[keyboard] issue with caret accent entry Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,   here is my problem:  when I want to put a circumflex accent on the "e" or when I want to put the two dots on the "i", here is what it shows - ^^ or ¨¨ -  I am not pressing twice on them. A single press gives me what you see above.  I am indeed in azerty mode and in France mode (French).  I tried changing the keyboard but the problem persists.  I thank you for helping me because I do not understand what is happening.

PurKiLLah2036 · Accepted Answer

I found the reason why the circumflex accent sometimes changes or not, no matter what,
after spending about an hour, I finally deduced that it is neither a virus nor a driver problem,
it's just that sometimes we accidentally hit the following two keys...

ALT and SHIFT!!!!

Which produces the switch between French keyboards or whatever, give it a try
I have a QWERTY keyboard anyway,
look, if I press (é) then I do the combination of ALT and SHIFT, I press again and it gives me (/)

Otherwise, try with CTRL + SHIFT, depending on the type

And there you go!! No more hassle!!!!

Hello Does this happen with Office 2000 as well as under MS-DOS? Are the other accented characters correct?  Claude

parisien · Answer

Salut question idiote, est-ce que tu tapes bien le o ou le e après avoir tapé l'accent?

affliegn · Answer

Hello,

I have the same problem, with a Belgian keyboard configuration, I opened a command window and got the same result. It seems to have started happening since SP2 or the latest updates.

Thank you

Dasce · Answer

Hello

To respond to parisien, I can't type a letter afterwards because when I press the key, two circumflex accents or umlauts appear immediately without the letters (^^ ¨¨).
There are no dumb questions.
affliegn, could you specify your configuration: Windows version, etc...

Thank you for your responses and I hope this problem will be resolved for both affliegn and me.

See you soon.

Do a scan. Or 2 online, it's not too serious but I think you're infected, this thing has existed for a long time, but we hadn't heard about it for a while..@++

Routier · Answer

I searched through my archives, and it would be either "bugbear" or "badtrans.b"; they hide in System32 and disable your AV. You should run Hijack and an online AV, and make sure to update yours... see you later.

Dasce · Answer

Hello,

To respond to Routier, I have Norton AV (Anti-Virus) 2004 and it is up to date.
I ran a scan and it found nothing. I also did a scan with an online AV and it found nothing either.
As for Hijack, I don't know what that is.
Regarding the "viruses" you mentioned, I even tried to find them by searching my hard drive.
Thank you for your suggestions and if you have any others, feel free to share.
I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks and see you soon.

kraco · Answer

It's a virus that left me one day...

Ezar · Answer

Hello,
I too have this problem, and the online scan or with Avast finds nothing... I would like to know if it is possible to return to a "normal" input of the circumflex accent or the tilde, if so how, and what other problems this old virus might cause... :/ Thank you.

albert57320 · Answer

Can someone tell me what the circumflex accent on the 9 key is for?  Thank you in advance and best regards.  A.

Calimero2674 · Answer

After two months of struggle, facing the same issue with accents, I found the solution: I had installed CAPTSCREEN and it was this software that caused the problem with the accents. I uninstalled it and restarted the computer. Everything went back to normal. So if you have this software and are having problems with accents...

Doucemarinette · Answer

Good evening
I need help because I can't figure out how to insert a circumflex accent on a capital E A U I O
So I went to start, run and I typed charmap.exe
I got my window with all my characters including the E A U I
When I selected the letter it said to do this
Press alt+0200 for the E with an accent
But when I do that I get no result
I know that I can copy and paste but I don't find that very practical
I would prefer to know how to type it on my keyboard
Thank you for your help Best regards Doucemarinette

Doucemarinette · Answer

Good evening I think your problem is because you keep your key pressed you just need to do this you hit the accent and then your a â but you release your key otherwise you will always have this problem it's a matter of habit Keep going, I'm sure you will succeed Warm regards, Doucemarinette

Hi,  Your problem comes from the G9 + G15 combo. Remove the mouse drivers (setpoint), and it fixes the problem.

PoupiLeLapinNainAngora · Answer

Thank you, I had the same problem and indeed it was the driver of my G9 that was bothering me :)

Hello to you and happy holidays.... oh, here's the problem :-)... The circumflex accent is no longer working correctly, it is systematically doubled, I also noticed that my homepage in IE was changing by itself and that I can't start the PC in safe mode, it reboots (I was trying to remove ad-aware :p)... If anyone has an idea of why or how, I thank you in advance.

Your problem comes from the Combo G9 + G15. Delete the mouse driver (setpoint), and it fixes the problem  Too good! Thank you very much.  Except I need the mouse driver :) --  It's hard to make a signature ;)

rahim · Answer

To type an "a" with a circumflex accent on your keyboard, first press the key that has the two dots and circumflex accent, then press the "a" key.

Hello, look further, I had installed a keylogger and I had the problem. I deactivated it and poof, no more problems.

glider · Answer

I have the answer for the circumflex accent. You need to press the circumflex accent key located near the P, and then type the desired letter. The accent does not appear during typing; it appears on the letter.

didille · Answer

Hello!
I had this problem too and it was due to G15+G9 for me as well, but I didn't uninstall the drivers, I just ended the setpoint 2 process in the processes tab of ctrl+alt+delete! And the problem disappeared, look: ê â ü !! :D

pseudonom · Answer

You just need to type alt+136.

TyR · Answer

I had the same problem and as you can see, it's fixed! Check your processes to see if you have fyof.exe active. If so, end that process and search your computer to find it and rename its extension (I changed it from exe to bkp). If everything works well after a while, you can delete it!

I did this because it slipped past Avira anti-virus (I know, it's free and mediocre but it works just fine for me!)

I hope this helps you!

toutfaire · Answer

A big problem: You press the ^ key first and then you press the key you want to accent = ê â û.... You hold down the shift key and you get: Ï OR ï Ü ü........ Shift key activated for the diaeresis. Shift key deactivated for the vowels You can also: hold down the alt key and type the number on the numeric keypad: 140=î ; 141ì ; 142Ä... It's up to you to check in the ASCII Codes.

Hello, to avoid this issue, you just need to use Internet Explorer 64-bit version. The problem is that you are using Internet Explorer 32-bit version in a 64-bit environment. There is no virus, no driver issues, only a compatibility problem....  Thank you and have a great day!

It's an old topic... But if it can help: Facing the same problem, namely when pressing the ^ or ¨ key to get: ê or ë, I had ^^e or even ¨¨e  After reading and trying a bit of everything you wrote, I finally removed from the automatic startup all applications from unknown manufacturers or located in my USER directory.
