Hello,

The number keys at the top work perfectly on my Acer. However, the number pad on the right side only moves the curser, but the numbers don't work. No 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., just moving the curser up, down, and all around. Thanks so much for your help.

Hello, I recieved my Dell Studio Laptop about 2 months ago, everything worked fine at the time. I was wiping off my keyboard one day and all of the sudden the number keys on the right hand side of the keyboard stopped working. I have tried the NumLock key and that did nothing. Most of the time it does nothing, but sometime is will make the page on the screen jump around, like if it were the arrow keys. I chatted with the dell people on line and they told me that it was a faulty keyboard, to send it into them and they will replace it. I just got it back the other day, and nothing is different!! They either did not replace it or that was not the case at all. They didn't even try it out. I am v...

Hello,
i am having a problem with my keyboard in Excel. Every few minutes when I am typing nothing shows up on Excel. If I save the excel file and then I can type for a few more minutes before nothing shows up in excel again. Any suggestions.

Touchpad and Keyboard wont work same time

Hey, I have an Acer Aspire 5742. However I am getting a problem whenever I try to play a game, if I am trying to move forward and turn around (using the touchpad to turn around and keyboard to move) it won't work. The Laptop allows the movement/keyboard priority over the touchpad so its almost as if the touchpad disables whilst using the keyboard. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any replies!
