Issue #1

“When pressing keys on the keyboard, all we get are beeping tones”

“My keyboard keeps beeping, I cant type anything”

Dont worry - Your keyboard may be fine, try turning off filterkeys

Windows has a feature called “filter keys”, which can be enabled if you hold a key down for too long or press the shift key 5 times in a row ( on some computers only ). This will stop you from pressing any keys on the keyboard and typing anything at all until this feature is disabled.

If you have this problem click Start > Control Panel > Accessibility Options

On this screen make sure filterkeys is unchecked.

Issue #2

“F1, F2, or any of the “F” keys don’t work in programs or games”

In the past few years Microsoft has started producing keyboards with an “F Lock” function turned on by default - which means the “F1 - F12″ keys are swapped with things like “help” “undo” “redo” etc - but these functions dont seem to work too well unless you have some specific drivers installed. The keys wont function properly until you press the “F Lock” key (usually located at the top right hand corner of your keyboard). This is quite an annoying “feature” and I wish they would get rid of it to make it easier for the average joe.

Issue #3

“I used to have a wireless keyboard, but now my normal keyboard is not working properly, I cant launch programs, the computer keeps beeping or I cant select things properly.”

A few days ago I came across a client’s computer that was acting strangely, as if buttons were being pressed on the keyboard even though it was a brand new keyboard. I went through a process of elimination, unplugging all usb devices that werent nessicary and discovered that a reciever was still plugged in for an old wireless usb keyboard that was sitting in the corner with a phone on-top of it. As soon as I unplugged this device, things got back to normal again.
