Keys typing wrong numbers and characters - Dell Inspiron 1525 Notebook

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.

hi there,

Please make sure that you have typed the license number correctly. Usually it should be 5 characters then a ( - ) hyphen. If it still says incorrect you might want to try contacting microsoft from the phone number thats listed on the packaging because something must be wrong with that license number.

Sounds like the laptop keyboard went bad and thats why its typing wrong characters. Best way to verify this is to use a USB keyboard on the laptop, if the USB keyboard is typing the correct keys then you know the laptop keyboard is bad. If the USB keyboard is typing the wrong keys as well then you know its a setting in windows that is causing the keys to type wrong characters.

I'm an Asus X58C user in the UK and my keyboard is the same. I've not found an easy solution. The only way I can insert a £ character is this. Place your coursor where you want the character. Turn Numbers Lock on using the blue Fn and NumLk keys. Hold down the Alt key and then using the blue numbers keys type 0163. Release the Alt key and the £ character will appear. Turn Numbers Lock off using the blue Fn and NumLk keys again. Its laborious but it works, its how I typed it here. I also found out that if you hold down Ctrl and Alt and then press the 4 key, you type the euro character €. Hope this helps

just check the either ur keys wil be misplaced or goto keyword through control panel n edit the keys

Does it type " by any chance when you press the @ key? if so this is usually because keyboard input is set to the wrong language in the regional & language settings are wrong in the control panel. try pressing the left alt key & shift at same time first this is a quick key to change between input languages.

turn off the keylock on boot- this is an option in the bios. also you might be able to use the fn key and turn it off manually
