for a keyoard are the 3 above the number pad. they will be labelled to correspond with the following keys:
- CAPS Lock
- NUMBER Lock
- SCROLL Lock
When they are pressed once the light will go on, meaning that function key is active. So if the CAPS Lock key was pressed and the light is on, then any letter key (A to Z) you press appear as a capital in documents. Press CAPS Lock again and the light goes out and the letter will type lower case.
The NUMBER LOCK is for the keypad to the right (not the number across the top and above the letters). This function ensures the numbers will appear instead of their alternate function, such cursor and Page UP/down, Home, and End.
SCROLL Lock is not used much, but it can be used in Excel to hold the current selection. For example, you want scroll about the sheet using the cursor keys, but want to keep the current cell selected. So with SROLL lock active, when you use the cursor key's, the sheet will move in the direction you want while leaving the selected cell selected. Try it and you'll see what I mean.
I hope this helps.

you have open the number key,,,the blue icon means that

Hi,

You can restore the computer back to factory default,to do so, follow the below steps:

Turn OFF the computer, now as soon as you hit the power button, keep on holding "Altgr" key & keep on tapping "F10" key, i.e Altgr+f10, it will open the recovery console, select full factory restore and follow onscreen instruction.

NOTE: This will erase all the data on the computer.

Thanks and regards,

To obtain @ char, you need to press at same time: "AltGr" key plus "@" key.

Check if "AltGr"kaey work fine.

To obtian "@" char you can also press "Alt" key (not AltGr" key), hold press and type 64 on numeric tab. ;)
