 Wrong keyboard mapping.
Start / Control Panel / Regional and Languages Options / Languages / Details / in there select the keyboard arrangement you want - most likely the english EN one.

SOURCE: cant get my wireless connection to work not sure

To enable/disable WLAN, please press "Fn+F11" to execute the device: (then follow below steps accordingly)
Note: there are four stages in all, assumingly both bluetooth and wifi are installed.

First stage : press Fn+F11 = Enable WLAN only
Second stage : press Fn+F11 = Bluetooth On + WLAN Off
Third stage press : Fn+F11 = Bluetooth On + WLAN On
Fourth stage press : Fn+F11 = Bluetooth Off + WLAN Off

After enabling the WLAN, search the Access Point and connect with it. Now, you may use the WLAN.

If this does not work, check if the driver is installed in your computer by going to the device manager. check under network adapters. If the driver is installed, uninstall the current driver and restart the computer.

If the issue still persists, you may download the driver update at the msi website: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1474. Just make sure the driver you're downloading is compatible with yoru operating system

SOURCE: Keeps saying boot failure along with Ethernet controller v1.06 and media failure, check cable

What you are describing is a hard drive issue, remove hardware and reseat it back in place sometimes this will restart the hard drive. If this fails have it tested.

I have a lg bp630 3D dvd player that's new, only theres a problem, when i try find my wireless network to connect it wont find it, infact it does not find anything.. Cant try connecting via Ethernet cable...

Use a wireless extender. Then from the back of the extender use Ethernet to plug to your player. Better still, plug it into a switch and then you can use the switch to connect multiple devices using Ethernet which is much faster than the built in wifi.

I think there are 6 ways (at least?) to connect this printer:
(1) Direct to Mac (or PC) via USB Cable (2) Direct to Mac (or PC) via Ethernet Crossover Cable(3) Ethernet to router/switch, with Mac/PC also via Ethernet to router/switch(4) Ethernet to router/switch, with Mac/PC via WiFi (802.11 wireless)(5) WiFi to router, with Mac/PC via Ethernet to router/switch(6) WiFi to router, with Mac/PC also via WiFi.
As (1) should be simplest, tried this first. First document would print instantly and completely, next doc would hang in queue with unexpected msg, "Printer is offline." Only way to print 2nd doc was to power cycle (off-on) the printer. This problem occurred whether 2nd doc was sent to printer before or after 1st doc had printed. Tried 2nd USB cable, tried new driver, tried reinstalling printer; same problem. Spoke to both Samsung and Apple support, including both on a conference call; never got this to work and never clarified if problem was in printer hardware/software, driver, or something else. Both companies now showing this issue as unresolved.
Nothwithstanding USB problem, did succeed in modes (4) and (6), although custom wireless config needed since my network does not broadcast SSID and requires an encryption password. Procedure required connecting first via Ethernet, obtaining Configuration Report by holding down orange button for 5 seconds, then using browser to connect to the printer's IP address. Also required different driver for wireless config (as opposed to USB).
Bottom line: What seemed simple - USB direct connect - proved unworkable, but wired and wireless network config works fine.

How to find wpa key

You can find the wpa key by loging into the router interface, and checking the wifi settings. You will have to be connected with an Ethernet cable or use a computer that is already connected to your wifi.

Start by getting the ip address of the router:
1.Press the "windows"+"R" keys (this will open the "Run" dialog box)
2.Enter "CMD" in the Run window, and press ok
3.In the Command Prompt window enter the following command "ipconfig" and press enter
4. locate the Ethernet adapter or local area connection if using an Ethernet cable. If you are using a wifi connection, you want to locate the wireless Ethernet connection.
5.Under one of those headings you want to locate the "Default Gateway" address. It will most likely be similar to one of the following: 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1
6.Open a web browser and enter the address you found under the default gateway.
7.You will get a login page for your router. Usually the login formation is as follows:
admin/admin
admin/password
admin/leave the password blank
9.Once you have logged in you want to locate the wifi/wireless menu on the page.
10.Here you will find the wifi password

I can no longer get a wireless online connection. The wireless signal strength says "excellent", but the connection is "Local Only". It does work however with the Ethernet cable which...

ok so wifi fails we all know why the 100reasons,
why not use a 2nd PC to see if wifi fails there too
easy no/, ends all guessing what's up.

your post is not clear at all does the internet work wired.
yes/no
using a real browser to amazong or ebay etc.
that matters now what windows thinks, in CP

wifi is complex, (when failed)
so say what ethernet does? (real online)
and learn that in the taskbar, you switch off wifi first to run on Ethernet. it will show icon for ethernet . and good. and browsing works. the web.
if only 1 PC fails on wifi we fix the PC fails
of 2 PC fail we fix the router. see?

Yes you have a Ethernet connection and a wireless 802.11 adapter so you can use wifi - Most laptops have a wireless switch - some a physical switch other use a combination of the FN key + one of the F key to toggle on/off - make sure this is on.
