laptops- how do you get the letters with the extra characters to stop typing the extra characters not letters?

you forgot to throw it on the floor and stomp on it.  Try it, for it will surely do the trick.

i'm sure you have the ~ sign on your keyboard (mostly just on the left side of the Delete button).  to get the ñ letter press the "Alt Gr" key + the key with the ~ sign at the same time, then release the two buttons, then hit the N button (or Shift + N) --> ñ Ñ.

Sounds like your Tab key is stuck. Try giving it a few good presses and see if it still happens.\n\nAlso, make sure the ALT key doesn't double as a function key. Some laptops are liek that. If the ALT key has another number, letter, term, or picture on it besides "Alt", it probably acts as a multifunction key. If so, check for the function key and toggle it OFF.

You are using a character on your keyboard that the login does not recognize or does not allow. Do not use dashes or any symbols that might be causing this.

It sounds like you may've damaged your keyboard. Have you spilled anything on it, or dropped, your laptop, or otherwise done unintended (or intended) damage?

There is probably a function key labeled "Fn".  And you will see keypad numbers in blue labeled on some of the existing keys.  You can use the same keystroke for ê.\n\nYou can also use the character map, located under Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map.\n\nEnjoy!

The Character Map on your pc has a heart under.  "symbols".\n\nGo to "start" "programs" "accessories" "system tools"...then "character map"....scroll down to symbols.  (You can use your arrow up and down keys to get there faster.)\n\nGood Luck.\n\nHold down the ALT key and then press numbers on the num pad. When you let go, it will type a symbol such as this smiley face: ☺ (ALT + 1).\nA heart is ALT + 3: ♥. You can press more than one number, though, such as ALT + 1 + 3: ♪. Similar things are usually grouped together, so ♥ is ALT + 3, ♦ is ALT + 4, ♣ is ALT + 5, and ♠ is ALT + 6. Experiment and you will find many more.\n\nAnother way of doing it is to type special codes for certain entities such as &hearts ; (without the space inbetween the code and the semicolon) which is ♥. Here is a list of a bunch of them: http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40...\n\nIf you're using Windows then a third way is to go to start > all programs > accessories > system tools > and character map (or just go to run and enter charmap). Then search for what you want, select it, copy it, and paste it wherever you want. For example, I found this in character map: ♫.   I found this under another answer.

They have a keyboard with various "strokes."  Once entering the appropriate strokes for a symbol, it combines them into one.  I'm to understand it's a bit annoying to use.

There (afaik) isn't a button which does so. If they're not working, i presume that something is faulty with your laptop.\n\nTry levering the keys out with a ruler or nail file, and checking if there is dust or dirt underneath them. Clean it out if so.

hold down ALT key and type 0176 on the number keypad then relase ALT and you get °\n\ndon't use the numbers on top of the letters, only the numbers in the calculator like bit on the side work,

I find that pasting from the character map doesn't work in all applications, including this one!\nHowever, holding down the alt key whilst typing numbers on the numeric keypad only will yield the following:\n1 to 66\n☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙\n♂♀♪♫☼►◄↕‼¶\n§▬↨↑↓→←∟↔▲\n▼ !"#$%&'(\n)*+,-./012\n3456789:;<\n=>?@AB\n\n91 to 99\n[&#92;]^_`abc\n\n121 to 255\nyz{|}~⌂Çüé\nâäàåçêëèïî\nìÄÅÉæÆôöòû\nùÿÖÜ¢£¥₧ƒá\níóúñÑªº¿⌐¬\n½¼¡«»░▒▓│┤\n╡╢╖╕╣║╗╝╜╛\n┐└┴┬├─┼╞╟╚\n╔╩╦╠═╬╧╨╤╥\n╙╘╒╓╫╪┘┌█▄\n▌▐▀αßΓπΣσµ\nτΦΘΩδ∞φε∩≡\n±≥≤⌠⌡÷≈°∙·\n√ⁿ²■

Dwight is mistaken. You can have it work the way you want.\n\nOpen Word\n\nOn the top bar select TOOLS, OPTIONS, Select the edit tab, check the "Typing Replaces Selection" box.\n\nThat will fix it.

Dude, let me know when you figure this out.  I'm also dying to know.  Is it really so hard to hit an extra two keys when typing words like "are" or "you?"
