Weird keyboard problem...

[dw96]

Hi, I guess I should just go straight to the point:
When I press the key posted below (apostrophe & quotation mark) it writes.. um the thing twice! It's so hard to explain.

I want to write ' , but i get '' (double ')
I want to write " , but i get "" (double ")

I write it correctly because I just delete the previous but this is DAMN annoying. The keyboard needs no drivers it's somekinda.. Huyndai office keyboard. I didn't have this problem in Vista. What's weird is that it does the "doubling" thing whenever I write on the net, in my browser, etc. , but it does not have such behaviour in Notepad, Word or other windows places you can write stuff in... Can't be Opera bug because Chrome and IE do the same. What's even WEIRDER is that my multimedia keys (Play,Stop,Pause Vol UP, Vol DOWN etc.) were recognized by WMP12 and the other applications, but now this has appeared. I haven't tried anything yet, so got any ideas? This really SU><!

Did this just start? If so, what was the last thing you downloaded?

Check your language settings?

 

[dw96]

It has started since I installed seven. I made a fresh (clean) install.
I'll check the language settings tomorrow, got to go 2 bed, exams tomorrow!!!
I'll post the results in, say 18 hours .

I'll be here F5ing my screen in anticipation as I grab onto the edge of my seat!

 

[dw96]

Nope, nothing there, noticed my keyobard US language was set to international so I just tried the regular US and others but DAMN, the problems still appear.

@copernicus - So you were up all night waiting? LOL 'course not XD.

I was, I overloaded my ISP's servers with all the f5ing and they cut me off, I just now got my connection back.

=P

 

[dw96]

Sounds great! Your ISP must have been real happy! Still, have a somution to the problem?

I had same problem with the keyboard. You have US International layout installed. To deactivate it, go to control panel | region and language | change display language | change keyboards and add US keyboard. To be sure it will remain, you can delete US International keyboard

 

[dw96]

It... refuses to do that. When I mark the US-International keyboard the remove button stays inactive...
Question - At the PC stores, can we already see stickers "Designed for Win7"? I want to buy a new keyboard, (this one sucks anyway) and I want to make sure it's the PRO, lots of multimedia buttons, a scroll button on the side daming rubber on the WASD... About 40$ should be enough, right??? Also It's gonna be a Microsoft keyboard for sure... 4 days untill I finish school and get those 50 bucks from my grandparents, till then give me your advice! What should I buy?

yeah, I had the same problem... I'm in Australia, so I chose the UK language settings when i installed because it has more of the correct syntax and language features than the Australian version (LOL!!), but it also changed my keyboard layout to UK. Like you, it refused to change, so I fresh installed (luckily I caught it before I had installed much) and made sure I selected the plain US keyboard layout when the prompt came.

In terms of keyboards... It has to be the X6 Sidewinder!! I just bought this for AU$69.95 and it is AWESOME!! Backlit, tons of macro keys, full multimedia, removable num pad (also converts to a macro pad) for more mouse room... I can not even begin to extol it's virtues... Don't know how much it is in the US (or Bulgaria), but it's definately the best gaming/multi keyboard from Microsoft, imo...

You cannot remove US-International until you make US active, or over keyboard layout. For example, 1. choose US layout, 2. select it at default input language 3. remove US international . Hope it will work for you

THANKS A LOT!!! You rule! Finally I got this sh....oe XD out of the way
Rep+ - Just unchecked it from the ADD and left US as default.
