Hi

Is the correct keyboard layout installed?

Look in Control panel >> Regional settings.

siriusblack04 · 05-13-2008, 05:05 AM

Yes..it's right..so i think this is not the problem. . .any other idea on this problem?

**eneles** · 05-13-2008, 06:01 AM

What language is:
The keyboard?
The Windows version?
The installed keyboard in Control panel?

siriusblack04 · 05-13-2008, 07:19 AM

Keyboard language is english(united kingdom),running on windows xp sp2..pci\ven number - ACPI\PNP0303\4&2FD10A02&0
think it might help. . .:-)

Have you installed English (UK) keyboard in Control panel >> Regional and language options?

Otherwise the signs on screen will not match the key you pressed.

siriusblack04 · 05-13-2008, 08:00 AM

Yes i did for both 'standard n format' and 'location'. . .but the problem still occur. . .is this got something with the driver?

siriusblack04 · 05-13-2008, 08:06 AM

I read a thread in this forum saying that a keyboard only need special driver if it got extra keys on it..well,my laptop got FN key,sleep and etc. . .they are extra keys right?currently it's using windows installed driver..

**eneles** · 05-13-2008, 08:13 AM

You could try uninstalling the keyboard in Device manager - then restart and let Windows reinstall the driver.
But, I doubt that will help...

Was the computer bought in the UK?

siriusblack04 · 05-13-2008, 08:18 AM

No. . .i bought it in asean region. . .malaysia to be percise. . .is there any difference in the keyboard layout between these regions?if there is,then how do the windows detect them when i installed?

What does the keyboard look like?

Try the Malay (Malaysia) input layout:
