Hello everybody,

 

What internet browser are you using? Internet Explorer or another one?

Can you also tell be your complete computer model name (for example dv6-1234ab)?

 

It seems to be a problem with your keyboard. The Ctrl key seems to be faultly, because Ctrl+D usually opens the 'Add to favorites' window in most browsers.

 

Regards.

Hi

I have tried it on chrome and IE. when in chrome, the T key also brings up a new tab and if i switch to IE, the keys will not function in the search bar, the laptop "bongs" like there is an error. my model number is g6-1241ea.

 

thanks.
