keyboard problem
G'day not sure if this is the right place for this, if not please move it.
I have a problem that I have been trying to fix ever since I installed windows 7 last year. When i press the tilde key(`) nothing happens, however as soon as I press another key the ` shows up eg if I press tilde nothing shows up but if the next key I press is 1 I get `1 The same thing happens with my quotation mark key/inverted commas ( ' ) Press it once and nothing happens but as soon a I press another key it comes up. Its the same for these two keys if I hold shift down too ( ~ and " ) If the press either key 2 times I get both keystrokes eg tilde pressed 2 times gives `` Every other key words fine. I have windows 7 64bit installed, with a logitech wireless keyboard. I have installed windows 7 on 3 other computers(two are 64 bit and the other 32bit) for friends and they have the same problem, two are using logitech keyboards and the other is a HP keyboard. Its a real pain when your typing and you look back and your inverted commas are in the wrong place or not there at all. Hope you can understand what I mean. Thanks for your time and hopefully someone knows how to fix this. Cheers Peter |

You said you installed it, did you use the same disk? It sounds like it might be a buggy disk, but it is odd it is happening on all of them.
Perhaps you could try updating the generic keyboard driver and/or the specific keyboard driver. ~Lordbob |

Thanks for the reply mate.
No every computer has it own install disc, one was even a brand new pc with windows pre-installed (i just set it all up for him) I have tried updating the keyboard driver with no luck. I will try it again just to make sure as i haven't done that for a few months thanks once again, cheers Peter |

That is REALLY weird. I cannot think of anything that would cause that.
Unless there is a program you installed on all of them. ~Lordbob |

Have you read this thread: ` key
![]() Acute ( ´ ) and grave ( ` ) are diacritical marks, often called accents. (Diacritic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
They are not supposed to appear alone, which is why normal keyboard layouts wait another character to be pressed before producing said character (most often a vocal) together with acute or grave. Pressing acute or grave should also produce nothing, print nothing to screen before another character is typed. An example: pressing letter e produces letter e. Pressing first acute ( ´ ) produces nothing, shows nothing on screen. But pressing thereafter letter e produces é. To get à, you have to press grave ( ` ) and thereafter a. Kari tried changing the keyboard layout again, but still the same. I can live with tilde key but the inverted comma key is a real pain, I use it a bit. |
