Ever since I downloaded the latest Microsoft updates my "enter" key has stopped working. The "enter" key on the number pad doesn't work either. I've changed out the keyboard, so the board is not the problem. I'm using XP. I've seen similar posts on other boards so this seems to be a major problem. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Is there anyone out there that knows the answer to this problem? One page I went to said something about deleting the keyboard driver and reinstalling, but I don't have a clue how to do that. Another said something about going to regional settings and changing something or another....this problem has already gotten on MY LAST GOOD NERVE!!!

My enter key has stopped working yet again!! The first time I had the problem I had to restore my computer to an earlier date which fixed the problem however I don't want to have to do that again. It seems my enter key stopped working when I was finished using Wordperfect 10. I am also running XP and just installed updates.

Hey people!! I was having the same problem. A new keyboard will not help...it is not a virus. You need to do a System Repair from the Reinstallation CD (if you have one). This is NOT the same as a System Reformat. I have windows xp pro and was walked through the process by a dell tech rep, as my xp pro came bundled in with my computer from dell. You will have to find your individual system providers for assistance. If you know how to conduct a system repair already, break a leg. If you do not how to do it...do not mess up your system and bungfungle with it....call the people who support the OPERATING SYSTEM on your PC. |

by the way, you would have to restart the computer first after the system file checker window goes away. after reboot, that's when enter should work

I e-mailed Dell support, and they recommended the 'Restore to a Prior Restore Point' feature of Windows XP. It worked for me, I restored to the day before I installed the first of a number of MS patches (when my troubles began), and now my system is back to normal. To get there, click Start/Help and Support/Undo Changes to your computer with System Restore, and then follow the wizard. Here's a Dell support article that describes the process: http://support.dell.com/us/en/kb/document.asp?DN=RA1056529 I was as frustrated as the rest of you, and now it's fixed! BTW-you only restore system settings, none of your documents etc. are touched! |

I tried the link that Dell supplied. The Restore function solved the problem, but another one popped up. Now when I start the computer a message (Error: Could not execute Main. The system could not find the file specified). I can click by it and everything goes OK. You will have to reload any programs that you've installed since the restore point date. In my case it was a new pronter and a keyboard. Problem seem to be gone though. Yippee!

guys... stop removing MS Hot Fixes - the problem is in your Browser. I am probably the first one here who's going to give you a full answer. Your browser has been hijacked - no, I am not kidding, it was. Want proove? Sure -- Open your Internet Explorer and type..let's say "This IT guy is right!" (no www; no http:// just plaint phrase) and hit Enter Key (it will work (the enter key)), then see what happens -- it will go out and search for the phrase, but pay attention what Search Engine it uses (by default (unless you changed it manually) IE takes you to http://search.msn.com to search for whatever you typed in URL window), but in your case, I am 99.9% sure it will take you to some other search engine... why? Because it's been hijacked. now you probably think WTF? gives the answer -- go out on the internet and look for Spy Removal software, some cost money, some are free (i used one that's free, a rule of thumb - never pay money for what's on the internet). Good luck! |

It is getting really annoying, I have a really hard time typing e-mails and reports. I can't even go down a line right now when I am typing here. I was wondering if anyone was able to fix this problem, Please get back to me on how to fix it if you got it fixed. Sincerely, ~Derek~ |

Cannot for the life of me understand why the enter key no longer works. I have a HP pavilion (out of warranty of course )and on their customer support page there is a write up about the problem - funny how HP did not know anything about it when I rang up but clearly stated it was a Microsoft issue. In any case there was certain steps to take to remedy the problem........did it twice and the enter key works for about 30 minutes then its gone again. Have uninstalled and re installed the keyboard twice also but still the problem remains. I rang Microsoft and they know nothing about any such problem. I took the advice from this forum and I have downloaded and installed spybot S&D and if for nothing else it has removed a lot of stuff that I did not know I had. I will keep you posted of how it goes. (enter key just worked and got me to another paragraph....so far so good....but it has only been a few minutes) Linda - Australia |

Hey! I got a reccomendation that anyone who is having this problem, scan your computer for spyware. Some spyware causes this problem, so if nothing else seems to be working, try searching for "Spybot Search and Destroy" or go to "http://www.safer-networking.org/" and download [please note that all downloads are at your own risk, and there is a chance that removing some registry keys or programs with 'Spybot S&D' may adversley effect your computer. Please read all infomation carefully!] I talked to the IT pros over here at my work, and they blame the windows update... but claim that there is a 'patch'... anyone have info on this? I used "Add and Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to remove the update. I am a Windows 2K Pro user... so this is effecting a lot of operating systems! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU, HOPE THIS HELPS! |

My last notice here was 18 March where I had reported the same problem you are all having and downloaded spybot. It is now midnight 20 March and I have not experienced the enter key not working since 18 March...........this is a breakthrough especially since it was misbehaving after the computer was running only for about 30 minutes. I have to admit, not knowing much about the inside workings I was a little daunted about what spybot was showing me and so I left all registry keys alone and allowed spybot to fix all the others.....this has proved to be the much needed fix it. I do hope you all eliminate your problems...........warmest regards, Linda

HEY!!!!!!! I don't know a lot about computers but i figured this much out. Someone has hacked into your computer and has control of your mouse and/or keyboard. Download a free spyware program immediately. This one here is free http://www.spysweeper.com/free-spyware-removal.html and worked like a charm instantly. Glad I can use my enter key and my CD Rom drive doesn't eject anymore!!!! Bye for now |

Okay, dont flip, its probably not a hacked comp, like stated above. The reason the spysweeper works is because this problem is usually the result of New.Net being installed. Real Player, and Kazaa are two known sources of this. The registry fixer stated above sfc /scannow usually works. Spysweeper and Spybot will too. Or u can just uninstall New.Net from your comp. Good luck.

Hi all.............its now 26 March and still the enter is working, thank goodness. Originally I said the spybot thing worked a dream but I was removing a program the other day and I saw "new.net" in there. Couldn't work out where it came from so I deleted it. Spybot worked in the first instance but I too had the new.net..........could be some fact in just removing the new.net. In any case, my computer is fixed. I feel so sorry for people who, thinking it was their keyboard, went out and bought a new one - that stinks. To think someone can invade your home computer sucks............good luck all.

Here is the list of free sotware that you can find on the internet that you should run. Make sure you put them in their own directory, because one of them (can’t remember which), will create bunch of files that afterwards can be deleted. Run them in this order: 1st one – HijackThis 2nd one – CWShredder Hope this helps. -- IT Guy |

New.net is the responsible party in this issue...try going to add/remove programmes and uninstall it there...unfortunately, these progs have a bad habit of coming back again and again. Software reccomendadions are: Spybot Search and destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/ (already been mentioned but worth repeating :) AdAware 6.0 Standard Edtion http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ CWShredder http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html Remember to make sure all of these programs have the latest definitions.. use the help file to find out how. AND RUN THEM ALL!!! Each of these are very good but they all find different things. Also, make a habit of running them every few weeks or so, as well as using the "immunizing" feature in Spybot. I do reccomend Hijack This but if you're not sure what to remove with it, ask before you remove anything. |

New.net was the problem. Please delete this program under 'add/delete programs', reboot, and then download ALL of the spyware protection programs. You will need to rid your PC of current spyware and also protect it from new threats in the future.

As posted above, spyware removal tools will help with this issue. There is another spyware package (180Search) which causes this enter key problem as well - apparently in conflict with some Windows updates. The new Microsoft Spyware removal tool worked well. I used Spybot originally, which worked OK at first, but found the problem back the next day. |
